The Ropes
Ropes that hinder us from moving forward
There are ropes,
Rope of security ties my legs,
Rope of uncertainty ties my hands,
Rope of anxiety ties my body,
All of these ropes cease me from moving.
I am not sure how to untie them,
When I resist,
The knot of ropes become tighter.
I can’t resist but cry,
I cry loudly if someone can hear me,
But no one is there to help me.
Till now,
I didn’t realize,
There is a beautiful penknife beside me.
But, when I start to surrender,
My mind becomes calmer,
I saw the penknife,
And I pick it up with my fingers,
Slashes each rope of suffering.
Now, I am free,
Thanks to the penknife,
To liberate me from the agony.
The ropes represent the emotions and fear that I face for the past few years. The penknife symbolizes the creative writing that I adapt recently which slowly free me from the negative emotions that I am facing now. Creative writing helps us to tune into the intelligence and awake our hidden potentials. In order to manifest our potentials, we need to be mindful and stop resisting the flow of life. When our mind becomes still, we can dive deep into our subconscious mind and explore the hidden unknowns that will give birth to a beautiful life.
