The Lights

The Lights...
Please turn out the lights
Give me back the night
I don't wanna see day

The lights...
A few more moments of sanity
Blot out the truth of reality
Fool me into believing the lie that everything is alright

Solitude isn't always lonely
Solitude is peace
That's what the night gives;
Peace.
Peace that is taken away with the coming of day
Why else do we sleep at night?

Oh, please, for a few moments only 

Give me back the night
Help me believe the lie

Please turn out the lights.

'Nashing or Nah?

  So... Y'all know there's no month like October, right? The best month of the year. If you disagree, well, soak the sky!   I found from a fellow blogger,  Dave that there's a blogging challenge 'Blogtober' where you have to put up something on your blog every single day in October. Basically, aims at encouraging bloggers to create content, I guess. I haven't posted in a while (I know! You don’t have to remind me!) but I have written stuff that only a handful of people might have seen (some unseen because I wasn't sure of myself) so I thought to myself; oh wow, this really cool! Maybe this is the time to share all that I've been keeping to myself. Heads up: there'll be a lot of short pieces...call them mini-poems if you like. For such posts, I'll try and maybe give a little background, what brought those thoughts about (if I remember) If anyone thinks I should definitely work on it some more, feel free to let me know; I'd totally con...

Attraction: Is it Enough?

Image
Blogtober post  5: What is the first thing you notice about a person when you first meet them? What is the first thing that attracts you to a person? Their body stature? Their height? The guys, boobs or booty? My ladies, six pack anaa? For me, the basic thing that I look out for that attracts me to a person even before I get to really know them is their eloquence. I mean, if they’re easy on the eyes, that’s a plus too. But for me, the brofo is very necessary for any further engagement. Please I'm just kidding. Source: ca.askmen.com Attraction is a quality that sparks an interest/desire in, or gravitation towards a person or a thing(Wikipedia came through again). Attraction can be platonic, physical or sensual, emotional, sexual or romantic, even intellectually. You can be attracted to a person in combination of ways. And they don't always go hand in hand. For example, you can be attracted to a person so they can be your friend(platonic). You can be attracted to a person emoti...

Fear: Not Always a Bad Thing

#Blogtober Post 2:   Source:   Potential.com Ever heard of #fomo? Seen the hashtag on Twitter or Instagram or wherever? If you already know, good for you. If you haven’t heard or don’t already know, well, hop on! Welcome aboard! Marketers use this strategy to influence potential clients during promos and the like but that is not the focus of this article. Fomo is the ‘fear of missing out’. Well, by the name, I guess you already understand what it means. Now let me try and explain. We always talk and hear about how we need to overcome our fears and turn them into strengths, which is a very good thing.   Fomo is a great example of that. It teaches us that fear is not always a bad thing. The idea behind it, as you may have perceived, is that the fear we have of missing out on something demands that we act in order not to miss out. Social media today plays huge role concerning how we feel in reaction to what we see on there. Source: duluthnewstribune.com Of course, we cou...
