Rainbow

-

 

The rain brought forth the rainbow,

My clouds brought me something else,

A mountain

And asked me if I intend to climb?

Whichever direction I look, it’s you looking back at me, daring me to follow, encouraging me to take a step, can I?

With the scars of the past, I hesitate, I ponder whether it is worth it, or will I just be ruining another life. So, I throw myself, in the dark, hoping that when the lights come back on, you are in my arms.

I have been looking up to you, convincing myself that I cannot compete, I should let go and crawl back to where I came from. But again, I am tired of remaining into the void. I finally started feeling alive, my heart started beating once more. I want to call out within you, get you to look at me for this once, this one time, and not see the actual trash but the soul I have left.

Can you?

I took a hesitant step,

You pulled me in.

In a tragic fashion, I wrapped myself in your madness and let myself go into your magic. I was never enough to swim into this sea, slowly you have been teaching me to swim…and now I wish to dive.

I will dive within, reach the endless pit, and drown myself in your grasp. I will show you Melancholies, I want you to know me, the real me. I do not wish to pollute you, but I am sorry, I could not keep away.

Friends

Ever felt lonely in a crowded room? It is normal to be so, you are after all one in billions of human living on this Earth yet you are unique. So you surround yourself with people with the label ‘friends’ to have a semblance of happiness. But some are fake Some are fucked up Some are inexistent But yet , some are close to the heart. They cannot always be present for you, because just like you are struggling to take a breath each waking hour, did you stop to ask them if they are breathing fine? Selfish aren’t we? At your lowest point, look back at who gave you a shoulder to cry on, or simply a pat on the back to for you to take another step. I do not wish to dictate to you how to live your life, I just want to drag your focus to the point above. Think about it, and then consider how you should approach life. Thank you to the ones who I consider friends and family.

Phobia

 He was plagued by innocence in his daily life. Fun, friends and school, that is all he knew. Life was just a carousel of pleasures, the island offered more to him that he could enjoy. Mortality was just a faraway speck of dust in his mind, for again, he was as naive as children were. Life went on, he constructed a facade for himself, an unconscious shield to the harshness of this world which we call home. He had a guide in life, one that did not ever let go of his frail hands. The almighty shone light on his path, and he pursued this light with fervour, always feeling like he owe these invisible powers something for the positive turns of his life. Yet the embers of his life quickly died out, realisation hit him, life showed its real nasty colors.  His guide and model figure ascended the heavens, he was left alone trodding in the darkness. Everything was sudden, his dreams plummeted faster than everything else.  He woke up to a happy morning, and came home to find t...

The Chemist

-
  We all had dreams when growing up, some dreamt of becoming pilots, other astronauts. The rollercoaster of life caused some of us to become chemists, whether by choice or not. Chained to their laboratory, experimenting, and forfeiting sobriety. They play the chemist with dull knives till they are on the floor hitting the ceiling and falling off the cliff, tiptoeing in the void, leaving behind a broken Lego house. Staring from the deepest of the deep end up to the world that others live in, searching for the sun but they meet only with unnatural lights that burn their skins to their bone, sharing their ‘sins’ for the people above to point at. They chained themselves consuming their chemistry, till it’s the latter that is consuming them and dictating their moves. We fight off oppression, looking for independence and freedom but we put to the side those that are oppressed by their alter ego, addiction. Should we not extend a hand to help? The society we live in taught us to t...
