Hardships of Knowing Things
A Spoken Word Poem Written in a Moment of Loneliness
Sometimes not knowing is a blessing in disguise
being happy in the bubble of your own world
not thinking about missing stuff
not realizing how lonely you really are
not caring how no one gives a single damn f*ck about you
You never know how knowing something can hurt so much
It can make you ponder on all your life choices
make you doubt every action and decision of yours
swirling you down into the rabbit hole so deep
that you can never come up again
or might never want to see the sunshine again
It keeps getting hard
to control my emotions
to allow me of the sensitive feelings I have
coz I am not sure anymore
that I will survive this tornado in my life
that I would have the courage and will to live anymore
My life has become a rapidly fluctuating sine wave
with ebb and flow of sad and happy days
The happy days go by easily but
With each sad day passing
it feels like the soul is slowly getting sucked out of my body
leaving me hollow on the inside

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
