Suffering

Tears turning into waterfalls
Disturbing thoughts running at the speed of light
As I vacantly stare at the world outside
In my room, I keep all the secrets I hide
The walls have seen me cry rivers
Cry over hidden feelings and resentments
These walls lend me their shoulders
When I've received sticks, stones and boulders
In a corner, I curl up to feel warm
For only cold feelings course through me
All I want to do is bring this to an end
End this all, end what they call
A gift, when it's just a painful memory
A memory of the better times
A memory of cheerful chimes
A memory reminding you of
Grieving and pathetic feelings
So why not end this suffering?
A suffering that can't be stopped
A suffering that can only be ended.

A Dance Never Meant To Be

In these erratic rhythms
Our dance wasn't meant to be
Though it started with captivating movements
And enchanting spotlights on dark stages
The mysterious ambiance and hypnotizing melody
Blinded the disastrous flaws of this sweet duet
Misguided and mislead by hopeless dreams
Streams of sweat and blood simply wasted
This futile attempt of perfection
Shattering our delicate hearts into million shards
Fixing our sways worsened the brewing catastrophe
As we tried putting our souls back together
The rhythm grows faster, the melody more intense
Couldn't cope with desperate pirouettes and jumps
Sinking to the floor with broken bodies and minds
Trying to reach for warm palms
We fail, we fall, we accept
This dance was never meant to be...

Review of The Fault in Our Stars

Life is short. Life is cruel. Life is unfair. All we do is just sit idly, waiting for our ends. But somewhere, a ray of bright light exists and someday, it will reveal itself. After that, life will gradually become beautiful.

This is one of the very few philosophies The Fault in Our Stars teaches us.

Hazel, a teenager suffering from mets in her lungs, reluctantly attends the local cancer support group for cancer ridden teenagers. In one of the session, she meets Augustus Waters, a boy who had suffered osteosarcoma because of which he's lost his right leg.

Their friendship blossoms as books, opinions and playful, sarcastic comments are exchanged and personal philosophies are explained. Soon enough, they begin spending almost every day together. Their relationship deepens as tears, laughter and a surprising trip to Amsterdam are shared.

Although many might think this is a typical cancer based romance novel, I assure you it is not. On the surface level, this book is a humourous read with a little tear shedding. But once you think about the meaning behind disguised phrases and a few mind boggling quotes, you might say this is certainly a touching book on life's different aspect and harsh realities a lot of us are afraid to face.

Inspiring. Transforming. Captivating. Moving. Unveiling.

This is definitely John Green's best novel so far. Take a bow, Mr. Green.

Oh yes, it's a must read. :)
