Away from the crowd
occupying her own little space she was unconcerned about the world.
Neither knowing what's happening nor hearing the murmurings around her, she
just lived listening to the voices in her head and engulfed in the darkness
inside her.
Once, she was that girl
who had a place in everyone's heart and house. No celebrations were complete
without her laughter and songs. She was friends with both the old and young.
She was others comfort zone as no one hesitated to pour out their worries and tears
on her. But, one day down the lane, she lost herself. As if someone just
flipped a coin somewhere out there,she got consumed by her own solitude, without
hearing or knowing anything.
Everyone was curious to
know what happened to her, but not curious enough to find the truth. Maybe it
was her own choice to the path of ultimate freedom from the chaos of the crowd or play of the fate.
But who was to answer the world when she herself was far detached from life....

This definitely poses the question as to what happened?? I have been in this place and it isn't fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's heartbreaking. How do parents and significant others miss the signs?
ReplyDeleteYour series is amazing, Sheetal! Well done.
Its a beautiful story...a bit melancholy again.
ReplyDeleteI find that very sad that she was there for everyone else, but when she needed someone no one bothered to find out where she went or how she was. People are so self absorbed! ♥
ReplyDeletePoignant, Sheethal. Kudos to you for thinking this us !!
ReplyDeleteOh, that pictures made me so sad, Sheethal ... Very emotional story u had for us today, felt her pain.. and it makes me wonder what happened to her, or just all of a sudden... You are one great storyteller, lady, well done...
ReplyDeleteAnd hey! Thanks a lot for the mention:-) Big hugs
Maybe all she needs is a helping hand to pull her up unless this is the path she chose for herself...
ReplyDeleteA very interesting take on the Freedom...it can really be of so many kinds, can be experienced in so many ways...arrived at through so many paths. Very nicely done!

'but not curious enough to find the truth' So much pain and truth in these lines...the mindset of the ever curious society. This was beautifully written and left me wanting for more... So many why's left unanswered...

Intriguing post Sheetal, want to read the rest of it, why did she turn inwards to such a degree....
ReplyDeleteThis is thought provoking to say the least. I don't think many people can pinpoint that moment in time when everything changed. I wonder if anyone cared to find the truth would she have been able to answer truthfully? Reflex Reactions
ReplyDeletethis is so sad. Is it depression?? I hope she recovers soon.
ReplyDeleteSad thing what happens to these children.
ReplyDeleteI want to know what happened? Something bad or suddenly her mind turned?

A sensitive and thoughtful one. Yes, these issues do crop up in growing years...
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Thought provoking and interesting.
ReplyDeleteSad for her. But we need to know more!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, but says so much. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis piece is heartbreaking but thoughtful and poetic. "...to the path of ultimate freedom" means one thing to me, so I'm hoping that what I'm thinking isn't what happened to her.
ReplyDeleteThought provoking post ! Sad but true !
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an intriguing tale. Did she go crazy? Did she get depressed? What happened?
ReplyDeleteFreedom is where you find it...
ReplyDeletethat was so sad....But so well written and the emotions brought out so well!
ReplyDeletei wonder how ppl who are close to her missed this change or let her stay in that state!! brilliantly written!
