Puzzle

-

I was staring at the sea
The waves were charging at me
But they quickly went back
Then they came again.

Was I like that too
Back and forth
Repeating mistakes
Putting in the wrong piece
In a messy puzzle
Knowing it’s wrong
And yet, I
Keep putting in the wrong piece
Honestly, what’s wrong with me?

Was I like that too
Back and forth
In between 
Giving it up or keeping it up
The puzzle was still a mess
And still, I
Couldn’t figure out my way
Honestly, what’s wrong with me?

But it was time
To be free        
The waves were never the same
They came back different
And the puzzle shall be
There was no wrong piece
For it was an abstract picture
Put a different piece
And it shall come out different
And I could never be wrong
For it was made to be different
For every different decision.

I can’t read nor write They look at me with pity Like I’m born silly You don’t know what it’s like.

A Thousand Words: An Introduction

-
Hello and good day to all😊  This blog exists as a medium to post my series of creative writing in order to fulfil my third task of the course TSLB3252 (Creative Writing). Taking this opportunity, of course, I might as well promote my other blog here 😉 (the only difference is the content is bilingual while the author is the same person, which is me.).  . Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about this blog name and its URL. As you can see, this blog name is A Thousand Words and it is as literal as it is. Though it is named A Thousand Words because the song A Thousand Years was playing in my head, I thought that it would sound good if I named it like so. For publicity purposes, see. And, won't all the creative posts here reach 1000 words, after all?  . However, is it enough to convey our complex emotions with a thousand words? Have you ever heard this: "a thousand words and I still can't tell you I like you" (the pickup line, phew). Have you ever felt li...
