Lost in a Maze

Hello out there,

There is a strange feeling trying to fill an empty space with words and phrases that makes a lot of sense. You have a shadowy feel about what to say and how do say it, but you are not too sure it will land dry and safe. Like pieces of a jigsaw, you can make out the picture in your mind and yet you are afraid it might not turn out right.

That is probably what most people refer to as ‘doubt’, but its as real as the rising of the sun. None, not even the most prolific of writers can comfortable say they do not have doubts about the stuff they write about. You can never be too careful, nor too careless, least you get your readers lost in transit. You always stray along the middle hoping to find solid ground to enable you spring high up into the clouds.

You desire your readers will find you interesting, witty, cocky and all the adjectives that generates a buzz. Its the desperate ‘15 minutes’ of fame you desire. That will get fingers pointing at you and the parents telling their kids to strive to be like you. Wow, that sounds like a dream in the land of aspiration. Hey, its still possible. Remember, if Miss ‘X’ has been able to achieve it, so can you.

I have heard that being said a couple of hundred times and seen that materialize like two times. Or was it three, I’m not too sure. Anyway, here I am, in this huge maze they call the web. I can confidently say, its the biggest, twisty maze ever. And it gets bigger, thicker and scarier every single minute.

The truth is I lost, not lost for words, but lost to be found. I am waiting to be found, by anybody and whoever. I’m probably a click away from being discovered or I could get mixed up here as part of the junk nobody wants to know about. Whichever platform I find myself, I’m willing to take a risk.

It is a very simple risk, but its quite tricky. You might either like me or dislike me. But what I’m about to do is quite easy and hard, its scary, but it will strengthen a society. It will give me wings to fly, but I aim to soar with the eagles over the highest mountains. It will make me a beacon of light and hope to some, but to others, I will become a thorn in their flesh. A searing pain with no relief, like a boil under an armpit.

Did I arouse your curiosity? Do not get too excited, for it might not mean much to you. You might probably might shrug your shoulders and click me away. All the same, I will take that risk and that is, to EXPRESS my THOUGHTS.
