' Ask - just for once! '
Ask!
What love means to a person who chose to stay. Always.
Ask!
What death means to a person who'd swap lives with a dying stranger.
Ask!
What a bottleneck is. To an introvert who no longer can keep it all in.
Ask !
If words could scream internally. To the walls of a ghost town.
Ask!
About everything that's hidden behind the rosy smile of the sky!
Ask!
About all that the wind has given up to flow persistently, to come this far.
Ask!
A star , how dark could a life be.
Ask!
A blanket, how cold could the world outside be.
Ask!
The roots, if everything was a trap all this time.
Ask!
A soul, how it feels like to slowly kill itself from within.
Ask!
Yourself, how it feels like to loose the favorite version of you.
Ask!
A human, how it feels like to not feel human anymore.

Infinite blur = my world where everything is just a blur.
'Like stranger, like family '
I walk in a quagmire, alone and lonely, sad and soulless. I stumble on the nothings my brain has hypnotized me into, staring but missing on the things I'm approaching like they are a illusion in my infinite blur. The infinite blur with a exception of me and the swampy trail; in the deep, dark dungeons of which is left alive to decay, the real me ; to fade the fragments of the painting of my real world.
Swallowing my toes , thighs and fingers, My kidneys , lungs and eyes, the dirt has taken over me. With one last nerve cell left, I write . About my life, I've forgotten the existence of; about my memories, I've forgotten the taste of; about my happiness, I've forgotten the bliss of; about the people , I've forgotten the smell of. About the God, my love! , I've lost faith in.
Like the dust floating with the wind, I'm oblivious of my posture, my gait, my destination. The dust never knew it'd halt by once again on a dry leaf for a breather, and neither did I know that I'd seize to walk once again, that I'd try once again to revamp my painting with a doorway leading me out of this hypnosis, with a magic brush just like sanju from shakalaka boom boom.
I did not have a magic brush but somehow, I did halt. Maybe for a breather, maybe for a miracle, maybe for the reality to finally kick in. I sighed and glanced at the trail, not sure if the heavens have finally showered upon me , but I found diamonds , not one, not two ,more like a ton . Few, I left behind in the infinite blur ; some I protect and cherish in the safe of my heart forever and ever. For, the diamomds are the strangers I accidentally met in the ruins. For , they flipped the coin of my life and hit the heads. Freed me from the dungeon and Sharpened the edges of my painting. Brought my taste back, brought my faith back. Helped me look at the world, a little more clearer, from a thousand miles away. These are the people, the world will soon witness the extinction of. I may not have met them, I may not know them , not their likes /dislikes or what they life is like, yet, they feel more like family than family. It is among the strangers that I've found, the love , the strength, the family on whom I count.

' What lives inside a hug? '
An abandoned house stands
Frozen in time, so still
A dusky ray of light
Flies home a kite.
A wild flower blooms, in black and blue
Exhaling love, in red and pink.
A timely thorn, scars and bruises
Grounded roots, heal and snooze.
A company incorporates
From your veins and my cells
An amalgamation , it is
Of your fantasies and my dreams.
What lives inside a hug
Knows not you nor me
How tight is a tight tug
Wonder thy fingers
Bonding on a sewing spree.

Still looks beautiful
I'd still smile.

Have you ever seen a couple fighting voilently? Now , have you ever tried to look behind the couple ?!
At the children whose screams are lost before they meet your ear. At the children terrified of their parents. At the children scared for their lives. At the children robbed of their childhood. At the young adults , whose childselfs are buried too deep inside a trap woven by thier own family in the name of love and warmth; Detangling of which now seems impossible. At the people crumbled in the swamp of this Persistent ordeal. At the people who wish for themselves to never have been born.
Here are some Excerpts from the young adults brain ,who are but a dried flower, one blow away from falling off.
'Trap '
I live inside a trap. There's a lot of darkness disguised as light. I despise the day and long for the night. They ask ,why do you stay awake at night and sleep in the morning. For the silence, I reply with reasons silly. For, the loud wilderness in the silences can always stay hidden. For, the darkness brings me peace. For, the darkness now feels home.
I live inside a trap. There's a lot of emptiness disguised as people. I despise people and long for loneliness. They ask, why do you not mingle and always stay single. For I'm a introvert, I reply with reasons silly. For, people are tricksters always playing a trick. For,emptiness is my rhythem and words my music. For, emptiness now feels home.
I live inside a trap. There's a lot of pain disguised as love. I despise love and long for the pain. They ask, why do you overthink and smile so little. For the pain is part of life, I reply with reasons silly. For, love makes me dream for the skies. For, the pain keeps me glued to the ground. For , the pain now feels home.
I live inside a trap. Sometimes as a child , sometimes as a parent. They ask, why are you so weird ? Why can't you be normal ?. For, I do not know when to be a child and when to be a grown up. For, I no longer know what is normal but toxicity I smell even with eyes closed shut.
I live inside a trap of cement walls and doors unlocked. I walk with my friends and strangers a few, for, everyday I learn something new of this life left astray. Yet, I always come back , for ,oblivion stands guarding the door. Of the trap that now feels home.

