Long time, no see.

It was a long time away from here. I used this time to build my literary skills. Sometimes it is hard to get out of your comfort zone, but it is totally worth it. I guess, it's never easy to try something new. Some people like to try new things, unknown things and some are terrified.
I am the "terrified type". However, I don't want to stay in the same place forever. I want to go further, be a better writer. Lately my life wasn't very easy. I have been struggling a lot on many areas of life. In this case the best what a writer can do is to create an art, put emotions, feelings and struggling on the piece of paper. It's like the Hemingway once wrote:
"There is no such thing as writing. You just sit in front of your typing machine and bleed." This is what every writer should do being in a dark place, just sit and bleed. Lately I was bleeding a little, so I took a piece of paper and a pen. I started to bleed everything out. Few people already saw a result of my bleeding and they liked it. I felt relief. A piece of art has been created. I want to share this with all of you. The result of my bleeding is a poem. Right here, from my soul:
“The Crossroad”
We used to be alone,
Without knowing each other.
The road was lonely,
We thought, it will always be this way.
I saw you like a light in the dark alley,
Hope returned that I met my life companion.
For some time, we were a light to each other.
We walked one way together.
We encountered a crossroad,
The light was getting weaker.
We knew, we have to say goodbye.
Now I am my own life companion.
Please go and follow your dream.
Don’t look at me,
Even if it hurts.
Life is brutal sometimes.
