But, why?

 October 23rd, 2021

I wrote this for a lover just a while ago. Well, I am the lover here. But, this is not just for a human being. It's for life, success, happiness and dreams. They are never enough. There's always something missing
But, why?

At times, you know exactly what to do to get something you have been yearning for. Yet, you don't. I don't. It pricks me in various parts of my body, but I still don't do it. Why? I don't know. I believe that's where the difference comes between an average being and a successful being. That's my definition of successful. To be able to do something exactly how you want without excuses of any sort. Unfortunately, I carry around an unfillable basket of excuses. Every excuse just enters into the darkness in the center and following some circular path stands right in front of my face again. Now I see. Infinity makes perfect sense. A horizontal eight. Everything will come back to you. Just like my excuses do.  

I hope, I wish, I dream, but I don't do.
So I fail 
And I blame the universe
Human tendency 
So to say

The Joke is on "You"

How do I go about solving a conflict, wherein the heart is too brittle to endure loneliness and the ego is too engorged to ask for help. My heart, a desperate lover seeking reassurance on an hourly basis, and the ego, a thick skinned imbecile never allowing the heart its bravery. If only she could shove him to the edge of my body, and deep dive into the infinite possibilities the world has to offer.  So, the three of us, stuck together as an incompetent team, push and pull one another with our own prerequisites and the desired outcomes. The result? An evergreen jungle of emotions, a suspicious view of the world, and an undying need to escape.  But, what if. Just, what if. The three of us walked in unison toward a common goal. What could be the resultant of this minor escapade? Nearly revolutionary. In the face of failure however, all three of us would wish to disappear from the face of earth with an agreed upon timing to quit the game.  Until then, the bickering, the dile...

9:9:9- Cosmic Code of Change

 9th September, The last working day of my short, barely existent corporate life. I blinked, it began, I blinked, it ended. A decision of my own, defying expectations, recommendations and opinions of most. The purpose of this resignation in rebellion, out of passion, and hidden desires. Let me cease to exist in this social realm of the human race. I need not give explanations, I need not give answers, I need not reason others. I have reasoned, answered and explained myself. That is enough. Although seemingly in sync to parental expectations, the very reasoning of the act is in opposition too. I feel the famous "Me against the World". I have absolutely no regrets, although my sanity and impulsivity is questionable, I know I am right. Not to be too egoistic, but I feel spiritually backed up, even if my fellow humans say this is an act of stupidity. I feel it in my gut, the pulsing of navel, and the throbbing heartbeat.  (Very ironicaly, AC/DC's thunderstruck is playing in t...

My heart reaches out to my intestines in an attempt to twist them upside down. My brain stops as it concentrates on the changing position of the organ that it so meticulously wishes to drive. Then there is not a trifle of my mind left to be utilized. Closing my eyes, I picture drifting shapes of my insides as I am looked top to down by the world. What for? For my dumbness, for my uselessness and for my inability to succeed. A departed body walking around with a highly capable brain, that is being wasted away to the sensation of the twisting intestines. Every time I try, I trip on my own expectations. Then I lie on the floor pretending that this was a choice I made, as rivers of failures flow down my face. I continue laying as my heart successfully manages to damage my intestines. I continue laying as connoisseurs comment on my distasteful act of falling. Which probably occurred due to my unintelligent brain. I don't know what pains me more, my own expectations or being deemed as du...
