With my busy, busy schedule

I’ve been incredibly swamped

But I’m so excited to announce

This is my 100th day of Daily Prompt!

So I don my celebratory quill

I say, a toast to commitment!

A toast to passion and cheer

With a brain as my only equipment

I toast to more writing this year!

I couldn’t have done it without you all

Your support and feedback are great

Reading your work inspires me

To take...

She couldn’t remember a time

When time was hers.

Duty, guilt, and passivity-

The trifecta of moment-stealers,

Drained the hours from her days.

The lovely distractions of marriage and children made her forget

What she used to want.

And she lived as the years passed by-

It’s not that she didn’t.

But she gifted the hours to those she loved

Doing things she didn’t love.

She abided the days pursuing th...

Here’s the story of a girl,

Who once was dead inside.

A girl with shattered dreams,

No dignity; No pride.

Dark brown Liquid in a spoon,

The devil in disguise.

He swept her off her feet,

Then left her there to die.

But little did the devil know,

This girl was not a coward.

She fought with all her fucking mite,

Till she won back her power.

Through pain and struggle,

She found her way.

I know I’m shit at everything

And I can’t do anything right

But when I’m not stuck up in my mind

Damn, I really know how to write

Forget my pain and countless strifes

When I pick up the pen, everything subsides

I’ll build a world or tell a tale

When the words start to whizz, you really can’t tell

When I twist my words to sow a seed

I can leave you spellbound as you read

Magic really is nothing new...

Sometimes I think

About the things I wish

I’d already achieved

Having a house

Renting or owning

I was never picky

But I know that’s a reality

That will never come

Not in our economy.

Having a successful career

Or at least doing a job I liked

But I have never experienced either

Working to simply get by

Never anything to be passionate about.

Having a bank account full of savings

Thousands on retaine...

You’ve been my best friend.

For years now.

I don’t know how you put up with me,

But I’m so glad I am you have kept me.

My mind loves you from everything

From your flaws to what I awe.

I love you Parvina....

Pay attention!

You never listen.

Did I mention?

My frustration

with your penchant

for woolgathering?

It isn't flattering

It’s battering the

limits of my patience

You need to be a patient

See a pro

and grow your insight

gain control of this mind

before time

(that thing you can’t see)

steals it amid

the confusion

Oh, you did?

And got rid of the noise?

That’s a very small pill.

Are you sure it will w...

The Earth was scrubbed clean this morning,

The air still electric from the sudden rush of water. We've forgotten how the air cools so quickly on our skin.

This morning, I breathed it in.

I had other choices.

I could've left quicker,

Could have spent eternal minutes on a packed highway.

I could've thought about work,

Worried about the threadbare edges of my love,

Trembled at the possibility of so ...

The time passing so quickly,

I am not finished, but I’m happy.

My book has reached a large number,

A number of pages,

And even though I’m young,

I feel more crazy....

One day I will achieve something

Something I’m proud of

I won’t have that feeling of relief

Or ok, but I could have done it better

Or earlier

Or differently

No ‘I can’t celebrate this now’

Or ‘oh that - that’s a work in progress’

But something that will allow me

To feel unashamedly proud

That I fearlessly broadcast aloud

One day soon

That’s my commitment to me...
