jjoel19 - Hello Poetry

With pen in hand, I conjure worlds unseen, From thin air, I summon stories pristine, In this extradimensional tapestry untold, My creations emerge as a sight to behold. Through writing, my creativity blooms, An artist's haven where imagination looms, Through ink and paper, I breathe life anew, Giving birth to worlds, both old and true. In shadows' embrace, my past remains, A 26-year journey laced with stains, From childhood's depths, where trauma seeped, A shattered soul, its wounds still steeped. Through poetry's lens, I'll paint my tale, In words that pierce, where sorrows prevail, With each verse, a cathartic release, A glimpse into wounds that never cease. Through metaphors, I'll navigate the pain, Unravelling scars, like cracks in the pane, Yet, through it all, a flicker of hope, A flame that dances, a resilient scope. Through poetry's embrace, I'll heal the scar, Transforming anguish into art bizarre, For in Hammerspace, I shall reside, A wounded poet, finding solace inside.

Hammerspace

With pen in hand, I conjure worlds unseen, From thin air, I summon stories pristine, In this extradimensional tapestry untold, My creations emerge as a sight to behold. Through writing, my creativity blooms, An artist's haven where imagination looms, Through ink and paper, I breathe life anew, Giving birth to worlds, both old and true. In shadows' embrace, my past remains, A 26-year journey laced with stains, From childhood's depths, where trauma seeped, A shattered soul, its wounds still steeped. Through poetry's lens, I'll paint my tale, In words that pierce, where sorrows prevail, With each verse, a cathartic release, A glimpse into wounds that never cease. Through metaphors, I'll navigate the pain, Unravelling scars, like cracks in the pane, Yet, through it all, a flicker of hope, A flame that dances, a resilient scope. Through poetry's embrace, I'll heal the scar, Transforming anguish into art bizarre, For in Hammerspace, I shall reside, A wounded poet, finding solace inside.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to do something to help her escape reality. So one day,she started painting on a blank canvas.Each stroke was done meticulously,as she was slowly creating a flawless masterpiece.When she eventually finished painting,she gazed proudly at her work and smiled. It was quite obvious, that she had a gift.She knew it too. She could feel it flowing in her veins. Days passed and she got caught up in her own life, frolicking and gallivanting across exams, jobs and relationships. She was preoccupied with worldly pleasures, running after things which never really mattered. She was happy, but unhappy at the same time. At last, she realised that she should do something which moves her/is passionate about. So, she quickly went to a nearby craft store and bought some canvas and paint. She started painting in her room, completely unaware about time, from dusk till dawn. She realised there was still some magic left in life to revel and rejoice in, as we transcend our dreams and realise our self worth.

Hey,It's me" Enveloped by emptiness.. Feeling incompetent Trying to unmask society. What is society anyway? I ask myself.. An ideology created by us to escape separateness.. It's my 23rd birthday in 4 days,but i'm not excited.. Nothing to look forward to.. Clueless and numb.. My dreams seem obsolete.. I'm tired of routine. Not afraid of death or scary ghosts.. I welcome them with open arms.. On a chilly December night.. I retrospect on the years passed by... Trying to figure out how i reached here.. Suffering is suffering,love is love Tomorrow is another day,let's make amends

I can't even fathom what goes through the minds of such men who commit such horrendous crimes..another girl brutally ***** in India,with her corpse burnt.. This is just one of the million cases that have come up in our country,excluding ones which are not even reported.. I think it's high time we men start taking some action..the best way to tackle a situation is to destroy it at it's root level.i.e.educating young men that they should respect women by default.. Whenever i hear or read such instances,i wish that i was a vigilante and could go **** all these men who bring a shame to our country..and i'm sure even other sensible men also feel the same way.. Here's what we can do to stop these atrocities from occurring each day.. 1.Stop objectifying women: Women are not to be termed as "bundi","maal","slut" and many more terms cause it doesn't make us realise that they're human beings,just like us and should be addressed as per their names ..Phrases like "cover the face,fuck the base" gives men a false sense of satisfaction,thinking women are "trophies" and lustful objects that are born only to satisfy our desires and don't have a mind of their own..If you know people who use such kind of phrases or if you are among them too..please refrain from using those terms and stop hanging out with such people and tell them their mentality and structure of thinking is damaged and need to re-wire themselves. 2.Be vigilant: If you ever see someone or a bunch of people trying to harass/violate someone,report the authorities immediately and try to stop them from doing so..beat them up if you want to..it's your duty as a citizen to look after one another.. Even if it's someone of your own blood,don't hesitate..cause such people are not humans,they're monsters.Such behaviour is never to be condoned. 3.Seek help:This is for those who have gone through such traumatic/near death experiences,please TALK to someone,anyone whom you can trust...don't restrain within..and Men ..please make women in your life comfortable around you and aprroachable..so that they can rely on you in their darkest times..it's never easy to confide in someone..so respect their decision ..don't lie to them or ignore and give false hope.. 4.Stop Fake allegations:Women,humble request, don't put somebody's life in danger by putting fake allegations of **** and harrassment on them,cause it's like the story of "The Boy who cried Wolf"..when it happens to you for real,no one will come to your aid,so stop playing with other people's lives to boost your ego.It's not gonna mount to anything..it endangers lives of actual victims of **** 5.Consent is necessary:This one is probably the most important of them all,always ask for CONSENT..never try to force it,respect the other person's decision.. you have no right to violate anyone's body without their consent and don't even think about misleading them with false promises ..you men are the worst..these double faced idiots who pretend to be nice guys and exploit a girl's trust..if you want to impress a girl,do it with your own personality,don't fake it...she'll realise sooner or later...It's because of you guys ,women in our country sometimes misjudge guys who are actually very nice and humble..SHAME on you scumbags.. These are some points that i wanted to make..REMEMBER, Respect and humility should be there by default,it shouldn't be demanded..BE a responsible citizen and put an end to this demonic crime.

