My Drug

Writing is a way of expression
a form of art that conveys emotion
to some it is a waste of time
but to others a breath of life
The way the pen seamlessly glides
on the paper as words
come spluttering out one by one
Not a day goes by where the urge
to write like an addictive drug
calls to you
The longer you wait
the harder it is to breathe
as words seem to clog up your mind
suffocating you under ideas not expelled on paper
building until the pen touches the page
and you realize you have nothing to say

In life, I tend to need some space to accept the changes that invade my life and tend to ease myself into new situations however long it takes to become truly comfortable with the conditions of my li...

Therefore, the problem with me writing this isn’t about the way I choose to be affectionate, rather it’s about how emotional and personal words become to me after being written down. So here goes nothing. My mother’s name is Maziah bt. Abu Zarin. She was born and raised in Kuala Pilah until she moved to Kuala Lumpur Where she started working, and where she met my dad. She is the 4 th child in her family of 8 siblings and a mother to two daughters. At home, she has many names, all of which have the same meaning: mak madre, mommy, mom and mother.
