Murmurs in the Moonlight

I don't write about it

Or maybe I can't

The cloak of cowardice wrapped around the tip of my pen

Restricts the ink of my sorrow to flow

But I'm a human

There's only so much I can contain within myself

Only so much I can bear

Before it overflows, and this acute agony needs an immediate outlet

Streams of tears glistening in the moonlight

A sight so poetic

The suffering, not so much

So I talk to myself

To the dull white walls of this room

To something,

Because the idea of talking to someone seems terrifying

Would they love me if I show them that I'm not who they think I am?

But I need an escape

From this burning grief inside me

From myself

I can forgive other people,

I can be kind to them

But myself?

Never

I don't think I deserve it.

The Absurdity of Existence: A Review of Franz Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a great day (or night) so far. Before you get too deep into your daily routine, I have a question for you: Can you imagine waking up one day to find that you've been transformed into an insect? How do you think you would react? If the thought of it alone makes you uncomfortable, don't worry - you're not alone. But for the protagonist of Franz Kafka's classic novel The Metamorphosis , this nightmare becomes a reality. In today's post, we'll be exploring the themes and symbolism of Kafka's transformative tale. Synopsis: The Metamorphosis is a novella written by Franz Kafka and published in 1915. It tells the story of a young man named Gregor Samsa who wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed into a large, monstrous insect. At the beginning of the story, Gregor is a traveling salesman who works long hours to provide for his family. He is not particularly happy with his job or his life, but he ...

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. There is something about this aesthetic that speaks to me on a deep level, and that has always resonated with my own interests and passions. At its core, dark academia is an aesthetic that celebrates the beauty and power of the human intellect and is characterized by a love of literature, art, and music, as well as a fascination with the mysteries of the past. For me, this aesthetic represents a way of life that is deeply appealing, and one that I have always felt a strong connection to. I have always had a love of reading, and the aesthetic perfectly captures this love. It is an aesthetic that values the knowledge and wisdom found within the pages of classic literature and encourages a love of learning and intellectual pursuits. But it's not just about readin...
