Teach Me How

-

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.

Sometimes they get mad, alright

They said this should be easy

But reading frustrates me

Cause I can’t get b and d right.

 

Why wouldn’t they know

It’s tough for me too

Why couldn’t they show

How to get this through

Cause I do want to know

How to read like you do.

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. -27/3/2020- p/s: not sure if it makes any sense though

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...
