This section is completely devoted to
self-expression the way you see fit!
Have your say
The title is really self explanatory as you get to speak your
mind freely here! “Have your say” is a witness to the writers’
own opinions about the most crucial and interesting topics!
Thoughts
Completely devoted to every poetry lover! Whether through poetry
or prose they get a chance to convey their thoughts and emotions
through a stroke of a pen!

But At Least You Tried

When you think
about all the times you’ve made a decision to
change your life but took no action, it makes
you lose hope and cease to try; you become
convinced that you’re no good.
You wonder, if you can’t trust yourself, can
anyone? And if anyone does, should you accept
their trust? You know you don’t deserve to be
trusted so it only pressures you, because you
know you’ll somehow end up hurting them and
being even more disappointed in yourself. Are
you being a little bit too hard on yourself? Are
you exaggerating? You think, till your head
hurts. You don’t know what to call this…
insecurity? Low self-esteem? Lack of
self-confidence? Conflicting thoughts fill your
head. You’ve been stung so many times before
that you always seem to be waiting for the next
disaster to happen, you’ve been so unfortunate
that you’re expecting the only things that are
going right to go wrong, which naturally is what
makes them go wrong and you’re to blame, it’s
always your fault. Then, upon realizing that,
you add another reason to the list, one other
reason why you hate yourself. It suddenly occurs
to you that maybe, just maybe you can try and
change all the reasons you have on your list,
and somehow turn them around, because then you
won’t be having all these problems. You decide
that when you wake up tomorrow you’ll be a whole
new person and less of a drama-queen. You’ll
start working on your self-esteem problems,
sleep well, eat healthy food, and maybe even go
to the gym.
