Void

You're awake and lying in bed for what seems like ages.

Your mind wanders aimlessly.

Blasted Beyond Belief (by Bhayanak Maut) plays in the background.

The room has become much warmer and you begin to sweat.

You hear a growl but this one isn't coming from BM's track.

You figured the source.It was your stomach.

Funny you had a hearty dinner and yet you're hungry.Again.

You look at the clock.Its 3.15 a.m.

You've turned into a nocturnal being,you think.

You give out a sigh and push your duvet aside.

With much dread you get out of bed and walk towards the door.

It is time to prowl and hunt.

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...

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 a...
