Bubble

Drifting in my own sweet 
bubble all these years, thinking 
everything is crystal clear, as 
clear as the view from within.. 
all of a sudden, it seemed 
pellucid, tried figuring out what 
was going wrong.. gave every 
detail a lot of thought, but I 
was inordinately disappointed.. 
Tried letting go, tired not 
thinking too hard.. One 
morning, startled, I find my 
feet sensing the rugged earth.. 
woke up into an entirely 
unfamiliar phase, one filled 
with bitterness and negativity, 
seemed like a whole new 
puzzle to me.. What I feel right 
now is a mélange of emotions - 
mystified, taken aback, 
strange, claustrophobic, 
vulnerable, chilled to the bone.. 
Reality finally dawned upon 
me, realised that the pellucid 
bubble was a sign, a warning.. 
My sweet bubble had 
disappeared, again signalling 
me to go ahead, whispering to 
me that it has made me strong, 
pushing me to face the reality 
as time has come for me to put 
together the zillion lessons and 
fly high on my own... I know its 
going to be tough, but I know 
I'll shine.. Thank you Bubble..
