Spring


Never be so kind, you forget to be clever

Never be so clever, you forget to be kind

Strong hearts and minds are hard to build

But trust me, they are much harder to break.

If all you did was love, don't apologise

If all they say is you're evil, don't listen

If they beg you to save them,

treat them the way they treated you

Sometimes, you're better off without

their friendship and bad blood.

Insecurities are loud, 

Confidence is quiet

So don't you worry, dearest

Slap that makeup on, put on that dress

Let them all judge you, flaunt your finesse

Be yourself because all you did was love

All you didn't know was who it was

It was just a mistake and you survived

Battered and bruised, you're still here 

The trash took itself out and you're free now

You got too big for the cage they locked you in

Sit in the rain, let the flowers bloom in your cuts

Be kind not complacent, 

Bend when you can, snap when you have to

Be angry because you should be

If they call you a snake, shed that skin off,

And bite them back ten times harder

Make sure the venom seeps all through them

Kill them slowly, kindly and painfully

Leave your home roofless,

Let the storm pour in.

Chapter 4: The Missing Chapter

  Dear stalker, Confidence is quiet; insecurities loud. This sentiment is the barbed wire that binds the pages of this burn book, procuring its very own spine- born out of resilience and resistance. After all, a strong heart and mind is hard to build but harder to break. In hindsight of recent as well as distant events, this author would like to shed light upon the absence of Chapter 3: Vermin and Secrets. Surely, you didn't think we would ignore its removal and abscond into bliss? In the rooms and corridors, perhaps. But here, not a chance. It was brought to my attention that there have been speculations and accusations among the masses that were instigated by that chapter. I must say, this author has been muzzled into silence for far too long and far too many times, always for the sake of abuse or protection. As someone who inherently finds gossip nothing but repulsive and obnoxious, inspiring her to launch a virtual morgue for a satirical autopsy of all the rumours and gossip th...

Chapter 1: The Break Up

Dear stalker, Never had I ever been bullied in my life. That is, of course, until I joined college.  My whole life, I had always been this sweet, quiet, and polite girl who was liked by everyone she met. I was never involved in drama or fights. I was obsessed with not getting into trouble and being someone everyone loved and adored. I used to flex about not having any haters. Boy, oh boy, was I about to be surprised.  A few months into my college life, I became the centre of attention for almost everyone in my class- and for all the wrong reasons. I was in a relationship with someone I never met in person and was slowly falling for someone else in my class. I know, I know- where are my morals? Where is my humanity? Right? Why would I leave someone I had been in love with for years over someone I barely knew for a few weeks back then? But that was the stark naked truth and I didn’t even try to hide it. I always made sure I told my then-partner (let’s call him P) everything that...

Chapter 6 : The Nice Guy

  Dear stalkers, Let's talk about men today. Men are fascinating, simple creatures. They are either nice guys who are chill nerds/jocks, or oppressive conservative misogynists that objectify and rape women. Right? Obviously, you're a nice guy. So this post is essentially dedicated to you. The target audience of this chapter are all the nice guys out there. WE SEE YOU and this is a just token of appreciation for everything you've done for us. You are our hero and you're not like the other guys at all.  Note: When I say "nice guys", I don't mean all nice guys. I'm sure you will understand what I'm talking about, through the course of this letter. It has been brought to my attention that I have been posting too much about hating men lately. God forbid, I start inspiring people to become misandrist, which would endanger the lives of innocent men and rob them of the credit they deserve for all their good deeds. Men deserve to have rights to not be hated...
