My world of Glass
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 31 - 05 - 2011

In my world of glass, I was living for years and years, looking inside my world seeing nothing but gardens as much as my eyes can see. Alas, it is made from glass that wasnt able to protect me from not seeing the real world around me. I can see sorrows, pain, anger, cheating, filling their world. A cruel world cant bare to live in, I promised myself to stick to my world for why to choose to go outside when my world is my rosy. But suddenly, from very far away, an angel came towards me smiling dazzling to me , stretching his arms to me. I cant see him yet clearly, but still he insisted on coming close, so beautiful to picture , to unreal to believe, was I dreaming , was it my imagination tht drew him, I closed my eyes and opened them again, but still I can see him getting near. suddenly , my world glass started to crack for he cant get inside. But does this mean do I have to go outside, to the real world, to the pain.... Fear haunted me, wishpering dont go, stay , you dont belong out there.... But he is awaiting I replied, he wants me..... But, the more he is approaching the more my glass cracked, I cant protect my world any more. He is near I screamed to myself and I am so afraid, screaming to him dont take me away dont break my world.......... a soft voice called, I will be your world, your sorrows, your happiness, I will protect you, I will hide you in my long loving arms , I will never let anything or anyone hurt you or know your place or fear extend to your heart.... So softly it spoke I couldnt have resisted more, and my glass was broken scattered everywhere, but he was there standing with his beautiful smile, and sweetly he spoke : Trust me " , I looked in fear but I believe him, I gave him my hands and sarted walking but to a world I feared my whole life but still I felt secured when I listened to his voice even when he is not infront of my sight his voice was my protection........
Days passed by, without realising tht the real world was still to face even with his protection .... when a suddenly the real world arosed its huge tides , capturing me everywhere I go , from where I can escape, I dont know, the tide is getting higher and faster towards me, I started to cry looking for him, but he is standing I can see him , this time sooooo far where he cant reach me and neither could I...... I had to face the world alone , I had to go through the tide to reach him . I looked how great it was and still I can see his smile on the other side. " shall I continue or shall I runaway?"saying to myself ..... His sweet voice called and screamed out loud , " dont go , dont go " he kept on screaming " I need you " he shouted....... And the tide is getting near I said to myself, " I need you too " I answered back...... He replied " then let go all ur fears and come" ......... And kept on screaming to me " I need you, I need you more than you ever think. more than you think you need me" and a cry blasted off from his eyes which broke me inside and suddenly the tide was over me I cant see him no more , cant hear him........ I closed my eyes and remembered his cry, listened to his screams inside me....... I woke up and said " I will never let go" I swam under the tide , but it was too long and all I see was the fear ..... I insisted on continuing " I want him , I need him" I said to myself, whenever fears runs to haunt me. And I decided to get through this my first journey of fear tht I have to pass alone to show him inspite all I came to him and that I will never give up, still asking myself in despair " Will he be waiting for me, or will he give up, will he be still wanting me or will he bore my awaiting?" " the journey is too long, I know , but I promise you still, I will pass it through to come running in your arms , for the passion and calmness, for the secure and for all I have for you and you have for me, I will pass through, if you can wait for me...."