I live in a closed world with open wounds, Jubilant scenes my mind eludes, Wishing I could find my own place.. Away from the endless crowds i never fit in with.. Away from all the fakeness,drama,chaos,numbness,hatred .... The feeling of not belonging and wondering .. Why i'm even trying to maintain a life i aint happy with... It hurts when you can only see what you lack.. The constant pressure to change into the only thing we'll be accepted as;something that isn't you... I'm at rock bottom.. Freefalling in a travesty of feelings... Enjoy the ride,my fellow readers.

I live in a closed world with open wounds, Jubilant scenes my mind eludes, Wishing I could find my own place.. Away from the endless crowds i never fit in with.. Away from all the fakeness,drama,chaos,numbness,hatred .... The feeling of not belonging and wondering .. Why i'm even trying to maintain a life i aint happy with... It hurts when you can only see what you lack.. The constant pressure to change into the only thing we'll be accepted as;something that isn't you... I'm at rock bottom.. Freefalling in a travesty of feelings... Enjoy the ride,my fellow readers.

I exist in a world that's really different, A world where I don't feel like I belong... A world where we have to live with the fear and uncertainty that everything; can be taken from us in an instant... As you can see, I'm terrified beyond rational thought... All these demons in my mind slow me down as they run deep... I want to break down my walls and open up, Angry and sad all the time, I got tunnel vision... I try to detach myself from me and attach to someone else, Ends up being more painful than it seemed to be... It's easy to lose what you never had, Warping my mind over the image people have for me... I'm sorry for all the rage, wasn't born with it... Trying hard to harness all my repressed emotions as we speak... I want to extrapolate life itself and put an end to this malicious prosecution of humans... Our mind is delusional at times, and is too smug by undermining its beholder... I'm weaving all these thoughts to put an end to my misery, Find the basic purpose of my existence. My dear reader, Life is all about making mistakes and doing things to set them right, It's a never-ending cycle that we're all a part of... So, let's strive towards our surreal-like dreams and Fabricate them into reality.

Real or Surreal

I exist in a world that's really different, A world where I don't feel like I belong... A world where we have to live with the fear and uncertainty that everything; can be taken from us in an instant... As you can see, I'm terrified beyond rational thought... All these demons in my mind slow me down as they run deep... I want to break down my walls and open up, Angry and sad all the time, I got tunnel vision... I try to detach myself from me and attach to someone else, Ends up being more painful than it seemed to be...

Step into the mind of a young man Staying up late night My mind's a mess living in a world of stress So let me break it down for you I write verses to fight my inner demons Rapscallions everywhere tryna bring me down Imma keep grinding in a tranquil hell Till i reach another level i've never been on The world is enough a hell to be ****** Why curse it further? During my severed journey in metro rails I see people with facades of character Unable to merge with their true mores No one can recognize me amongst them Oh! I guess im a stranger to you All i think about is music Past memories splash like tidal waves Gallivanting between my two identities One fractured, the other to survive My heart struggling to untether from itself Now I wonder which is my home...? This one or the world i dream about.. Now you may leave... Thanks for sticking around.

Every time i reflect on myself, I feel like i'm someone else... I know I stay true to my inner being, but I'm always compelled to be a better me. I keep asking myself.. Is this a facade or an impression Am I even me? Am I all that one's meant to be? Or am I blind to what others see? Well, i don't actually care what others see I create and tend to live my life in my own unique way Being spontaneous,that element of mystery always there.. Maintaining a "positive image", it will inevitably break.. Despite the distance, i think you and i will be fine In a world created inside our minds, Blissful and unique.

Im gifted and talented in my art But people keep unrealistically positive expectations from me Our society is overly attached to the superficial, All chasing a mirage of happiness and satisfaction There's no harm in being hedonistic.. But it shouldn't come at the expense of someone else Asking for a "compromise",talent is shoved down the barrel Im open with my insecurities, thats why im saying out loud Be it a man or a woman.. You shouldn't make them suppress their anguish And succumb to the pressure.. Respect is not something to be demanded It should be our default mode..

Her name was Molly She was the eldest in a family of 6 , Her dad was an alcoholic and gambler Her mom sold milk to make a living She had 2 brothers who were too lazy to work or study So, all the weight and expectations fell upon her But she never complained, kept working diligently She was a silent worker who never asked for sympathy She was a role model to her youngest sister She was quite smart and intelligent, Beautiful and brave, She was unabashed and was down to earth She completed her degree in nursing Despite financial struggles, lack of support and misogyny And became a successful nurse She served people for 28 years without any protest She taught me to be myself,and the virtue of patience I consider myself blessed to be her son I look up to her to this day... She has sacrificed so much in her life All she asked ever in return was to break stereotypes And do things which no one will expect from you Thank you ,mom for everything..
