Poem - #12 | Feelings

A painting of a girl showing her feelings.

Feelings



I didn't want to do it
Or maybe I did,
It all started when I said that your post was lit,
And you commented that you were deeply grieved.

You said you were left to die
Under the unforgiving sky,
With no one to see you cry
And if let alone you would try -----
To leave this world and fly.

To fly far, far away from the wide-wide sky
But it was just another big lie.
I believed in you, tried to console you,
I said, "All will be well, a good life awaits you."

But you acted well and kept on bluffing
Saying the same four lines to Joe, Bill, John and Irving
That you were left to die
Under the unforgiving sky,
With no one to see you cry
And if you could you would try -----
To leave this world and fly.

But playing us was your aim,
Nothing more, nothing less, and you did nicely frame ------'
That you suffered, while others betrayed:
But never did you think what had you portrayed
When with the five of us you played.

And I didn't want to do it
But you forced me into it,
All I ever asked for was commitment
But you tossed my words out like an old sacrament
Let to the elements of nature to suffer and wither.

But I promise it won't happen again,
The four others may fall again into your dirty drain
But not me,
Not again.

And don't you dare harm Daisy
For what she said and showed was in no way false
Never had I thought of you being so phony,
If she had never showed me.
But getting too phony shows that you are a liar and it is you who is at loss.
Now remember that when you text me next and your limit
you cross,
So if I don't reply, please don't fuss.

I've believed enough in your truthful lies
And if it's your heart is where your love lies,
But there ain't no pickup line which will be fine
Even if you keep tryin'
Your whole life.

Thought - #1 |Who is God?

Who is God? Who in this diverse world of ours hasn't heard about Him, a greater power above us all, a Being known to many by an infinite names. A Creator in some religions, a Destroyer in others, an entity in some and a force, energy in others. The very notion of God comes the the everlasting but yet the most preliminary and fundamental question that our human mind has been able to conceive. Who made us? And thus the paradoxical answer follows; someone, God. Why paradoxical? Because if we exist then it follows that their must be a creator else nothing makes sense. Our very existence proves the existence of the One. Although this mind boggling topic, also one of the most controversial ones to be accurate, has been there since we achieved self-awareness the truth is that it may never be answered. Yet is that all? Do we only see God as our creator or is there something more to it, a latent truth buried deep within our minds. It is a fact that it is our very human ...

BLURB: As a child living in his family's apple orchard, Ahmad Torkash-Vand treasures his great-great-great-great grandfather's every mesmerizing word. On the day of his father's death, Ahmad listens closely as the seemingly immortal elder tells him the tale of a centuries-old family curse . . . and the boy's own fated role in the story.

R.J. Palacio Reads | Wonder

Thoughts On The Book R.J. Palacio in her book 'Wonder' has beautifully encaptured  the problems that a specially abled or simply put a disabled person, has to undergo and suffer. She also talks about how a person has to tolerate bullying in school and his feelings: she also discusses about the life of pets and the way inhumane humans mistreat them. Pets as she says is more than just an animal. All this thought provoking instances are talked about in one book. This book has really touched my heart because not only has the author discussed about such problems in our society but he has essentially engraved into our soul a different perspective of life. She tells us about the many ways in which a person can overcome such a situation and how a disability doesn't necessarily mean that everything is over. Storyline The whole story revolves around the life of a little boy named August Pullman who was inflicted with Mandibulofacial dystosis from birth. Also commonly...
