Days of waiting...












Photo by - Endevourme
Some times you just run out of options. All options are equally bad. All you have in hand is to sit back and wait. Wait for alternatives to open up, for stalemates to break. These are times when you feel helpless and dependent. Your future depends on people who have no right to choose for you. But you can do nothing. You cant even argue, for arguing might be taken for hostility. And keeping quiet might be the only way to steer clear out of troubles. These are the times when you feel that head on troubles are better than long standing, slow, pulsating pain. When time seems to have stopped and mind seems to have become numb. Dark clouds float in the sky, but it doesnt rain. Suffocating dampness fills everything. All the colours seem to have faded. Everything is dark, everything is gray. Happy chatter seems like unbearable noise and warm smiles seem like deliberate torture. Days of stagnation and dead quietness when shadow of the evil looms in the background.

Many times I wished every situation I face is the cause of my action. But it's always the other way around. Then, no other go. Wait till the situation dilutes and new options unwind.

Hope the darkness is given away to the bright sunlight and the clouds cleared away for a beautiful blue sky, It always happens, everything has to end, and so will the gloom and darkness.
