Positivally Cynical

Positivally Cynical is a premier exclusively student-run online magazine that focuses on opinionated pieces of writing that as we like to say, define defiance.

This poet does not title her poetry.

In blood instead of ink                                                             in vehemence instead of stain                                                  in feelings instead of dye                                                           but in vain.

This author does not title her poetry; she seems to be a handsome distance away from the urge to put her words in a structure of meaning. Her thoughts are profound, many levels beyond the maturity her years can command. Read her to meet a glimpse of genius – here is her interpretation of the theme ‘Divinity’.

How to exist..

Existing at the junction where you meet life, where the inner world begins conflicting with the outer, is a nerve tingling, uncomfortable yet exciting experience to impose on oneself. Our explorations of the core continue with poet Shamira taking the chemical route to defining and then dismantling us. 

The second post in the poetry section.

Hidden.

As our poets explore the core of expression, Mansi Hitesh opens the floor of poetry by delving deep into life and its patterns of the obvious and concealed.  The first poem in the section, we are incredibly happy today. Come, share our happiness, and leave a verse or two in reply and make us happier.
