Problem

The problem in this world is that
People don't understand each other.

That creates barriers.
Separators.
Holding us back on our stance,
Stagnant, not moving,
Not even dare to peek,
What others have behind their barriers.

I could say that this stupidity, kills.
Curiosity builds.

Look what the world did to us?
It taught us to kill curiosity.
We're dying.

True

At one point in life, you'll have to be true to yourself. Why? Haven't you been truthful to yourself from the very beginning? No, you didn't. Now don't ask me why I'm 100% confidently stating this. We are all human. We live in societies. We live with others.

Tell me what phone are you using? What shoes are you wearing? Shirts? Pants? Watches? Are they comfortable? No? Are they expensive? Yes? Are they from well known, popular brands? Yes? See. You've lied to yourself. And what's with those makeups? Isn't your face beautiful enough till you have to cover it beneath those powders and colours? No! See, you don't even know that you've been lying to yourself! About the brands you're so loyal to, some of the products just suck, yet you defend them. You lied to yourself.

I've told you earlier, we live in societies. We live with others. Here is where everything starts. You want to live up to OTHERS' expectations!

Yes! This is the ultimate truth! Some things that you wear, that you own, you brought them because you really like them. Maybe because they're beautiful, the colours appealed to you most, and they're comfortable or ergonomic. They might be cheap, you might have never heard of their brands but you bought them because they fill your needs. This is where you're being truthful to yourself, when you're embarrassed to tell others about the price and names, this is where you're living in your lie. Is being true to ourselves is so shameful that we need to hide? Lying to yourself in order to be proud among others is like covering yourself in mud amidst the crowd and telling others how good it is the feeling of that particular act.

Imagine yourself so dirty, ironically you feel good about it (while inside you're dying to bathe).

So stop. Step out of it. That disgusting masks you're wearing. Show your true self. Be true to yourself, be true to others. If others hate you, find out what's wrong. Don't change yourself, improve.

Change me

We need to make more changes.
Try to see life through others' perspectives, their opinions about things.
Get out of the normal zone, be an alien sometimes. It's okay.

At the end of the day, you will tell yourself, "it's not so bad..."

And bring something new inside others' life.

Then climb back inside the normal zone. Change ordinary things to extraordinary or more than that.

Use the imagination and project vivid visions to cure the ill minded; full of corruptions.

Nobody ask you to be God, but follow the path of God; optimism and surprisingly life will turn out to be nothing you've ever thought.

Positivity.

Self: how to interact with other human beings.

As a human being, I myself was born into this world with feelings. This is our speciality, we can feel. Talking about your feelings, how do we relate it with our interaction with others? Some people are so unlucky they were born as bloody psychopaths who can't feel and judge things normally but we normal people do! So why on earth are there mindless, rude assholes who only think of themselves?

I've been facing this kind of animal, such hostility, all my life. Can't they think about others' feelings? What if I hurt you, garbage? What if I slit your pet's throat? What if I steal your things and leave you dumbfounded when you're in need of them?

I could do that. I could always do.

But I didn't! And why the fuck is that? Because this motherfucker here has empathy and sympathy and he knows what it feels like to be in such conditions. Are you waiting for something terrible to happen to you? You wanna see me set your house on fire?

I ain't no arsonist but you could try tempting me to do that. If you want.

Have you ever thought of what others would face as a result of your actions? When people buy things, with their own money, for their personal use, where they've been spending hours in the grocery counting and budgeting and then you took them (stuffs) like the world owed you tonnes. What kind of selfish fucks are you?

I am writing this to show my concerns about what happens in the society. There will always be a scumbag taking advantage on others. Our job is to give that motherfucker a lesson.

But we can't.

Why?
Because we have empathy! And we'd feel bad hurting others! That is why, I am stuck here today writing this stupid shit, hoping that ironman would save the world.

Now don't tell me to get a life.

Give me back
Mine.

A letter to Ellise

Dear Ellise,

I feel so bad.
So bad about myself.
I can't do shit.
Everything got me at fault.

They don't understand.

Can you help me, Ellise?
Take me somewhere nice?
I know you can't.
It's okay.

But maybe in a moment, you can,
Take, my heart, somewhere nice.
Shower it with the element, we lack,
And maybe I will
Be fine
Then.

Bye, Ellise .

Shelter

In his evening jacket, a man crouches
In the middle of the street,
While the rain pours.

Nobody knows why.

People pass by, holding umbrellas
They saw the man,
While the rain pours.

They all wonder why.

As the rain stops, a banged dog, uncovered beneath his jacket.
The right limb's broken, but it's alive.

He stood up, carries it to the sidewalk, and walked away.

Nobody knows the man
Neither they know the dog
Nobody knows why
But that evening, everybody saw

A human.

On the Edge

I lie on my bed, and sleep.
Then I wake up, go to school and go home.
I messed up, pretty bad, nobody knows, but it’s there.

This thing is too tight. I need to loosen it a little bit.
Soon I will be gone.
Soon enough I’ll be flying.

So let this closure be,
The best it could ever be,
The best thing ever happened to me.
So I hopped on the book stacks,
Remembering friends from college,
Remembering Ellise,
Reminiscing memories,
Replaying flashbacks, there is no turning back.

But this thing is too tight. I stepped down.
And down.
And sat down. The shirt is all wet.

I lie on my bed, and sleep.
I wake up, go to school and go home.

I messed up, pretty bad, nobody knows, but it’s there. 

In Me.
