The hunt for light - a record of silent wars
It begins the same for most of us
"Why are they like that ? "
As a child, we see those around us, are different. We are not smiled with, but we feel we have to smile for them, we are not understood but we are to accept their reasons .
we ask
"Are we not enough ?"
As innocent little ones, we try to meet the expectations of our parents , our teachers, our guides. But it never is enough
As we grow, we want to know who we are, but never could find it. We doubt us, hide us , and we try our best to find us. We love those who donot love us back. Those who return it, are not recognized as love. We get labelled - the silent, the triggered, the awkward and the coward. They do not see our silence as our minds racing to contemplate, our triggers roaring at the injustice we sense, our awkwardness- testimony to us being from a world of our own and our fear- a measure of how much we have to lose, of how high the stakes are to us
We feel alone, as time passes by. With nobody else and nothing else, that says otherwise -
Don't we, My fellow warriors ?
To all of those reading these - i here by, as one of you, bring you the answer to the question we all have been searching for -
"IS there a light, at the end of the tunnel ? "
The first time you find someone like you, you realize we exist. The first time you find your values are shared, you find strength. The first time you feel you are appreciated, you find courage . The first time you find a taste of your world, you find the burst of energy against the shackles holding you down.
In a world of marketable media, where behavior is encouraged for sales, we, are ignored. Making us feel non-existent.
Yet we, have born scars of a thousand wars.
As you journey forth, know that we merely need to find each other, that alone is enough. For we have seen more, fought more, withstood more and passed more obstacles, pain and conflict, than the rest of the world combined
So to answer, "why have we not found the light at the end of the tunnel ? "
" Its because you are the light, visible to those behind you. Its because we are the ones to dig the end, for those after us "
Forge on brothers, proud to be one of you
