Give me life

Feeling as if I am standing at the end of a blind alley; in -front of a closed door; darkness filled all around; a moon-less night with thundering storm being awaited; no signs of shaking of leaves; meowing of cats and occasional barking of dogs, causing the heartbeat to grow fast;

I am completely unable to find a way forward; there must be, I mean, a way but my eyes are constantly blinded by the darkness prevailing around; there are no signs of any light house near or far; no light to give me the thread of hope; where am I standing? is this a grave? yes! it certainly is; but I am alive, I am alive; can anyone hear me; can I have some water; But where can water be?

The piece of land under my feet is dry and sandy; I am feeling certain insects crawling on my body; oh! that was a snake, I am sure, that just slipped above my foot; why am I left here to die like this; anyone please let me out of it; the air is getting tightened around me, darkness engulfing my body, tissues of my body drawn tight, my bones are cracking and my hair all falling due to immense stress on my mind;

I am feeling the presence of the “Ghost of Stairs” that T.S. Eliot mentioned in one of his poems “Ash Wednesday”; please God let me out of this hell before hell; help me please; give me some air, give me some water, give me some sunshine; give me few more moments to LIVE…..
