Fragile Remnants



It's like each breath comes
with a condition of being alone
Love's icy touch leaves me with a numb body,
a mind of stone
Maybe I'd tolerate the skin,
but I hate it when it sinks deep into my bone.
The poems can't be written
without letting go of every hand I've ever known
The evil is buried somewhere,
or it would've been a struggle to switch the tone
Why does peace come to me
at the price of giving up everything I own?
The wound becomes fresh
every time the scar is shown
Broken heart, moist eye,
for sins such as this, I can never atone 
You can feel me sinking daggers into your flesh,
then tell me how you still condone?

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.

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 ...
