And you could not rise -
For your words imprisoned you,
and silence lingered.


It's a Senryu piece, a shitty one. I'm just pissed off and needed to write something very concise.

So here I am again, with my in-depth confessions and my own killer: words.
We all get those feelings when we really really want to write/play music/draw/artivate yet it's either work that gets to us, or it's procrastination--and I say the latter wins the fight!
I have been so burdened with some thoughts, some really different and various thoughts that probably have nothing to do with one another.
First come dreams: dreams are a huge pill of insomnia for me, or in other words I'd say a big part of the burden I carry inside. My death dreams are visiting me on almost a weekly basis now, each time differently. Sometimes shot at heart, sometimes bleeding on bathroom floors, other times just me dying without actually knowing how. Now the question is, will writing really take it off my mind? I don't really think so; I'm really starting to doubt life and I've been experiencing twitches of my whole body on a mere thought of death. This is just so weird..
Please don't prejudge and say I'm a pessimist, death is not pessimism, it's reality!

Second come words: If you know me pretty well, you'd understand the effect of words in my life, and it's partly why I really wanna be a writer, a published writer to be quite frank. Words are underrated, and they're a world changer, either positively or negatively. And although my poetry and prose are not all positive, I still think inspirational sayings within my lines may change the way someone feels about writing or about life. If you carry some wisdom in your words, you're a world changer :)

Third come the thousands of topics I have in mind: I think about stereotypes, about the invisible world, about racism and sexism and extremism. I think about bombs and how the shock waves are what really causes the real damage in the world, not the bombs themselves. I think about the society and the ignorant thinking and all those theories of conspiracy and capitalism. I think about politics, how people are using the words "The revolution" only to say the world is coming to a stop and everything's been worsening more and more. I think about just too many things that I'm always left without talking about any single thing of them. And that's the worst of all.

Being a writer, I think I'm meant to suffer with the words I'll want to say, I think I'll die with so many words left unsaid, stories left untold and reflections buried with me. I'll just keep fighting to change the world somehow with the thoughts I can free out loud, until maybe, just maybe, one day I'll be able to make someone write, to make someone truly change the world if I never had the chance to, and then I'll stand before my Creator and truly feel like I've done something worth living for, and worth even more dying for.

May Allah guide us all to a peaceful, world-changing soul!

Dear all,

Don't freak out, I didn't delete my work, all my poems and prose pieces are drafted because the Publishing House needs exclusivity on the book so they have to be nowhere else other than the book insha'allah. I might re-publish them when the book is out, until then..

Stay tuned and pray for me =)

Thank you!

Before reading, please read these words at least twice:

This post is from the deepest depths of my heart, and I probably will never write something again so sincerely and wholeheartedly.

Now go back and read it again if you may.

My main problem lies in those two words: I do not have writers block. I don't. I have something else, not sure better or worse, I just know this thing hurts.

In the previous post, you already read that I have been writing since I was 14, but..never have I thought nor ever felt this way before, never have I felt that words hurt, with the literal meaning of hurt. My words, I hate to think I could write them again, I hate to write them even in the first place - it's a feeling of wanting to suppress everything inside, let it die and rot inside of me, maybe right then my soul will take that battle for me, not my pen; my poor pen and my precious feelings..I wanted to keep them. I didn't want to let so many insecurities outside, they were just too many, and yes, I prefer to call them insecurities rather than any other word I refuse to remember.

When it first happened, that thing, that terrible thing that put all my ease on fire and let me burn with my bruised emotions -- no, I'm not that emotional if you ask me, I just care about my emotions just as much as I care about anything else within me. Back then, my friend Ibhog told me to pray excessively, and that's what I did. I felt like I couldn't do anything more than praying sincerely to the only One who can save me from all of this. I pleaded in every single prayer, I couldn't be more persistent and hopeful that Allah will save me somehow. What on earth was happening? That, I don't know, or it's why I came here in the first place.

