Physical health issues have taken a toll on me, most of the times I’m unable to breathe. I feel as if there is something heavy in my chest that’s blocking my airways.

Man always crushes my hopes but I’ve loopholes. The most important one is me being a human being. Such a petty fragile human! This is self-pity. This is me writing while I face a writer’s block. I’ve gone deep into this nasty abyss called life and this chasm does not let me write. It’s stripping…

Dissuaded by my very own The one whom I called my home,   I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks Ah you’d never cut me a slack,   These are your offerings to me Dear lord, When would you set me free?   Deadness won’t come easy this time Alas you’ve screwed me big-time!  …
