"STORY OF A GARDEN "

Hello visitors! I am one of those many mighty and beautiful gardens that every fairy tale has, I am situated in the very centre of the metropolis. Since the first day of my creation till today, I've witnessed countless happy and sad moments, countless people with varying faces, few of them very remarkable and few I wish I'd never had been visited by. Years passed by and more new memories born, many happy and so many sad ones, peachy flawless faces of the children I loved grew old and weary, covered with moustaches and the tiredness of the mundane works. In all of it, I just realize that time has changed a lot...lot more than I could've ever imagined.

Once, I was nothing but an uncoveted wild land, I was filled with wilderness and sheltered numerous unfriendly plants and animals, some were slow and lazy, some very agile and active, some quite adorable, some strong and aggressive...so many of them were within my bounds. That surely wasn't a bad time for me, I felt a great sense of freedom and everyday was meant to be an unknown adventure ,I loved the way I was natural and was completely myself. All those are in the past now, soon I was discovered by people and although they adored me, they couldn't completely accept the way I was...wild and uncultured. They planned and built me in a way they could accept more, regardless of how I felt, I didn't mind that much though... they cleared the wilderness and so with that, I lost my companions and they lost their shelter . I felt ***** ,barren and lonesome too.

Humans, they came to me when in need and I happily provided them, they grew to know me better and better, day by day this went on smoothly and one day they all came back with large machines are tore out my body, cleared up the trees and shaped in a way they wanted. It hurt, but I wasn't too aggrieved as I thought they knew me better than I do, I let them do what they wanted, they confined me with solid walls and more than half of me, were for their houses...thus how I became a little garden. Although I'm happy as a garden too, my recent times have been extremely lonely.

Creating me as beautifully as they wished to, like in a fairy tale, but seldom do they know all those fairy tales ends up in the happiest moments and the real journey is far ahead, still unknown...Some ends up as happily as before and some totally devastated. As for me, I'm neither of them, still trying to figure out the changes the world offers every passing day. Thriving without those long forgotten emotions and yet sensing their impacts upon me, my existence is an utter dilemma. I doubt my survival, I am unable to trust, unable to hope, unable to expect as after all it's all going to hurt only me when they get broken. Be not as too hopeless as I am, my last humble words.
