How does it feel to give up on something that drove you every second?
Something that gave you purpose to fight all these years.
Something that consumed your time, energy, and sleep.
Something into which you have put all your soul.
You have come too far. You always thought that giving up was never an option. But now you have reached the end.
“The Dead End”
You have reached the end of dreams and stranded in the middle of nowhere. The road of dreams has ended abruptly. Your mind is now liberated from the fickle thoughts. No more switching over between “Never give up” and “It’s okay to give up”. You take time to give in and accept this dead end.
You see the sky getting dark. This time, the night closes in permanently.
You see the monsters peeping out from the bushes.
Grinning…Howling…
Waiting to devour you.
You look into their glowing eyes and see them having a sense of relief. They no longer have a warrior to fight with. They are waiting to celebrate your failure and tell you that some dreams are always meant to be dreams.
You are about to witness the most painful thing where your dreams die while you are still alive, while you are still fighting. That feel of powerlessness at the merciless hands of monsters.
You have put up a great fight all these years. Fighting them all along the road of dreams. And now you realize there is no route anymore. You stare at the dead end. The dead end sympathizes with you. It curses itself for not providing a path.
You have nothing left in you to fight. And you have no reason to fight for. Gone are the days when you fought till the dusk and survived to fight the same battle the next day. Now that there is no road, what would you fight for? You have completely lost the purpose.
As time goes, darkness surrounds you. The monsters close in. They get ready to knock off your guts one by one. Till the point when you succumb and become a hopeless soul.
You laugh at them and take out your sword for one last time. You know the monsters might overwhelm you and defeat. But they can never take away your fighting spirit.
That belongs to your soul.

Well there are deep meanings in this post and am sure even more deeper reasons why you chose to write about ‘The Dead End’. This is something many experience in life. Some attempt to replay every such experience in their mind and soul while some give into fate and move on. However, I believe human body and mind can take a lot more of such ‘Dead Ends’ before it comes to rest. So here you bid farewell to one, and there begins a new path where you might encounter a new one. This undying spirit must definitely be above every Dead End because if it is not, we would have seen this world the way it is. History has proved that firm conviction can wrest away the last laugh from those Dead End monsters.
Way to go machi!! Keep writing and inspiring !!
