The Room (Just a post)

Here I am, sitting alone in the corner of this dark room.
I can see nothing but darkness. I can hear nothing but silence.
Between these four walls I am sitting alone.

I’ve been trying to get out of there but I couldn’t find the doors.

I knocked all the walls.
My knuckles started bleeding long time ago.

I used my fingernails to excavate the wall.

I started smashing my head into the walls hoping to do some cracks; so that light might find its way through, but every time I’ve found walls behind walls.

I dug the ground but underneath, there was nothing but thick steel.

What should I do, I don’t know?!!

All I need is a sign, I don’t want anybody to open the doors for me neither to dig a tunnel.
All I need is someone to knock from outside the walls and tell me where I should continue.

Ok I really felt like making fun of you but those 2 sarcastic comments inside my mind kept competing on whether I should put.. so I decided to put both:
1)excavate???knuckles??? It seems someone went back to memorizing the Oxford dictionary?
2)Don't knock on the wall.. neither excavate it.. it seems you fell asleep in the cupboard again?? Just PUSH the wall...

Seriously...
nice post... but does it refer to you -in person- reflecting something that happened to you lately? or you're referring to the current Islamic/Arab status...
Or maybe both??

If I could add an Image..I would have added Hanthala here...

Signs are everywhere, you just need to learn their language, and when you do, the same room will turn into heaven :-)

it's always this way, knock all the doors, and no matter how long it takes at some point you'll find the right one!

Regardless of all their answers and advices 3abood,

I really like the idea that you are facing the truth, im not being negative, but if this is how you really feel, let it be...

So This is one...there is a dark room and your trying to let the lights in....

Or your trying to leave the room where you can find some lights...

BUT YOUR EXACT CASE IS THE FOLLOWING 3ABOOD, weather you wanna deny it or not..here it goes :

You are in a dark room, but there is a ladder that is maybe 6 feet away from the floor ...and that ladder would lead to the SUN...

BUT 3ABOOD ... WHEN you decide to JUMP TRYING TO REACH TO THAT LADDER, LET ME KNOW..in order ill ask you to decide to climb that ladder....

why u dont wanna jump? neither you want to go up the ladder?

BECAUSE ur afraid of the sun..or of the sun light....or maybe your afraid that the DARK bricks that this room is made from would blame you for leaving them....
BRICKS that never helped you....
BRICKS that would never give u...
and above all...BRICKS that are speechless.

BLESS

I had to reply on your comments long time ago, so sorry for the delay, thats why I am going to do it for each one now.

Sary, I won't go that far man.

Ashraf bared man.

Natasha, as usual nice thinking and nice advice.

Anonymous, thanks man for being such a fine anonymous friend.

Zika, thanks man.

And life goes on.., I will be keep doing it no matter what.

Amjad I am not "facing the truth man", cause it is just a post.
I think man that I know what do you mean by that.
Anyway man your comment was touching.

hisham, loool.

After all, I think the right way will be in all of what you have said over there. Positive thinking, looking for the signs in a different way, keep trying, friends, opening my eyes, and seizing every chance.

Personally I think I am doing all that.

Thank you all.
