Captivity

Captivity is being in a box that has been taped shut and placed hundreds of miles into desert lands, forgotten and never found.  Imprisoned in a world filled with black.  Confined to a barren and uncultivated land.  Finding that one blue door with a knob, screws, henge's, and a small glass window.  Now wipe that window and what do you see?  Through this window you see something familiar, something you have always imagined and sought to find, but an object that you refused to engage or partake with.  In this window looking back through the other side is a human-being.  A creature just like you, a beautiful, civilized, biped, animal that had represented you.  The only difference was the biggest and most important detail that few could have ever depicted.  Over the left shoulder of this being was a sign that said "ONE WAY", and past that sign you see the colors blue, green, purple, brown, red, and so forth.  You notice the very fine details of what you thought you recognized as grass, the sky on a sunny day filled with clouds, homes, families enjoying their lives, and everyday life moving with a very fast pace.  Over his right shoulder you could see a timeline of some sort.  Every minute the images that were so lively at one point would change and change.  The first thing you see is a basketball bouncing itself on a court with no one playing, as if there was a invisible person, shooting around.  As the image faded left over the beings head and into the clouds on the left, another live portrait flowed right into cue for the next visual that your orbital sockets were preparing to witness.  As the image assembled it's pieces together you can see a house, with a pretty front and back lawn, and a well kept build of its original creation.  In front of the home you see a family, a mother, father, son, all waving at something or someone.  Strangest part was it wasn't a hello or a goodbye type of wave it was a welcoming wave.  Like they were trying to get someones attention or call someone.  As the image start to fade and move on a girl walks into the scene.  Short, ecstatic, cute, fervent, and so much more.  She came towards the creature who seemed so alienated from the world, as she placed her hand upon his shoulder the creature turned his head to greet her.  Words were exchanged and she blissfully turned and walked off towards the family that seemed to treat her with acceptance.  As much interest as these images had that past by, came and gone, they didn't hold you attention for to long.  Your eyes wondered back to this human that was standing in the same window that you were looking.  For the events, obstacles, and things that could never be explained in this world this was one of them.  The face in front of you that you were looking into was blurred.  But as you turned your head you noticed something a glare and strange light that glowed so bright.  As you turned your head towards this object you recognized a mirror, a cheval glass, something that reflected an image.  As bewildered as you seemed you noticed yourself, you notice that the creature who was standing in your way, who was blocking the full view through the window was you.  Then the pieces started to fall into place, the blue door with a knob, screws, henge's, a small glass window, the "ONE WAY" sign, the life of people over the creatures left shoulder, the images of the creatures life over the right shoulder was yours.  The door that supposedly had a knob, screws, henge's, and a small glass window was made to open one way, the side you weren't on.  This is what Captivity really is, this is the box that has been taped shut and placed hundreds of miles into desert lands and forgotten.  That has a door with a see through window, but can never be opened..............

It's not all about YOU!

Who gave you the right to make the decicisions?  What did you ever do for me?  When did you ever save me from anything?  Where does time ever go when you need it the most? Why is it that I have to make some of the hardest choices ever?  How do you know when you made the right choice?
