Upliftment of soul
It was dark, midnight time, Quietness was all around. I was dreaming and in it I was feeling like something is coming towards me, suddenly I begin to fall and I woke up. It was very dark, cold and I was trembling. My past was haunting me again. I heard a knock on the door. I got up and was going to unlock it.I don't know why but I was walking in the dark. I fell once, as there were lot of things in my room. What can you expect from someone with a character like me?. Room wasn't as dirty as much my soul was. It filled with filth and lust. I opened the door and there was no one. Just darkness covering all the things. I went outside and walked a bit, maybe to take some fresh air. I was walking and just feeling like sand was beneath my feet. I stoppedper and looked on my feet I found water was also touching it.

Had reached the shore of an Ocean. Full of filth, mud and blood. I want a bit, came back and sat there for a while. Sun began to rise and I thought of crossing the ocean. I swimmed in the ocean hoping to cross it.
filth was touching my eyes, lips and I was completely filled with blood present in the ocean. It was afternoon and i reached the other side. On the other shore, I saw a man sitting there. He was looking like someone I knew. He looked at me and called me full stop then I began to walk after him. I had named that guy “hope”. He took me to the cave. Main body was completely dripping blood instead of sweat as I went inside. He said walk till you reach the end and he left. it was actually hurting me as I wasn't wearing any shoes and I was walking on rocks in the cave. Blood was oozing out off my feet and I was feeling immense pain. I went out of the cave, I could feel it was raining but I had gone blind. Maybe it was a way to protect me from seeing the filth again and stopping my heart to turn into a stone.

I walked a bit again and darkness covered me again. I reached to the point where there was no one and no way to go now. Just a door. I knocked on it and then suddenly got benumbed. I don't know how but I reached the shore of the ocean again. I was no more blind but my eyesight was weakened. I could see a man covered with blood and filth crossing the ocean and I looked at him. He was looking familiar to someone I once knew. So I called him and showed him the way to the cave. The cave where I was blinded for sometime but my soul was surely purified and my arrogance got lowered.

Based on poem by me ( Zeeshan Zameer)

It was midnight
I heard the knock on the door,
The whole house was filled with darkness,
And all the things were on the floor,
My room was like my character,
Filthy and full of dirt.
I opened the door, walked a bit,
I don't know how but I reached the shore,
Of the ocean of mud, blood, filth.
I swimmed to cross it whole,
I reached the other side and,
To my surprise I found hope.

I walked after him,
On the new path that he showed.
I walked on it without knowing anything
Blood, mud, filth had had me covered.
My hands your wet, so were my lips
I reached the cave and rain showered.
I went inside, half of my body was cleansed,
I walked till I reached it's end.
I went out and could feel the rain,
But my eyes were blind.
I walked a bit and reached the door,
Knocked on it, then got benumbed.
I don't know how but I reached the shore,
Seeing someone crossing the ocean
I saw him covered
I showed him the way to the cave,
The place where I did got blind for sometime
But my soul was purified, My arrogance got lowered.
