Seen – Part 1: Unknown

Seen is a four part series. Stay tuned for all four parts.

I can’t see. It is just so dark. I walk along this path with no light in the darkness of night. The clouds are covering the stars in the sky. How can I continue if I can’t see the path ahead.

I continue on the path that I have followed for so long. I approach a fork in the path. I stand there not knowing which way to take. It is so dark I have no idea which way is the right way. I stand there hoping that something will just come to me and I will know which way to walk. Nothing comes to me, so I continue to stand there. I am just so confused and things just seem to get blurry the longer I stand there.

Nothing makes sense. The world around me seems to have it together. There are people that seem to know where they are headed and they are not lost like I am in this moment. However, I don’t know why that is. I continue to make the choices that I have made in the past, because that is what I know. I continue with my life knowing only what I know because no one has taken the time to show me otherwise.

My life, is what I want it to be. No one dictates what I choose. All I know is that my family loves me. On this night, there are no stars lighting up the dark night. I don’t know a soul that could see through this dark night.
