phone call(s)


A wintry morning, oh how
It’s snowy outside, here I am
Making coffee for myself
While I keep on yawning as
I know I am up much earlier
Than usual, and I hastily
Glance at the wall clock
The one my parents gifted
The one you never liked
And the one I dearly kept
And I see that it’s almost
Passed four in the morning
And there it goes again
My phone rings again,
For the hundredth time
Within a span of four years
Or so I think it has been,
And I start to wonder why
This cursed phone still rings
At such odd and early hours
Since I plainly remember
The last time we spoke
I cried and we cried
And I yelled at you and
I told you loud and clear
We are through forever
That I’ve rightly moved on
There was no me and you
Not now and not ever and
I told you to hang up as
There wasn’t anything left
More to say now, and nothing
To add to our final words
Nothing to share any longer
Nothing I don’t already know
Because although I figured
You haven’t been around
It is clear to me that you
Are up to the same old
Shenanigans and I am gone
Now, out of your life and
Almost out of your mind, so
I know this is you calling me
To ask me how I have been
To even check if I will be okay
But for the umpteenth time
And for the last time I’ll say
“I’m okay, and I’ll be okay,
It’s time for you to hang up.”

annihilation,humiliation

Here it comes,
Red, yellow, green
The screeching tires
An endless scurry
A clenched fist,
Sweaty palms,
Gritting teeth,
Walk faster now
Run, if you must

Eyes on you
Don’t sweat it
Breathe in again
Don’t mutter
Purse those lips
Hands hidden
Walk upright
Don’t fidget
Run, if you must

The numbness
Will soon subside
Rub hands together
Feel the friction
The mounting heat
Adjust the weapon
Don’t let it protrude
Keep it hidden
Run, if you must

Stay calm now
Clean that face
Purge red stains
Wash everything
And in your bed,
Don’t twist and turn
Don’t harp on it
Close your eyes
Kill, if you must

catharsis

Look into these eyes 
Hold that gaze
Kill the space
Don’t nurture it,
Let it burn now, let it die

Breathe now, let it slide
Don’t defy magic
Don’t look away
Hold on tighter
Your wrath will be mine

This touch feels cold
Almost distant
Strange guilt in the eyes
Sudden knowledge 
Heavy pain, a heavy sigh

The sky changes color  
Look at me again
The nightingales, they cry
Look at me again
And the storm rages on  


train

A faint smell of your perfume
Lingers, and only seconds
Have passed since you
Walked to the other side
Of this long stretch of road
And I am here standing still,
Mulling over my tragic
Past, and my dreary present,
Comparing both to and fro,
Reflecting on the mistake I made,
The misunderstandings I had,
Feeling foolish all the same and
Knowing I am mistaken yet again,
For leading myself to longing for more
An incessant childish longing for
This untouched but not
completely unfelt experience,
So I find myself eagerly
Waiting for my train to come
The train I missed on
So many occasions and the train
I should have chosen a long time ago
The train I set my eyes on
Some few decades before,
A train I knew I should have
Picked in the blink of an eye
And I know it could have been a journey
I would have thoroughly enjoyed and
Now I call it my one way train
And I know I call it rightly so
And I can see from a distance
A faint glimpse of this train now
And I know in my heart that
It will willingly take me back
To places I have never seen
Before, and I am guiltily aware
Of the feeling that it can make me
Love things I have never liked before
Where all the world’s burden
Won’t weigh an ounce anymore
Where everything I’ve seen
Won’t feel so huge anymore
But today I knew,
It was goodbye

what i really want

I want to write without (subconsciously?) exaggerating what happened/never happened/what I felt/never felt/what I saw/what I never saw. I want to be able to express my feelings and thoughts exactly the way I feel and think. I don't want any complications and confusions in my writing; it would only hinder the process of getting to know myself. If I can't write the facts of my own life, I see no point of starting this blog. There has to be honesty in my own writing. This kind of honesty  requires a very coherent thought process and an impeccable amount of self awareness and acceptance. And guts. It won't be easy and I'm already nervous; afraid of what I truth I may stumble upon. But I am equally curious. I have always had a very curious nature. I am sure I have been keeping secrets from myself, and the only way to get through to myself is by editing nothing. At the end of the day, I would like to be able to accept my own truth for what it is and keep my calm no matter what I may find myself writing about. I want to take control of how I write what I see, think and feel. I want the truth.

So what's the truth and what's the truth?

first post

Hi world,
This is my first post. After a lot of thought, i decided to create a blog. I hope to write some (non)sense and help my self get to know myself better. One of the many things in life I am yet to understand.
