To Play A Broken Record

I hate it when I am trying to write about things such as life, career, parents, friends, freedom, life and death…

But my entire mind agrees to talk about you.

I keep trying to rewrite what I have, remake what I am. And all I manage to think is how you are so content with happened to us, that you sleep just as perfectly fine as any other person. A person who isn’t in love, and why? Because you say that there is no time and space left for real love. So what am I supposed to do then? Cry?

I sure as hell have cried too much. Way too much, and I keep missing you. Not on big occasions, well yes on them too…but on little things. Like your favorite coffee…like your favorite place to eat and how you like to eat. Your disgust on things…and it makes me utterly allergic to that specific thing at once with no reason other than you, you alone. Every time I try and focus on things, you’re the one who sneaks inside my brain and corrupts it. Suddenly I want your hands wrapped around my waist. And your lips near my ears telling me to slow down. Because there is a coldplay song on the radio in your car; and you want us to be in that song.

Together

It really is; a shame for us to part.

Am I supposed to forget you? Like you forgot me?

I was your psycho. And you were my therapist. I fell in love with you. And you tore yourself away from me. You should, come back and haunt me. Even for one more time.

Just once

I want to show you how I have learned to smoke so secretly. I want to tell you how many drugs I have tried. I want you to see my eyes. Darkened with sleeplessness and I want to prove to you that I am not a drag.

No.

I am doing something with my life.

I am trying. I am fighting.

Not just to survive, but to live.

I am brave.  I am living without you.

It’s a hard thing to do, but I am trying to.

One day, I’ll see you. You’ll be right in front of me. And I would be able to reach out and kiss you.

I am waiting for that day. I am still hoping…Which means I am alive.

Review Of Psychaotic By Jey

Jey rated it 5 of 5 stars

I try to keep a safe distance from books to have an objective outlook, but with Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black, it seemed impossible. These verses speak to you and for you. Every word, feeling and image sketches the chaos and the storms unfolding inside of minds and souls. It’s simply-worded, somberly expressed and profoundly articulate. 

Teasers

Enigma

…Life is too intricate for me
And it is confusing
Like a million questions
Asked at the same time
When I open a knot
It ties itself again…

A little too much

…Maybe I thought about you
Just a little too much
I had so many issues
But so did you.
I was egoistic
And so were you.
I was stubborn
Just as you…

Thank you Irum Zahra for the book and for giving Pakistan and the world this precious gem.

Goodreads Review for Psychaotic

This Is Me-Psychaotic Author Review

*Psychaotic* is my debut Poetry Book.
It is the first of its kind here in Pakistan. I am Pakistan's first free verse Gothic Poet to be published Internationally.
*Psychaotic* is a word play of two words and two feeling. Psycho and Chaotic.
I believe that everyone has these sides and they choose whether or not to open or disclose that side with people or not.
Psychaotic reads you while you are reading it and it connects the inner most desires and feelings with the flow of words. I wanted to write all these thoughts on paper because I wanted to connect the reader to the people like him or her. There are so many people in this world who feel like the have lost everything and they cannot go on without someone but this, this book, it tells them that there is life after that. That they are not alone in that hurt and agony. I know and I understand what you are going through. This book is for the delusional, for the bipolar, for the insane and crazy people. It is for the introverts who swallow their anguish and hate and keep it locked inside their hearts. It is for the people who feel alone in a crowd of 1 million.
I am here to tell them, whatever hardships they suffered, whatever pain they felt, They are not the only ones. There are people like you. They are here to help you, to talk to you, to love you.
You are special.
Psychaotic is my mirror. You read this book, you'll know me.
If you read this book, and you connect with even one of it's words, do let me know.
This book is my prize. I want to reach out to everyone through this book
Remember: You're loved.

Happy Reading!

Sea Of Life-Psychaotic

Tear the world apart while you can

Burn it down while it is still on its knees

Take out your anger, the hate, the disgust,

All is bound to break you within

Climb out the walls that keep you sane

Shout and scream till you feel insane

Don’t sleep, don’t rest, don’t sit, and don’t cry,

Shout and scream till the throat runs dry

Smoke the night, the pain, and the hurt

Don’t stop till you feel no more

Cut and let it bleed

Crush and toss away

Everyone’s feelings

When yours didn’t matter

Why should theirs?

Sleep and cry and rest no more

For you have lived many storms before

Run or crawl and find the sea

Dive in the pleasure

Let it set you free.

The Unquestioned Question

The unquestioned question

How do you feel?

What you see

Count the breaths

And the seconds left

Some spent, some wasted

Some lost, some found

Hold still, close your eyes

Everything is falling

But it’s the wretched quiet

The one that you love

It’s the chaos

That you desire

But,

How can you feel?

All the restlessness

With a heart half dead.

Irum Zahra, Psychaotic

Games Of Thrones Revival-By Asghar Abbas

Revival?

Basically, no dire-wolves no dragons and not enough Jon Snow to save the show and the series in general. Plus the beleaguered North has way too much remember. This season of Song of Ice and Fire's exploitation kinda sucked....until I saw the 8th episode of Game of Thrones season Five. Bloody seven hells, what did I just watch? 

The show runners more than redeem themselves and restore the faith of all the fans; just watch the deserters (myself included) jump back on the ship that is far from sinking, it's evident. Those who were worried that the show was losing its edge have naught to fear, with this penultimate offering sharpens the show like a whetstone sharps a blade. 

There were many who were braying about the show's declining quality but D&D more than rekindle everyone's interest in all things GoT. 

This episode was pure gold and I am not even talking about the satisfying meeting between everyone's favorite two main players of this wondrous (often frustrating ) game. 

No one does the chosen one and would be savior quite like Jon Snow and this season he is the only saving grace. In this episode he is just so so cool, every bit the Stark everyone thinks he is *wink wink* 

Oh the stare downs, the premonitions, the not so subtle prophecies and the foreboding, God the foreboding, the delighted foreboding ! 

Episode 8th may have just saved the show just like Jon Snow saved the day. Well, sorts of.

The liberties taken in this are to be cherished, the departure from the books are to be celebrated if it is done right like with this episode. This is the type of deviation from the source material that I am more than okay with; I fully support it in fact. For this kind of creativity of the create licence improves the overall product.

seven gods what did I just watch?

Astounding. There is hope for this show yet and fully looking forward to the show's finale and the hooded hints of "The Mother's Mercy."

don't let it be just a taunt. This time around.

Make no mistake; this episode was a penance and what an atonement this was.