Before you start reading this , just know that its a sensitive topic and not everybody is going to agree and thats okay. Just don't hate on me.
Now go on and read with a open mind.
'Rape'
Growing up mama told me ,
You're a man and you need to be soft towards women and protect them at all times; you gotta treat them with love ,hugs and flowers;
You're a man and men don't cry; you should be strong and bold and show the world what you are and what you could do.
___________________________________________
Until one night ,
I was alone and told my next door neighbor and best friend of 8yrs to come over for a fun gaming night. Little did I know, he had more in mind.
He told me he loves me and wanted to show how much he cares for me . I was 14 yrs old and so was he . "Stop I do not think this is the right thing to do , please can you stop" ..... "shhhh , I'm just checking up on you , don't you trust me " . Not long after I thought, ' I'm a man, strong and bold, nothing can happen to me ' , things escalated as quickly as my breathing. All I remember is staring at the white ceiling which was turning black, my world was turning black . There were no stars , there was nothing. All there was ,was me ,numb and paralyzed in a dark abyss and my bestfriend checking up on me . (Atleast thats what he called it.) My tears quenched my parched throat so words could finally fall out . But , my brain became one of the new born's . All it knew was to scream, which were lost within the lines of his palm. My silenced screams allowed the pain to takeover. He dressed me back up, as he finished and covered me with my blanket to keep me warm, laid next to me and said ,"see I told you how much I care for you , I'll always love you." Words flow in and out of my ears , as I laid there like a corpse but with open eyes all night long staring at the ceiling.
___________________________________________
Yes , you read it right. I was a 14 year old boy when I first got raped. And my mama told me, "aah , stop crying . Man up ! You're my strong boy. It was just a nightmare baby . You're gonna be alright!" I looked at my bestfriend ,while listening to my mama, and only I could see the evil in his smile. That was not the end , it went on for a long time ..... till the time I could finally understand what rape is and even after that.
What are you thinking of?
How could I not defend my self?! Why didn't I call the cops?!
Huh! You see , according to this world, men can't get raped. No wonder , I was ridiculed everytime I mustered the last bit off confidence in me to talk about it. Only to realize I'll just push my self deeper into the ocean of depression and now I dont even know if I can bask again at the surface , the shore being a far impossibility.
I'm a shattered human maybe not a human at all . Feels like I dont know me anymore. I was dead on that day but physically alive. For, suicide is and never will be an option is what they say. And my heart's just pieces, some almost eroded into sand. I live alone in a world full of people and they meanings. Where, 'heartbreak ' is confined to a relationship with their boyfriend/girlfriend and 'rape' is confined to a gender.
___________________________________________
I do not know what my life is and what it holds for me in the future. I do not know what anything means. But ,I do know that my mama was wrong! And I do know this -
Nothing in confined to a gender, nothing is confined to a situation. Moreover, nothing is confined to nothing. Everybody is strong and bold and can dream for the sky. But, somewhere deep inside everybody is soft and needs protection at times. Everybody needs to man up! and know its okay to cry. Everybody wants some love , hugs and flowers because guess what !?
that never hurt nobody !

'Trees'
Older than humans are the trees
Existing from the time everything was free
From its fruits, leaves and branches
To its trunk , roots and avalanches
Of the credulous howling gale
Playing along with the children
Picnicking with the family
Fostering love with the lovers
housing a fleeting generation
Of the nature's beloved
Birds , bees and butterflies
And ,oh ! How i wish
To sleep under its shade
From all the stories ever since caged
To stretch with its might
Brushing off with the wind's caress
All the bad aura and the plight
To wake up with its seeds
With its lessons and its peace
Sown in me deep.

Agony makes you unfamiliar
with the rainbow
and familier with the rain
Even the sky needs rest and sleep
Some warmth and peace
So together stand , tall and high
Just one more day
And you'll ignore the grey , you'll ignore the rain
You'll climb the rainbow and embrace the pain.

All our memories reside at the sea side
Braided along the waves and powered by the currents
Migrating from place to place , everywhere leaving a hint of trace
Living all the things that could have been
And the fantasized reality our future could have seen.

—me, immediately after getting a podPeel this skin off
For I don't understand
What lies beneath it is flesh and blood
Or a melange of memories.
What am I if not a hoard of bones
Carved with hymns
Wrapped up in conversations?
This smile is not mine,
it's an inflicted stretch of feelings;
my lips know how to cover for the blunt truths
My eyes often give away.

