ANOREXIA NERVOSA

-
Image
It's fashion week and models are strutting down the catwalk, dressed in clothing with prices that are enough to buy a house. Sure the clothes certainly are eye-catching but the body of the models is attention-grabbing. They are stick-thin, I mean, the kind of thin that is painful to look at, yet this is a prevalent problem in the fashion industry; Anorexia Nervosa. Even Twiggy looks better than these models. Anorexia Nervosa is a "charming" mental disorder that causes its victims to stop eating or eat very little amounts of food in order to lose weight or to stop weight gain. Plus, this mental disorder shows itself in the form of an eating disorder and over 16 million people worldwide have these disorder, with a lot of health problems like infertility, dental damage, hair loss, organ damage and in extreme cases; death, usually caused by organ failure and heart attacks. (Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of all mental disorders). In the fashion world, a...

WORTHY OF HATE

-
Image
As stubborn as stale As painful as a nark Of all your loin's fruit The worst is who I am I caused all your pain I taint your celebration  Whether it's tears or yell I'll make sure you have something  You gave me your love You showered me with care All the affection one needs I lacked none as your child Why didn't you rip my heart  Why wouldn't you crush my brains  That grudge should be your right For I deserve worse than that  I regret my wicked acts I wish I never did any The regrets are no penance For they won't pay the price  I'm worthy of hate The most cynical of them I'm worthy of hate The hate that equates your love

FINDING LOVE

-
Image
I search for eyes that cover me I seek peculiar attention from another A wink that follows a smile at me I wish for two welcoming hands The ones that are always open to me Hands that would pat and wipe I desire a vacant shoulder Be it broad or not I only just want to rest on it I want to share my bitterness I want compassion for my woes The feet to pour grief, I seek Laughter shouldn't seize with thee Fun to fun would be our stay And our confession of affection everyday I crave for a friend I may never have A companion to comfort my heart I sought for love, and have not found.

THOUGH I REGRET

-
Image
I cry of despair I regret all my actions  I sin against myself  I offend creations And I failed to obey the creator  His command I disobey  His forbidden I adore  I swim in dirty pool Though I regret.  I go back again  Again, again and again....  I'm losing hope of forgiveness  How many times have I sought forgiveness  Yet I go back to the crime.  I've always wanted to be good, not mundane; Worst of them I am Though I regret.  It's very bad and I hate it I keep going back but I hate it  Had sin had odour No living being would survive sitting next to me  I am an adamant sinner  I tell myself: I hate it, yet I go back Is it that am feeble and powerless  Or I willingly surrender myself  Though I regret.  Regretting is not enough  Do I even truly regret?  Why then do I go back again?  Am I deceiving myself?  How...

COMBATING STAGE ANXIETY

-
Image
During my high school days, the teacher that takes us in English language once asked us to advertise a product in front of the class. The job was straightforward; everyone has to go home, practice any advert of his or her choice,  and present it in front of the class the next day. Two remarkable things happened the next day. Firstly, the English language class was scanty for the obvious reason, and secondly, a classmate of mine was so nervous of presenting anything that he stood numb on stage during his presentation time. He was sweating profusely and looking at the scanty end of the class while on stage. Not even a single word until he returned to his seat looking like someone that just left the shower. I came across a similar stage fright case recently so I decided to give a helping hand to remarkably reduce that experience. This article may not totally terminate the fright from your mind since fright case is relative, and different persons have different reasons they get n...

I AM LOVE

If I don't take one's proximity for granted  Yet I offer a hand to my friend's enemy Hoping to be accepted by all Who am I?  If I keep sacrificing a lot for you Regardless of your payback policy Although, hoping for a reciprocal Who am I?  I'm the envy of many eyes I'm the true friend by your side Observe me more or regard me less I am still who I am I'm not in a haste to dispose what's broken  I work hard to get it fixed I'm for one and for all I am Love.

YOU'RE MY FRIEND

-

You're my friend!  In a world where words have lost their meaning,  It's harder to explain than to express   The quality of my vocabulary   Without tripping over alphabets  When I say 'You and I'  You're my friend!  Even with advanced self-awareness,  We humans still run on hunches  And emotions, and what-nots.  Misunderstandings lie in between the lines;  There is no more platonic without sex  You're my friend!  The world may see through a mist  And perceive what is not,  But when you see me on my knees  Consider this, I might be tying your shoelace  And not asking for your hand in marriage   Because you're my friend!
