Demons (vol II)



. . .



A question to you

To the demon that stays in my head

To the letter I wrote to which I never gave an end

To the book that gave me hope in dead

To the pessimism that baked my day red

And I said,

" Do you love me enough to have stayed this long inside my head?"

The book, the letter, the pessimism then fell quiet,

They got tired from my constant need  to clarify.

But my demon chuckled and gave a cry,

"You are a cathedral of hope that is dead,

And you would rather burn yourself red

Than change your locks and be fed 

With Love, the only medicine to your sad."

And I think that

My demon loves me more , (my bad)

With a teary glare and a little courage that I always lacked,

I whispered to my demons,

" You have my permission not to ever love me back."

life taking me

  I was too afraid (or maybe too conscious) to take my life, so I let life take me, piece by piece, part by part. Now this may sound totally a hypothetical emotional philosophy but if u know me , like if u ‘know’ know me for more than few years now and you know exactly how much the significance of thought spiral is then you know it’s not just a bleak philosophy , it has physical practical causes : ) And I will never share the pain because I don’t feel it anymore; I feel it’s absorbed around my walls and that this   pain is all mine not yours, maybe suffering is mutually ours. I read it somewhere people who suppress pain and anger are more prone to diseases because by suppressing it they train the body to hide their symptoms too, which I feel is quite true. And the inverse is also true. When you don’t hide away your pain , when you get angry, get sad more often than your body also starts showing the same pathetic courage, of being brave in being sad , as you do.   Yo...

Whelve

Whelve to bury something deep inside; to hide. the 'He'  (once wanted to say)   "I wish I wrote the way I thought; Obsessively, Incessantly, With maddening hunger.                                                              I'd write myself into nervous breakdowns, Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing. And I'd write about you a lot more than I should."   I'd write to the point of  suffocation.  -Benedict Smith,        "l want to be a mystery, yet be known I want to be together, yet alone Is it too much to ask, to be famous yet unknown? To be a wanderer, yet have a home?" -Kara Douglas "they say lavender softens anxiety  and i wonder whether i can plant a garden   so dense in your mind that the knots in your chest unravel  and never tighten aga...

Love it is, but

  I read somewhere the act of peeling oranges for someone is considered love. I had mixed thoughts about it. I wondered if it was an excuse for not taking care of yourself or if it was being loved. I knew it was love, I guess it was love. But then I thought it was something the social media was feeding our system. A narrative being started to cause tension in relationships that were, before, perfectly fine. I couldn’t deny that it was an act of love, but I couldn’t justify why one needs to feel that. I am away from my home state in another state. People speak a different language and the whole premise of my life has just shifted. Away from people I love, away from people who love me. I knew, before I came here, that I needed to love and care for myself more this time because people who could care for me or fill my part weren’t here. Self-Love. Taking care of yourself. These days my city is burning, hotter than ever. Heat waves and everything. So, to fight that I bought my favou...