From A Daughter Not Born
A pretty flower
that bloomed in thy womb.
With limbs
as delicate as petals.
In thy protection
I needed no unnecessary decoration.
A chord of sacred LOVE
wrapped me with thou.
I was thy LIFE
like sonnet to Shakespeare,
like feminism to Virginia Wolf,
like piano to Mozart.
I awaited as a seed inside
to call thou 'mamma'
to wipe thy tears
one day and
hold thy hand
when thou grow old.
I waited mamma.
But unreality was painted
our warped chord
was split.
And togetherness FINISHED.
I was taken from thou
before I could enter
the great fair of human life,
I was plucked from your garden.
Thou humming songs,
reading poems
and rhymes,
smiling while knitting wools for me,
brushing our portrait of love
could never be ENOUGH
for this daughter not born.
P.S. I promise to finish what we started!

As I could never get enough of you
I wish our love life was never finished.

A flower plucked from your garden.
A chord split from your heart.

Falling freely in aloof air
Caressing the soft atmosphere
Separated from ancestral home
Landing on wretchedness of unknown.
When winds were filled in stormy bellicose.
While sapiens defiled me for amusements of own
Pristine madness of this world on show
Here i go into detritus stages of remorse
Turning lifeless yellows, my skin wanted more
I am a figment of verdant allegory,
A leaf that isn't too oblivious of grandeur
Will surely preach nature for some love
While dew drops endear my lonely soul
And vehemence of clouds sing my song

To the reader
Hey you..... Yes the one you are reading it...
Surely life is hard, something we get and something we loose. The tighter the grip, the more suffocation you feel.
The heavier the grudges, the less you smile...
The more you expect, the more you got hurt...
The more you hold someone, the easily they slip down...
The more you need, the more you become vulnerable
Darling.... Do you need someone to be you?
Is it necessary to hold someone or something for life...
In the race of being popular, earn money, fighting for comfort... We all are losing something.... Something that can be you too...
You might be lost at times... And be alone af... And then someday you will cry, someday you will smile and someday you will laugh.
We, the humans are meant to be so intelligent... That we share happiness and hide sadness... The only thing we feel is... The person in front of us will laugh at our situation... Coz we are vulnerable...
Start accepting the way you are... If you are introvert, be one... If an extrovert, be that.... Don't care how people will judge you....
Don't be ashamed of you... The way you are... Yes, you are precious... Yes... Sometimes nobody might like you... But does that matter???
Why we are running to impress others?
Is it necessary to look good in other's view....???
YOU ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOURSELF... WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR... WHEN YOU STOP PRETENDING AND START BEHAVING THE WAY YOU ARE...... YOU AREN'T BORN TO IMPRESS OTHERS.. YOU ARE NOT A THING...
THAT YOU NEED TO IMPRESS EVERYONE...
JUST KNOW THIS..... YOU'RE SO PRECIOUS WHEN YOU SMILE.

In this mirror,
I look and it's not
Who I was meant to see
The person there,
It isn't me.
Life becomes unfair
And I try to be
Beautiful and free
Yet, I'm trapped
And not where I wanted to be.
©bxbumblee -
So many thoughts
I don't know where to start
I only have half a heart
Breathing becomes hard
On this cold floor,
My existence
Just whimsical
I try to be predictable
But I end up cynical.

Jungin, born on June 10, 2019, who died last Oct. 13 after being adopted in January 2020.
Jungin was adopted in January 2020 and for this, her adoptive parents received monthly child allowance from the government.
In October 2020, adoptive parents Jang and Ahn were arrested for causing the death of their adoptive baby. It was only after she died that legal actions were taken. The police also revealed that according to autopsy reports the cause of death was “damages to the abdomen by an external force.”
In “Unanswered Questions” the team runs multiple tests with mannequin baby & woman (of same age, height & weight) to figure out the kind of abuse done on this 16 month old child. Pancreatic rupture (which Jungin died from) requires 3800-4200 Newtons of force. This isn’t possible from just dropping a child, but needs great force. Such a great amount of force could only be applied if the adoptive mom had, for example, jumped on the baby. It is unknown how she applied so much force but because she did, the pancreas (the innermost organ) ruptured. As a result, the baby died from excessive bleeding.
//At first ,I fall at your cuteness
Poems arose in my mind for you
I wish you to be mine
Soon I came to know
that you aren't alive
Hoping it's just a nightmare
Again I wished for you
How could I believe ,a 16-
Months old can just die soon?
But she wasn't just dead!,
She was killed by.....!
/My poetries rusted as
My pen and heart now /
I still wonder
How did u end up
in wrong hands!
I wish ,
if I could be your mother...
I m not that aged
And I can't breastfeed you
Tho ,I wish to be..
I swore ,I will love you forever
I will care you forever
Can u just comeback for me
Or can I exchange my soul to you?
God can u take me too to her
I don't wanna dwell in this cruel world
I wanna live with her
I wanna play with her
I wanna make her happy again!//
Is the reason, the cruel world don't deserves you
That God takes you with him early?
*/I know these words aren't worth reading
It's just lame..
But my tears carry more unspoken feelings for her more than my words!*/
We are really sorry for your loss jungin ..
