  MY DEADLIEST SECRET To use another person’s body and ignore the soul that resides within is the most distasteful and disgusting crime that one can commit against another. He took me in He said he loved me or I maybe I thought he did I thought he cared, I thought I mattered to him His face glittering like the stars that appear at night A smile formed on his lips was as bright as the morning sun His eyes skimming through my body like the wind He promised he wouldn’t hurt me, I never believed he could He pulled me close His hand ran through my body I told him to stop I was crying within me He ripped my clothes apart Brought himself upon me I screamed I kicked him His ears were wide open but he wouldn’t hear my plea He held his hand over my mouth Tears were running down my face His body filled with lust and mine with torment He injected me with filth and dirt I feel dirty, I feel low, I feel used He stole my virginity without my consent I remember it like it w...

  A LOST BATTLE Dear Tinu, By the time you get this letter, I might be dead, probably dead. I gave up Tinu. I failed. I shouldn’t have given it all up,   I shouldn’t have stopped trying, I shouldn’t have,  I just shouldn’t have. The past few years have been the most challenging and trying years of my life. I’ve been trying to change. I’ve been trying to live a fulfilled life. I wanted a good life, not like the one I used to live. I wanted something better, something more meaningful. I wanted to correct my past, make amends and have a wonderful future. I wanted to make the best of my already damaged life. I wanted to be happy, I wanted to smile, I wanted to have nice people who will always be there for me. I also wanted to be there for someone, I wanted to be loved and accepted. I worked hard, I tried and I tried again. I tried to forget who I used to be. I tried to forget all the things have been through, I tried to forget everything. I tried to forget those years I’...

This has for a long time, rendered so many people visionless, terrible and ‘insane‘. I’m growing, we’re all growing, every day and every second brings us closer to our dreams or goals; that no matter how hard you want to guess what your future looks like, you end up curious, anxious, and almost frustrated. Some of us don't even have the slightest idea of where we are headed. I miss the excitement of having to see a lot of… that’s by the way. Anyway, I just want to communicate something very……. interesting and I mean the word very. I see a lot, a whole lot of people trying really hard just to meet up with so many “competitions” lately, especially since the whole pandemic happened, everyone is just trying to be particular about one or two things just to keep them busy. We all are trying to maintain our sanity and just build our ideas into something amazing and big, which is a very beautiful idea. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg once said: Ideas don’t come out fully formed except ...

Heart Calling I have made an open invitation to fear To the darkness creeping into my heart I could give in or maybe I couldn’t But I’m really hopeless and helpless at this end The courage in me has lost its flame I no longer have the strength to make it through the day Sadness came and swept me off my feet And emptiness would rather do a dance with me Agony has bluntly refused to leave. The feeling emerges Slowly at first Now a constant ache Releasing sobs of grief It spreads, enlarging, ravaging, consuming My heart pounding, shattering The breakpoint is reached I can endure no more I can further no more I can see no more. My strength is gone Gone to the world beyond I’m afraid and scared I long to be happy I long to be free I long to smile I long to have peace I long to be strong I want my life back I want to make it through this difficult time I want to be a survivor I want to look back and say yes I did it I know I can I ...

We can’t deny the fact that it’s impossible to share every minute detail in a relationship, but a certain level of transparency is needed. However, what if you find yourself in a situation wherein your partner is overly secretive? Being in a relationship with someone there are so many things to look out for, and keeping of secrets is one vital thing we should work on before it shatters everything you’ve built together. It is necessary that we trust our partner and try not to always sneak-peek on their stuffs but sometimes we can’t help it especially when we get some funny feelings about their attitude towards stuffs. I need us all to understand that once you make up your mind to spend the rest of your life with an individual, the person automatically becomes part of everything you get yourself involved with, we should not forget that sometimes we need our spaces too, everyone wants a moment of being alone and having stuffs done their own way and some people a...
