Out of the Labyrinth

How did we end up here? It was just supposed to be a simple walk in the park, no complications. But what happened? I ended up battling dragons and deadly giant vines filled with thorns. I was so lost, and felt like giving up. It’s just too damn hard to face all these alone. I needed an escape plan. I was in the verge of drowning in my own sorrows and puddle of tears. The endless darkness is just too hard to bear with no silver lining in sight.

My only assurance is the branch that I've been holding tight. Little did I know that it wasn't a branch, I was over occupied with the things I thought was in front of me and too scared to open my eyes. I started to let go of the said branch, but it wouldn't budge off my hand. Instead I heard a voice that told me to hold on a little longer and asked to open my eyes. And when I finally did, I realized it was you all along! And I've gotten everything wrong.

The fear got the most of me to know that the dragon wasn't a beast that should be feared. The dragon who kept us warm the whole time and it was also him that was lighting our way to the end of the labyrinth. And the vines weren't all that bad, they have thorns, yes. But they also have the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen in my entire life. And they've been the silver lining I needed. That even the deadliest thorns have goodness in them.

Now that I have opened my eyes, I can see everything clearly. No more doubts, just a heart full of love and happiness. And I know that this will be worth all the risks in the world, with you by my side I can be my own superhero and we can rule the world.
