Confession 9 | #WritersCell 3 AM is for all of those who can't pull the macho act I pull when pulled over by the police. It is for all those who avoid using the letters ق and ض in conversations with smelly cab drivers in order to avoid the uncomfort.  3 AM is for the homeless man I just saw sleeping outside a mosque downtown, it is for the woman looking outside her window waiting for her drunk husband to come home.  3 AM is for the family going to sleep tonight without their little girl whom they lost to cancer this afternoon.  3 AM is for the unfortunate

Confession 3 | #WritersCell  What is #love?  Opportunities are countless under the cold sun Love is October 2015 and last night Touching black mirrors to transcend Love is Skype calls about Charlie Hebdo and Amman Emoji’d virtual reality, disconnected to connect It was a long winter of snowflakes. Disabled and dismantled count down Command me to be well. I told the butterflies Love is the scent of perfume and cigarettes we shared  As a tower whose top is in the heavens, stood still So well. Love is Sam Smith's voice Between the lines of every construction Antonyms put together in a colloquial syntax Riddling the traits of my protagonist There you are, there you were My muse, my supply of daydreams Whisky doesn’t taste the same How many decisions does it take to make the right one. Love is my heavy breath and your coloured eyes How could I possibly end this un-revised, raw piece of my mind that I don’t intend to proofread, ever Artwork: Anonymous

confession #2 | #WritersCell  What is fear? It is what 2015 taught me to accept... The hard way! Leaving me with an anxiety and an urge to be everywhere at all times. Now it's only fair to say FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is not the pop culture product of constantly going out, to me it's regretting not being there when people passed away, moved away or walked away. This one is for my beautiful grandmothers, may their souls be resting in peace #FOMO
