The Stranger Besides Me


That one day when I came face to face with the stranger closest to heart,
my world fell apart.
Since then I have been running away from myself.
Since then I have been crying in the dark corners of my house.
Since then I have been trying to find solace in the the outer world..
The outer world.. is that what I just said??

    That one day when I came face to face with A stranger closest to heart.
    I FOUND A FRIEND.
    Since then I have been knowing him and finding myself anew.
    Since then I have been happy and lighting the dark corners of my house.
    Since then I'm finding solace in the the outer world..
    The outer world..

    It is me. I am the stranger that I've seen beside me. I scare myself sometimes. The outer world isn't home. The stranger is inside my home... inside where my heart is.

    On the inside there is no stranger, the stranger is on the outside looking in.
    There is nowhere you can run away from yourself, you can only distract from it's ever presence; and no real solace apart from surrendering your heart.

    that stranger is somehow a part of our own being ...at times we fear ourselves only...try to run from our own shadows...n seek for the outer peace...not realizing that it is our inner self which needs solace...we need a proper compatibility with the 'stranger part of ourselves '

    The outer world is an illusion...and a stranger is just a friend you do not know. Stay a while and you will discover more...

    be brave,
    or keep running.
    one will make you learn, the other...not so much.
    with love,

    Wait what if he's there too?
    I can't run for ever!

    Let me face him as I should have done,
    And fight it off the fear I have
    For I know 'am far more pure than his,
    darkness of a soul,he-an evil that lurks in me

    Win or die I have a fight to fight,
    Still I wonder if I might
    lose to those wickedness of his (jive)
    die I'll if I must and won't let him stay alive

The story starts: She was an innocent prisoner, a victim of circumstances, a victim of this cruel, canny world and was serving her sentence in a prison awaiting execution.

She was sitting at the same place unmoved and she screamed at him, "Whyyyyyyyy? Why stranger.......... why you? Why..... when because of whom I am here, he never cared to bring down the walls.... why you?" For the last time his dying eyes met hers and he said .................. T
