An Honest Cover Letter

An Honest Cover Letter

Hello!

I’m writing to apply for the position of Creative Content Associate or any other damn position you can offer me at your firm Yada Dee Da because I need to stay in this country. You see, I’m used to walking freely on the streets at any time of the day or night and need to get my book published here. I’m finally doing what I want to do, and shouldn’t that matter? I’m a happy person here, I…

Characterless

Its 4 AM and I’m sitting on the bathroom floor with a laptop resting on my legs. I’m not sure why I’m not comfortably typing this out in bed but heart breaks do not happen comfortably, at the right time, do they? I just had a melt down and dramatically slid against the bathroom wall till I fell on the floor-plop. Finding it a little humorous how easily I describe it, like I watched it happen,…

The past speaks about you 

You were insecure, insufficient and full of self-pity. You would collect the sea and wash yourself with salt only to taste better for someone else. You were the lioness who could never roar, too afraid to wake others up from the noise.  You lived in a cocoon, excusing yourself of the winter that was too harsh. You let the seasons pass by only to believe the photograph of the frozen landscape…

If the scars of my heart were a game, you would join the dots and create, a broken masterpiece. I am the the dry paint on an old canvas, unfinished lost interest but there's a story to be told in the half stroked paint brushes. All you need to do is notice me. . . . #lifequotes #art #writing #writer #write #writers #writingcommunity #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram #writersofig #words #wordporn #photography #photographers_tr #travel #travelphotography #europe #painting #traveldiaries #instatravel #sculpture #poetry #poetsofinstagram

You are loved I will write this on a notebook in ink and hope you fall asleep on an open page Have the words sink as they imprint Onto your face So every time you see your reflection You can know Somebody loves you, You're never alone. . . . #writing #writer #writers #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #words #wordporn #poetry #poem #poet #poetess #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #travel #malaysia #traveldiaries #travelphotography #photography #photographer #photographers_tr #love #art #purple #sunset #beach #amateurphotography #selflove #travellove

I'll let you in a little secret. I'm a liar. I'm miming through life without words with a huge smile on my face and the facade is being pulled off well. The audience thinks I'm happy, no words to complain. Nobody knows what's been destroyed and what will never build. It's so much easier than you think. #photography credit: @hasanejaz9 . . . #wordporn #words #writersofig #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #prose #writing #writer #writers #alone #mime #art #photographer #travel #travelphotography #photographers_tr #creative #sunset #life #word #poetry #poem #fiction #me

We're all afraid of being too emotional Like its a disease that can spread The biggest diss to anyone always is Why are you so sensitive or sentimental? Like it's a crime to feel We all make it a big deal Humiliating our friends who cry We keep questioning them why They choose to express their emotion When we should be questioning those who don't We live in a society Where we all are afraid Of associating ourselves to anything weak We call it a disgrace Boys who don't cry Make girls cry Because we're constantly told that pain is something you need to get over And not understand. In a world of dumb Who think the key to success is to be numb, Cry. #photography by: @hasanejaz9 . . . #wordporn #words #writersofig #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writer #write #writers #poetry #poet #poem #poetess #poemsporn #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #water #tears #cry #emotions #spokenword #photographer #photographers_tr #stilllife #art #photograph #life #society #success

I found words, In third grade english class An empty piggy bank A distressed father A house under construction I found words. The first time my heart leaped and I found myself describing it as a frog I was a hybrid. I found words To explain the shade of his brown eyes The colour wheels couldn't define I made up mine, I found words. When nobody could understand what sound I was talking about When I told them about the crack I had heard in my body, It was my heart When he stopped having anything to say, I found words. When the clothes stopped fitting me When depression was eating me I filled my mouth with cake And the only thing that could come out Two fingers down my throat Trying to lose weight, Were words. I found them, When my hands could no longer find your head, Stretched, An empty pillow case I found words. When solace was no longer solitude When everyone's complaint was What's wrong with your attitude? And my feelings couldn't match My tone, Blocked, blind and alone; I found words Twisted, incomprehensible, Private and meaningful I found words. That stood around Twirled and danced Cried and laughed And made me whole, I found words. . . . #photographer #travelphotography #traveldiaries #travel #prisma #prismacolor #photographers_tr #europe #blackandwhite #words #wordporn #word #art #bookstagram #write #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writers #writingcommunity #writer #spokenword #poetry #poem #poet #poets #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #love #lost

With every step she took, the world stood and shook overwhelmed by her flawlessness. She wasn't a dragon but she could breathe fire into the hearts of people who could never see her happy. She could turn into ash, bodies made of clay. How can you pray for a girl who was born a goddess? #photography credit: @hasanejaz9 . . . #success #strength #wordporn #words #photograph #writing #writer #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofig #writers #iwrite #wordgasm #poem #poetry #poet #poets #poetess #woman #fire #photographer #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poemsporn #prose #art #music #guitar #poetrycommunity #jealousy

I remember reminding you of why you still love me when you insisted that you didn't. If I kept repeating it to you, maybe I could tattoo my name to your skin. You hadn't had a memory loss but your words had faded away, like written promises that had been erased. I couldn't understand how you had fallen out of love, where the exit was and why I could not see it. . . . . #art #prose #poetrycommunity #photography #photograph #travel #travelphotography #photographers_tr #traveldiaries #europe #bridge #writing #writer #write #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #words #wordporn #wordgasm #writers #poetsofinstagram #poem #love #fallinginreverse #creativewriting #reflection

Just like the autumn leaves stop falling And the snow starts to melt His emptiness faded away Like christmas lights that eventually need to be taken off Like old clothes that bore holes, Given away Like words that have nothing to say Like the pressed keys on your phone That lead to no search of his name Like a war that comes to an end Nobody was a winner of this game But like the message in a bottle With time floats away Too far from reach Like the leech That got tired of sucking blood out of me Pale, Alone, Finally just me. #photography credits: @hasanejaz9 . . #words #iwrite #wordporn #writing #write #writer #writers #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writingcommunity #poetry #poem #poet #poetess #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #art #australia #creativewriting #beach #love #broken #photographers_tr #photograph #travel #traveldiaries #travelphotography #heartbroken #movingon

Between all the hate I was watering for you A plant of misery Grew in me The roots of you have sunk within And I've become a puppet being controlled How ironic is it The love I was trying to forget Has it's memories infecting me stronger Than poison. . . . . #creativewriting #art #poetrycommunity #writing #writer #writersofinstagram #writersofig #poet #poetess #poem #poetry #poetsofinstagram #words #wordporn #writerscorner #writersnetwork #photography #travel #travelphotography #traveldiaries #trees #alone #pakistan #love #hate #memories

It's frightening how quick time is running and how stuck I am in this phase we call moving on, like a kid frozen in a game of ice and water except I'm the only one playing. #pakistan #words #iwrite #wordporn #poetry #game #writing #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writer #writers #poet #poem #poetry #lovequotes #love #poetess #poetsofinstagram #writersofig #photography #travelphotography #travel #traveldiaries #amateurphotography #photographer #photographers_tr #poetrycommunity #art #creativewriting #flower #alone
