Today, I feel alone,
like a ship without a harbor to anchor,
adrift in a silence that screams,
lost in a vast, endless sea of emotions.
The world stands still,
and in this quiet void,
I search for meaning in life.
I don’t know why I feel this way—
perhaps because the silence weighs over me,
and my mind drifts, unmoored, on open waters.
In this stillness without answers,
a door opens before me.
My heart hesitates:
Is it real, or just another illusion?
Suddenly, hope awakens,
like a gentle voice inside,
urging me to rise from my sleep,
whispering softly:
"Get up,
take a new path."
It seems sincere,
but dissolves like a mirage—
will it vanish again, like before,
when I thought I grasped the truth
but found only a dreamlike state
I cannot yet escape?
I awaken and look around,
then something within nudges me forward,
an unseen force lifts me up.
I stand, wash my face,
step outside, and the sun greets me—
bright and strong,
as if saying:
"Now everything will change.
Keep going, don’t stop—
there’s a door open before you..."

- Comment from author about the poem: I was experimenting with five words and produced this poem. I attempted to mimic his approach after reading about Jorge Luis Borges and his writing style. I may not rise to that level, but at least I have a written poem before me.
