I'm the creator.
This is my world.
I stand amidst an isolated island,
Surrounded by water on each side.
Is this ocean made up of tears I have shed, I wonder.
On the island, I'm cut off from the world.
This is my space. No one can enter here without my permission.
I find myself standing amidst the dark forest.
I feel fear and loneliness.
Is this forest the wall I have created for myself, I wonder.
I shout. I scream. I hear no response or an echo. I'm all alone on this island.
I wonder what I'm supposed to be doing.
Should I find a path through this dark forest? Or should I let it go; going on the journey which ends at the beach anyway. It is futile and absurd exercise to even try and win a war I can never win.
I stay. I feel a sense of warm and comfort. Aah! This is wonderful! So warm and cosy!
A very long time passes by. I don't know how much; I'm no more bounded by time and space.
I wonder if I try hard enough, I will be able to find a way out.
I decide to give it a try.
I walk amid the dark forest. I feel irritated by the uncertainty and unknown.
I stumble upon something unknown and I fall. I get hurt.
But I pick up myself and keep going.
The pain and suffering becomes my strength. Oh lord! I can bear any misery you throw at me!
I find a ray of hope somewhere in the distance. I gather courage to follow my instincts.
I walk a long way towards the ray of hope and just when I was about to give up,
I find myself standing on the beach.
Oh light!  How I have craved for you.
The sand on the beach touches my feet,
And for the first time in my life, I feel happy; happy to be where I was always meant to be.
I wonder how many have accomplished what I have.
Air surrounding me gently touches my skin.
I look around and find two pathways: one leads back into the world and the other one leads to the heaven.
The world is difficult and unfair.
Oh how I crave to go to the heaven, leaving behind broken hearts.
A sudden realization makes me shiver: THIS IS IT!
I have to make a choice now: either back to the world, or heaven.
A sense of calm overcomes me. All the wisdom, all the knowledge and all the logic fails where I am standing right now.
I AM BEYOND THAT NOW.
I smile. I know what I'm supposed to do.

I jump into the water, ignoring both pathways, and decide to find my self.
I'm the creator.
And This is my world.
I decide my own fate,
AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
