View from the Villain

I ask myself how do people love?

The idea of loving someone with their flaws is so foreign to me.

I can love a person, but I'd always hate their negative qualities and I know it's true for everyone

And if it's not, there's something wrong with me, or something extremely right with them

Does their heart pump love while mine only pumps hate?

Is their work hard while mine is just fate?

Is their blood hot while mine has run cold?

If we have the same hearts, why is mine impossible to hold?

Does their hand crave another while mine only craves a pen?

Is it wrong to yearn for solitude again and again?

How does their love feel like a breeze on a hot day?

While mine feels like a debt I can never repay.

How do their eyes resemble stars while mine lackluster?

How do they give love for love while I just feed them off like a vulture?

Does their mind replay memories they love, while mine is just a misery cell?

Does their recollection fade when they feel fine, while I remember it all too well?

Did narrating the book from a villain's point of view make it hard to sell?

Did I have nothing to say or did the lump in my throat make it hard to yell?

Asking questions, knowing answers, my thoughts are amiss,

Can't convince my mind of things that don't exist.

Have these people mastered the art of humanity so well?

Or the world has made them great actors, it is hard to tell.

Why Pride and Prejudice Endures: A Look at the Timeless Appeal of a Classic Novel

Hey everyone! I'm back with another post and today I'm going to talk about one of my most favorite novels ever. Pride and Prejudice by the legend herself, Miss Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice is a classic novel that has captured the hearts of readers for centuries. The story follows the lives of the Bennett family, particularly the daughters, as they navigate the societal expectations and pressures of the early 19th century. While the novel is often seen as a romance, it is also a commentary on the societal norms and values of the time. One of the main themes of Pride and Prejudice is the idea of pride and prejudice or the pride that individuals take in their social status and the prejudices that they hold about others based on their status. The character of Mr. Darcy is a prime example of this, as he initially looks down on those who are not of his social class, including the Bennett family. However, as the story progresses, Darcy begins to see the error of his ways and ...

Dark Academia and My Passion for the Written Word

Hey everyone! I'm Taskeen and as a lover of literature, books, reading, writing, and whatnot, I have always been drawn to the melancholic and nostalgically intellectual themes of the dark academia aesthetic.
