Thoughts

I opened my eyes just to meet the glaring sun peeking through the bus's window panes. I felt the warmth of the sun on my face in the wind. Hmm...the sun is trying hard enough to reach me through the raging wind. Maybe...just maybe I'm not the only one. And then, I felt a piercing pain in my inner earlobes. I woke up and sat comfortably before removing the earbuds that had been sitting in my ear for more than seven hours straight. These are not the things I felt while travelling. These are not the thoughts that would cross my mind while I was travelling. All that I feel now is different shades of pain, including my earlobe. It seems like I don't recognize myself anymore. Racing trees on the sideways matched my thoughts. My eyes caught the sign board on the road, Guard your thoughts well when alone and your words when accompanied It took everything to protect myself from my thoughts. Now, I don't know what it would take to protect me from these thoughts and their voices in my head. I don't know what it would take to control my reaction to a thought! How can it all be so complicated when it is supposed to be simple? Life is meant to be simple. It is meant to be one thing; the present. But now, it is anything but simple!
