To write or not to write.

So here I am again after a long time.Haven't written or post anything on this blog lately except for the previous poem of course, as I had nothing much to say really. These days I pretty much keep my thoughts to myself,I don't even write them down in my diary anymore.Writing had always been therapeutic, I guess its the same with everyone.

Watched an interview of Paulo Coelho yesterday.He is the author of The Alchemist,Veronika Decides to Die,The Zahir and a few more other books. As I'm quite a sucker for metaphors and symbolism like writings, it wouldn't be a surprise he is one of my favorite authors. So there was this one instance during the interview where he mentioned that he wrote for no one but himself.

It got me thinking about myself.Of why i had stopped writing when i still had that constant flow of thoughts and ideas in my head.Am i being self-concious? Afraid of what people might think about what I have to say?Or am i afraid that people might just think of me as a fool?

I don't know.

But one thing I sure do know is that he is right.One should write for oneself.It might bring clarity to the clutter in ones head.My writing could reflect back whats lurking in my subconscious.So I guess I'l start writing again.

Ann

She cried again last night. As usual I had nothing to say but pat her to sleep. Almost two and a half years of continued weeping at night. Shouldering the burden of soothing a 7-year-old, what wisdom does a 10-year-old have to bring it to a stop. Lying next to me, sharing a single bed “Akka, where is mommy?”, the same question asked repeatedly, drowned only by the whir of the fan keeping us cool on  sweltering summer nights.   Looking at her this morning, you would never know the existence of her nightly griefs. Grandma held her hand whilst we both waited for our 6 a.m. school bus. Her short curly hair, dark blue primary pinafore, white shoes, slouching under the weight of her school bag pregnant with heavy textbooks, she looks so ordinary. Or maybe not, we both were unusually skinny and scrawny. Something we have constantly been made fun of at school; a few more years later down the line when we both approached puberty the bullying is only made worse for being flat ches...

Death is earthly.

Six feet under, Tear stained soil, White lilies, A requiem mass. Carpet of grass, Pregnant clouds, A gentle drizzle, Footsteps fading, Branches swaying. Tranquil. Misted with sympathy, The breeze sighs patiently, The songbird sings a glum melody, "Memento mori, memento mori." "Death is the end of your story." Many a dawn, Many a dusk, Daisies pushed, A banquet of maggots, A feast of flesh, Stripped to bones, Naked. The earth nourished, The earth flourished. Death is mercy. Death is earthly. For dust thou art, Unto dust thou shalt return. GrymmRipper. :]

Logic. Devoid of logic.

Your hands, they reach out. With no doubt, into empty space. Grab. Clench. Your fists, bring them close, place them under arrest. Close to your chest. Be at rest. Unclench. Stare! You stare, at empty palms. Cold, blue empty palms. Nothing! You've grasped nothing! Cold blue palms. They grasp nothing. A mind devoid of logic. You're bruised. You're abused, by its frolics.
