I Am (Not)

Sometimes I am calm
like the first ray of sunlight
at dawn
shimmering upon the sea.

And sometimes, when I am not
I am  
a raging tempest
tearing shores apart
I am an earthquake 
still and cold
as I watch them crumble to dust
I am the devouring fire
from a dragon's breath
searing the night, and
lighting up the sky 
- a burning red.

I am the burn 
that lingers in your eyes
when you wake up 
from crying yourself to sleep;
The throbbing pain
in your head
from losing count
of Jamesons you drowned in.

Sometimes I am calm
but sometimes,
when I'm not -

nessun dorma.

You

You told me You could see galaxies spiraling in my eyes that I was the silver trail of moonlight in your darkest night. I tore my walls down and grew a garden that bloomed into vivid colours so we could dance among the flowers. Heaven once felt so seamless until it began to crack and all the stars we counted faded into black. It's funny how when you're sprawled helplessly on the ground gasping for air the deafening silence sets in; you can hear your heart shatter and your soul dissolves into the bloody red mess that is you.

Looking Back: 2014

It's kinda funny when I look back on all my previous New Year posts. I'd list things that I would do throughout the year, and then live another 12 months to realise that I failed miserably again and again. So yeah, well, no more resolutions this time. 2014 was one of its kind, a simple and uneventful one. It wasn't phenomenal or fun-filled; but it wasn't all dark and depressing either. It came all too fast, and now it's gone in a blink. A few things to remember and to be thankful for: 1307 G13 - Peepul I have honestly never been in a class with people who are so different from each other, and I slowly came to appreciate how even though we're different, we stuck together from the beginning to the end. That alone, is amazing. Put the oddest bunch of kids together for a year and a half, I promise you'll be surprised. Also not to mention, Langkawi Class Trip!!!