About a month and half ago I read a novel I think I will never forget in my entire life. It was about books and words, about writing. The narrator was death, the protagonist was a girl who started writing just a little younger than my young age when I did. I don't know how to explain this, but this novel made me feel like I can't write anymore, as if death will visit me soon, as if I'll just write my last piece of writing on this earth and it will be so influential that the next motivating thing for people to live life truly, will be my death. This novel has cast a heavy black shadow on me. Words, how useless they are, in a world where hunger, politics, corruption, colonization, war and so and so on, acts of severe hostility are everywhere.

I don't know, ever since I felt this way, the day I wrote this quote and then made it a status on facebook, that said:

"I want to die free. I want to die free. Even if imprisoned or enslaved or tortured, I want to die knowing that my thoughts are unchangeable! I want to die free, even if from the outside i'm oppressed and full of shakles and handcuffed. Inside, I'm a slave to none, only an obedient to God..."

This quote is one of the quotes I expressed sincerely and brutally honestly, and I still want to die free. I think about being imprisoned or enslaved way too much, and how would I react upon this, and then I go like "Death, martyrdom, the purpose of life, heaven, hell" and a series of dark yet real thoughts pours itself, with the most burdensome one "in an infinite universe, what am I? Truly? a speck of dust, why is it that we think too much of ourselves?" and in the end I just want...The later life, not this.

But then again come the words, how easy they are, how easy they have always been. This past week, I couldn't think of anything but this, and my words, where will they take me? What about the next word I'm going to say, now, will it benefit, or harm? I'm a writer, I'm a very troubled writer, and I'm a tired thinker. I sometimes wish I would really just give up the process of writing because lately, it causes me so much pain, why? Purposes haunt me. I don't want to be just a writer, I want to be a writer who makes people do. I'm a selfish writer, so please don't read my words in vain, otherwise, please just don't waste your time on my blog.

Yet, I remain with too many written paragraphs, and not a single emotion expressed rightly.

Again, words..

I don't believe in coincidences. Lies. I write nonsense. People love me for whom I'm not. My body twitches on the thought of death. I'm impulsive. You can't fight my hard-headedness. I have sleepless dreams. I'm an insomniac. I have some kind of sea phobia (Thalassophobia). Crimson. I hate birthdays. Cliches. I'm a paranoid. ADHD. I want to visit Italy. I think art is a masterpiece by God. I don't believe in words, what good are they -question. I'm a geek blogger. Twitter changed my life. Tahrir is the only place that makes me internally at ease. I believe I'll die in a car accident. I'm against Secularism. Sometimes showing emotions is the hardest I can give to some people. Planning Fallacy. Books heal and hurt me, sometimes in one single moment. I have three ugly stitches in my left leg. My first piece of writing was at the age of 14. I sucked. Illusory Superiority. I believe books should not be on shelves to decorate. People say I'm mysterious. I love to read about the Roman Empire. I zoom out when I pray. I think borders between countries should've never existed. I'm not a feminist. I hate ACs. I think the color black is royal. Conspiracy. I'm against sarcasm even if it makes me laugh; it's just a synonym for "Su5reya". I once thought that if you touch me you'll know what I'm thinking about. I'm honest, which to people means I'm rude, so I am :) . You won't ever see me cry unless I'm completely, completely torn apart. Privacy. I love long walks. I'm allergic to scents I don't know until my chest starts burning. Consumerism. I'll never be a good family member. I don't name inanimate objects, except for my netbook Zuzu. Salvation. Quotes will always make me think deeper. I don't watch a lot of movies. I'm a great time-waster. Illusion. I wake up everyday thinking it's time for Judgment Day. I'm a tired chameleon. Closures.

My words don't and will never resemble me, I'm only a passerby writer.
am I?


Inspired by this.

Finally, I updated the blog (duh). I don't have copyrights over the background; I took it from the website wallbase.cc

This blog is going to hold blabbers pretty soon insha'allah, since the personal one will be abandoned.

A letter of hope is worth a thousand pigeons flying,
in all seasons of words;
yet one climax of absolution.
