The World at Large

-
  The descending sun spooks me, As it reminds me of impending doom. The fate of the world hanging on  the joker wearing the crown. A game of deceit and endless conspiracies, Rigged to make the hidden emerge strong. ‘Come one come all’ The sign bellows. Not one peasant decided to enjoy the menu. They are sinking to fall in their own broken ship. All towing to head into the dark abyss. We enjoy playing the game when it is, Someone else who’s head will twirl if they miss. But when the trigger loads and the target is us. When the bullet wants to grab hold on us. We run so far, without a hitch. We run to never stop to check. What happened to those who tried to save us? What happened to the joker who longs for love? What happened to the magician, is he still sick? The old man, next door, did he get his tip? The world of our species amuses me. To see the world move by so cheap. The moon is now out. It winks at me. The stars shining bright following me. The world beyond our species, Fascinates

I would

If I could show you all the hidden beauty,
That you hide from yourself, I would.

If I could show you how your words changed the lives,
Of people going through pain and strife,
I would.

If I could show you the enchantress hidden within you, gliding with magic and life, I would.

If I could ever tell you of all the time you held yourself together, like breaking glass from a vase desperately hanging together.

If I could ever show you the kaleidoscope within you, blooming colours and flowers wherever you set foot.

And if I could show you the world within you, believe me, I truly, truly would.

MOM..

No words can describe how much you mean to me. Because I know that no matter how much I write I will still not be able to measure up anywhere close to where you stand. From listening to my endless theories of stupidity to patiently hearing my vexed out thoughts, you do it all! You give me advice when you know I'm scared I've messed up. You give me a chance to speak out even when you don't need to. I have annoyed you endlessly for 14 whole years by doing everything possible to push your buttons and even after all that you still laugh with me, you still play with me, you still make fun of me... To me, you are everything I've known. You have been my rock on days where I feared I'd hit rock bottom, you have been there to wipe my tears and give me a hug. You have put me to sleep on days where monsters and nightmares kept me awake. Thank you ma, thank you for everything! I call you silly names, you do the same. You are my forever 16-year old best friend and I'm so luc

Online Classes: A place of atrocious antics. There is no other feeling compared to you stuffing down your breakfast because you don't want to be that person eating in front of everyone. The pride in showing off your latest additions to your room is like an expo of its own, making sure that your morning drink souvenir is facing the camera and the quote is 100% legible, unlike your notes. And of course, how could I forget about the fashionistas, "Zara today, GAP tomorrow", overall their roll call itself is like a fashion ramp-walk. And then, there is my batch, the note-writers (a fancier word for 'nerds'), we have our hand up for every question , there is nothing like the feeling of being right, a satisfaction like no other. We strive to hear the words "Good Job!", from the teacher and when we do, get ready...we will be over the moon! If I speak about the nerds then I have to speak about our opposite, "the cool ones", remember the ones wearing su
