Won't You?



Lie down, won't you?
Let us watch the stars
As they travel across the sky
From east to west.

See the nothingness surround them
And surround us.
I've never seen anything
Prettier than this.

Stand by me, won't you?
And look up for them.
Search for those constellations
An astrophile yourself.

May be, beneath it
I may open up
Just a little more
May be you'll see
My rawest side
And I'll see yours

May be we could
Pray beneath the stars
If no one's around.
Or just stay silent
Listening to the sound
Of silence.

Can you see how those lights
Have endless reaches between them?
But down here, they're complete.
One artistic piece of beauty.

Can't you see how
Gazing at them can be addictive?
Are we rather different
If we find their beauty
Something that consoles
Whatever is within us?

Are we strange 
If we'd stargaze all night,
Either in solitude
Or with the right company?

Because if stargazing could lift our hopes
And calm our minds
Why isn't it yet
Declared therapy?

Probably what's therapy for us,
Isn't therapy for them.
But sit by me, won't you?
Let us stargaze together.

About the Hillsong Peace Music Video - Rant

On the 2 nd of March 2018, Hillsong Young and Free released their first music video  that spoke of the issue of mental health which clearly wasn’t the type of video you would expect to see on a Christian Music channel. While I found the song to be extremely soothing, with the hate and false alarms being triggered around the video being dark, cultic (which I heard a little too much) or displaying creepy ghosts and bloody rain (laugh, if you like) I thought I’d break down portions of the video and explain it because oddly enough I’ve seen too many response videos and read too many articles and comments of people over-analysing the symbols on the video instead of receiving the message of God’s peace especially for those who struggle with anxiety on a mental health level. “I think for a really long time I didn’t understand what anxiety is. When I look back at my whole life I feel like I can see traces of this for as long as I can remember but it wasn’t diagnosed until I ...

My Journey Exploring the Theory of Evolution

  (Prologue) What could be my stance on evolution? This was something I repeatedly wanted to address but I was usually unsure if it would find relevance on my blog. Firstly, because I’m not a theologian. And secondly because I just thought most people were way past that. For some reason I assumed this was not an argument among Christians anymore (wow, I know, my ignorance) and we’ve moved onto weightier issues. However, that is really not the case. I have seen people both within and outside the scientific community that think evolution is some sort of a tale or a conspiracy theory, sometimes even having “scientific” theories of their disapproval of the same. So here it goes!   During my days in school, I, like every other child, thought that evolution was simply a theory supported by loosely based facts and wasn’t something I should be too bothered about as a good Christian kid. I genuinely believed that Darwin and the rest of the evolutionists only wanted to have a go...

Suicidal - Rant

I was born suicidal. Hang in there. Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those people with cuts all over my body trying to earn sympathy for what I am. I'm just trying to write something about myself, something I've never dared to write down or talk about. So please bear with me if you can. I was born suicidal. Writing it down itself makes me form a lump in my throat - it isn't something I'd like to read or easily admit. It's usually something I like to stay away from pretending like it doesn't exist, locking it safe somewhere at the the back of the collection of my childhood memories where I wouldn't want to remember that I thought differently about death. As a kid, I thought everyone just wanted to die. No really, every single person just wanted to die. I still remember when I was probably 3 (may be 5) I was watching a cartoon where a character was trying to save his life and like the questioning child I always was I remember asking my dad rep...
