Have you ever wondered what it would be like to return to the good old days when you could get away with anything? A time when things around you seemed really simple, and the only big decision you have to face daily is whether to watch Mickey Mouse or Ghostbusters. And for that matter I still wonder why my parents kept asking me to change my “suspenders” then, at that age really there isn’t much to suspend.
Anyway as we grow older we start to realise that the world is disgustingly messed up, and makes you regret wanting to grow up faster. For one, the bright big world is now ruled by some tyrannical monster and everything is dictated by how much money we have in the bank. It seems being the biggest angriest kid in the playground does not automatically make you the boss anymore, well unless you’re in WWE or UFC.
But seriously, have you ever stopped to wonder what your life would be like if you had chosen another path instead of walking down this dark endless tunnel?
I, for one, have chosen the darker path and it’s too late to turn back now because the darkness is drawing me in. The darkness is like a demon unleashed from hell to mock my decision to walk this path, it is also angry that I have insulted his mistress. Every time I try to run back, the darkness will grab hold of my feet with his fiery hands and pull me in deeper into the tunnel. Every time I reach out into the light, he is there telling me that the lights would blind my eyes. I try to escape, but the darkness has a presence so overwhelming that the voices in my head are convincing me that there is light too at the end of this tunnel.
For now, I am stuck along the lines I have chosen to walk, my only consolation is that I can still see the light from where I came and the moment the darkness is unawares I will make a sprint for the light.
