The Genius in YOU

It's been long since I've written


Imagination

Close your eyes

Free yourself from any troubles you might have now

Are you ready? Okay then,

Picture youself as a butterfly Floating on midair, perfectly fluttering your wings to the cool breeze, the warm sun, and the beautiful flowers beneath you. You struggled through the tight cocoon you once had wrapped around your fragile body. And now you have undergone metamorphic change.

As you fly around a small garden, you stumble upon a caterpillar, refusing to turn itself into a cocoon. It's afraid he might not see light anymore. So you, just coming from the wild ride, tell him,

"Fear is the only thing that hinders us from ever growing. Take chances, take risks, and in the end, it will all be worth it".

But the caterpillar refuses to listen. He says in reply,

"Who are you to tell me what I feel? I don't even know you!"

You, taken aback by his rude behavior, calm yourself. You take a deep breath and think this will all pass. So you resume your cool and say,

"I was once like you, Caterpillar, and now I'm a butterfly", the Caterpillar looks shocked for you saw his eyes amazed at what he heard. How could a squirmy little guy like him have wings as magnificent as that? You continue,

"Yes, I once was like you. But to have been a butterfly, I faced my fears. I was claustrophobic you know. But a wise man once told me, if I were to reach my goals in life, I should start with myself. I should be confident and brave", the Caterpillar is now silent, perhaps he is still digesting the words that have come off your mouth. He looks at you and you wait for his reply. But he uttered no words so you conclude, "My friend, take your anxieties and worries away. I can help you go through it if you want", you're smiling and he says,

"Okay, but please be there"

"Of course. I gave you my word, didn't I?"

And so the Caterpillar's journey began again, and he wove for himself the best cocoon that he can. You say a few good remarks and say goodbye to his Caterpillar self.

"I will see you again, but the next time I will, you will be a gracious butterfly"


You fly out and resume your own journey.



You can actually imagine more.

Take yourself to higher grounds.

As one genius once said,

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

That genius was Albert Einstein. Yes, he imagined. That made him human. But he imagined more, perhaps even to places you've never been to. That made him a genius. We can be geniuses in our own little ways too. We just have to imagine and believe. :)

Solitude

It's 2:47am and
I can't sleep
Knowing I'm all alone
Without her

In silence
I long for her
In the stillness
I wait for her
Her smooth lips,
Her tender kiss
The joy of being with her,
The sense of belongingness
But to be pulled away from her
--Agonizing thoughts

I'm in solitude
Detached from her loving arms
All alone in this dark night
Defenseless and unarmed
from the dangers of life
Without her
My life is nothing
It's blank

A life without her
is full of pain and misery
Without her
I fall into great sorrow
Tears keep falling down my face
And it won't stop
Knowing she won't be back
Ever

If I can’t die
Then the only thing left to do is live
I can only keep on living
But if I die now
My death will be meaningless
I'll regret it

Yesterday

I've wasted my last chance
To live
Now I'm here
In my last stand
My last breath

No one could save me
You don't even see I'm missing
So I don't want to care anymore
Because you don't

The only purpose of my life is you
Without your love
I'm dead

I'm an ex-corpse
I was dead even before

Living is no use to me
Yet I am here
Looking at you
In your room
Just staring
Then you start to move
You move with the guy
Beside you
Your lips still like before
I remember
When we were we

Now it seems that it was only yesterday
That we hugged
Now I know
You aren't faithful
You never were
And never will
That's why I ended my horrid life
To see if you saw
What I saw
And you didn't

In Silence

As the night falls upon my face
I see the curve around the bend
I feel the edge through my fingers
A knife in my hands
Cutting everyone I see
Nothing can stop me from ceasing all their lives

You can do a lot of things
In silence
You can feel more
In silence

I want to kill but I'm ready to die

I can feel those broken shards of glass
beneath me..
Painful,
but I feel more pain inside me
Will I ever heal?
The tears that drown my face
The bleeding cut in my throat
and the constant pain that's aggravating
As I kill
The innocent

I feel good enough
To see their blood that's going out
It's free unlike me
You've been here,
Inside me..
Controlling my every move
For almost a century now
That's why humanity is almost an endangered specie
You are like a rope around my back..
I try to fight back but still...

I hear silent cries
Silent murmurs and gasps for help
A lot are weeping In silence

Demon in Me

When I start cutting my own life
I see the damage
Penetrating in my skin
Like a bullet in flesh

Blood starts spraying
from my own body
But I feel good enough
To see the demon inside me..
The full moon is forming
Its brightness lights everything
I now hear the wolf's crying
And I see more red
Everywhere there's
Crimson red

I start to feel joy
Seeing people dying
Seeing people weeping

But I’m terrified
I am now the demon in me

Realm of Chaos

Grey clouds have mustered over this dark place
Raindrops falling in a faster pace
The ironic heat and the cold air
Fog that's been lingering here for so long
I scream for you
But you refuse to hear
My voice echoing over
the high walls that surround me
Trees silently sway beside me
Thorns growing out of their trunks
Hugging me until I scream no more
For your loveIn the shadows
I silently weep
For something I couldn't get--
Your love

For your heart is as black as mine
Sometimes ending your own life
Isn't the solution to ending your misery
But it could be an opportunity
to start life over again
In the next lifetime
I could kill and take your life
So you would come and sleep with me

I could cry and weep again
And be in sorrow
But I choose to take your life
To be with you

My Life Ends Here

I've been living for so long
That I haven't been able to count
--the years I've spent in this world
Many countless nights I prayed
For a miracle to happen
My tears filled with guilt and sorrow
And I want my life to end
To stop the pain inside me

Sometimes,
I spend all of my time
Trying to cut the veins in my wrist
But I fear that I'll see no light
And see only darkness
That fear prevents me
--from doing the best decision I could ever do

All of my hate pounding inside my bloody heart
The blood has flown out of my weak body
And is making it's way out in the open
To be free…
