Question on this Blog’s Future

I hope that all of you are doing well? If you aren’t, and want someone to talk to, I’m all ears.

I took a break from writing, since my thoughts were going to dark places. I am thinking of using this blog to post more gritty, and perhaps disturbing, stories and poems, mostly from my imagination. I think it should be a way of communicating with my darker side, which is hiding away in here somewhere. What do you think?

If there’s a God, He seems to be bent on destroying me. If there isn’t a God, existence is pointless. Maybe I’m just bitter. I don’t know. Maybe it’s pointless to fight it. They’re slowly killing me. Maybe I’m possessed by a demon. If I can’t even trust my reality then what’s the point in living? If I can trust my reality then why isn’t He fucking doing something to save my family? Pointless suffering part of His grand plan? Let them win. This world belongs to the cruel. I don’t know when I’ll write again. I’m not going to kill myself, but I’m not going to try to save myself either. I don’t give a fuck about anything any more. Bye.

Spirit Cry

severe depression hurls my spirit

to the clouds

i am trapped and powerless

Spirits heed my cry and gather

come wind, come fire, come rain

Come river, come mountain, come stream

Death comes as well when I call

don’t ask me why I named him

i don’t know

they want to clarify our relationship

i tell them we are friends

is this mere delusion?

it feels so real

i want to call the ocean

but she is already here

am I just going crazy?

Meaningless Failure

i am listening to Journey

while I produce sonnets

like a damn factory

churning them out;

my life has no meaning

But I am happy for the time being;

‘don’t stop… Believing ‘…

why do they pause

before ‘believing?’

just for the rhythm

or is there some deep meaning

hidden?

my sister called and cried,

she thinks she’s a failure;

her company was downsizing

and axed her;

i am happy she’s coming back home

and I think she’ll be happier too;

she’s not a failure

but I can’t make her listen;

it is ironic that I

who have lived in near solitude

for half a decade

can’t shut my own mouth

when I’m forced to be in company,

and she

living out there

hesitates to say to a stranger

‘Hey there.’

This post needs metaphors

to turn it into a poem…

my life has done a 360

from failure to failure

a cycle of nothingness

meaningless

existence

but I am happy

while writing my series of sonnets

About the mighty Kar-Tikan

(Hope you all had a good day… It has been a quiet one for me… And I am super bored.)

Questions to Ponder on Tonight

Do I keep posting my confessional poetry?

it can backfire on me big time, but it also opens up new avenues of help and understanding. Maybe it can resonate with someone, giving comfort, or it might attract advice from someone who has gone through it. Sometimes, a kind word is all it takes. But just one bad guy can send me spiralling to bad places. I let go of power and control when I post this kind of poetry. I no longer have my shield up. This can be very dangerous. I don’t know any more…

This whole writing thing might be a purposeless exercise, in which case I am doing something very idiotic by revealing my life to others. But what else do I have? Why do I need to have anything? Writing shouldn’t be the entire meaning of my life. But writing helps me grow… Aaaah! Too many questions… Tomorrow, some deep meditation on all of this. Good night, my five subscribers.

Wings

I was once a mighty dragon
But my wings had not yet grown
Slain dead before I could have flown
Now I’m a little humming bird
Darting everywhere, there, here
I still dream my dragon dreams
While flitting over lakes and streams
Oh, to just be happy with my lot
And enjoy my flight with what I’ve got

Fated to Grieve

I notice

The Universe

Trying to push me

In one direction :-

Grief!

I’ve noticed

About a dozen different events

Lately

That remind me

Of my loss

What does it hope to achieve

After more than a decade

Of acceptance?

Is he up there somewhere

Reminding me

Not to forget him?

I blink back tears
