By One Self

I'm allows lonely staring out a window never knowing what's on the other side. Trapped in this narrow and hallow chamber, I resign in a quiet place where I'm all alone. Sometimes I wonder how big and excited the outside world is. It's my dream to explore the outside world someday. Huh, yeah right, keep dreaming I've been here for more than fifteen years so how in the world will I ever escape from this prison. Then suddenly out of nowhere the windows shattered vigorously, while the wind blew in fiercely. The ground started to shake and tremble, is this the end I wonder as the floor gave way beneath my feet. Alongside the ceiling which was caving in, I thought as if someone was crunching away at the box which held me prisoner. As I slowly open my eyes I suddenly feel myself in another world entirely. Is this merely a dream or is this the ... the afterlife. Then I heard the chirping of birds "I'm not dead, where am I then" I said rubbing My eyes from the sun's rays. Is this the outside world, I wonder. Tall oak trees shaded me from the sun and gentle breeze blowing my direction. Finally I'm free, from the place I once called home. Then suddenly out of nowhere tears appeared falling down my cheeks and a smile on my face. I thought to myself after all these prolonged years who would have thought I'd ever see the world outside. After journeying for a few days the world outside was nothing like what I read in books. The grass was indeed green it had no scent, surrounded by various trees some tall and flourish while others were skinny withered and have many branches. The sky was clear as my mind and other times clouded with no rays of sunshine. Even though it has only been three days this isn't a bad place. I have never been this happy filled with emotions. Even though I'm still alone, all by myself. I'm no longer a prisoner cage within hallow halls. This new life is now in the palm of my hands and I'll grasp it. I'll try harder and harder without a moment of rest. To live my life to the very best. After a whole month of journeying, I came across various hardships and trials. since I neither had food nor shelter and only the clothes on my back still remained. I do wish I had a compass to show me the way, even though traveling without knowing the way is quite the trill. I do have a strange feeling I'll soon change my mind. After realizing there's no more food I have decided to try hunting since before all of my meals consisted of fruits and water. Usually berries from nearby bushes and water from the lake, I've been following from last week. The reason being that villages are often built alongside river banks. Which I learnt by reading one of my many books. Using knowledge as a guide was indeed helpful. After all the books and stories I've read I believe I will master the great outdoors. I've tried carving wood to make a fishing rod using a small rock, gathering small branches of wood to build a fire to keep me warm at night and even try to learn how to swim. On the end I did manage to cargo only a fishing rod but also I wouldn't stop to use for both catching fish and hunting small animals. Adapting to want environment the key factor in survival. The fishing rod with a failure since I did not have any sort of string. Also I'm getting the hang of swimming even if I only know how to stay afloat. Aside from home I'm getting on in my new environment I still feel rather loners if I was in a box and now I've been placed in a cage. First not being able to know what's out there and then suddenly being able to see but still can't reach it. well enough of that pressing stuff and in with the new. after I've been following alongside the river banks for two more weeks I saw in a distant a small village if my predictions All right I'll arrive there soon yet I still wonder if I'll always be myself.
