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.

Surmise

Let the night hypnotize you my friend.. and convince you that the day is your foe. Let darkness which is assumed to be the root of all fear.. show you that the unknown and the unseen will not harm you. Let it surmise that light is an illusion. Let it teach you... that as long as there is fear within you heart.... you will never break free. Darkness is the existence of the nonexistent. And light is the non-existence of the existent. Come close; let me whisper into your ear…. And I’ll tell you that light is truly the root of your fears Darkness is the marrow of non-existence.. And non-existence is freedom’s true essence.

Convenience

A genocide of flora and fauna. A Whale drifted ashore with its bowel pregnant with your single use plastics. NO. Not gory enough. Desensitised. It all seems distanced and far off. It's happening to them not to me. Not me. Not my family. Not my friends. The fine dust that chokes the airway of my child. The microplastic beads that stealthily makes their way into my bowels. The prickly heat stinging my once weatherproof melanin skin. The pesticides slowly poisoning you and me through the innocent consumption of our five a day. It all began with just a desire for a little bit more convenience. Our demand for convenience fills the pockets of greedy irresponsible capitalist. Hah! Always looking for the obvious culprit to take the blame. It's you. It's my family. It's my friends. It's us. We're all to blame. Our bottles of shampoo, our 9p shopping bags, our fast fashion. The binge. The great 'Renaissance' of Consumerism. A genocide of f...
