      Before And After

      Jun 6, 2018

      ON THE MORNING OF MONDAY, 10 JUNE 1996, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BITTER COLD WINTER, I WAS DEEP IN SLEEP WHEN I FELT MYSELF BEING SHAKEN AWAKE. I pulled the covers down from over my head and scrunched my eyes to look at what I found to be my father.

      Two Poems

      Nov 1, 2019

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      ‘I Took Fame For Granted’

      Sep 1, 2022

      As a child, my calm home life allowed me to be truly myself. I loved being the centre of attention – I still do! – and was always the one talking at dinner. Neither of my parents were like that but they were such a strong couple and there was never a

      As The Night Turns To Day (A Memoir)

      By PillowSorrow

      Table of Contents

      Day 1-14

      Night 1-14

      Day 1

      Woke up to a new day

      Thinking last night was the finale

      So carrying on as carrion

      I understand that life was given to us and not with us in the first place

      Night 1

      Calm breeze

      Holding me together

      More descending than ascending

      And I got two missing teeth

      Never bothered going to a dentist

      Consumed by too many things

      To be thinking about the minor

      Then lying on my bed

      Dreaming of Heaven

      I wake up to Day 2

      Day 2

      Waking up to yet another day

      The worst type of days are the ones that are just like the day before

      Sun rising and it’s beautiful

      More than me for sure

      Living just for the sake of living

      Is the best type of living

      Rather than one spent chasing things

      Making you forget what you already have

      Night
