The Inferior Female
Stature slender, Pitch higher. A non-male gender, So he must be higher. Physically inferior, Sit still and look pretty. Don’t question the superior, You’ll only look silly. Beauty over brains. Man over beauty. I’m not a feminist, But a minority of men give me reason I should be. Are you threatened by…

Why You & I Both Hate Shopping
Nothing sinks my heart further into the pit of my stomach than the sight of two mums fighting over the same cable-knit jumper in the ‘Winter’ aisle, or better yet, one of them fighting with yours truly.

The Struggle Of Trying To Eat Healthily
I would rather bite my own tongue OFF than put another rice cracker with low fat margarine IN my mouth. You read that correctly, self-maiming seems like a healthier option as oppose to a life full of flavourless feeding habits. I’m in no way against people being as healthy as they can be, I’m just…

Poem – What’s In A Tattoo?
The needle pierces my body, But I feel no pain. Black Ink drowns my pores, Euphoria begins. I am in paradise, I am transformed. My skin marked before my eyes, An external expression of an inner form. This is the poem I wrote for my first ever podcast published on my blog!…

Audio: What’s In A Tattoo?
What’s In A Tattoo? Do you have tattoo? If yes/no, why? Are they works of art, or, blights to our sight? For some they are sentimental expressions of inner emotions, for others, regrets on a drunken night out which they can’t live down. When I see someone with a tattoo I think to myself…

Why The Winter Blues?
With the sun getting lazier and lazier these November nights, returning to its slumbers faster than I’m sure the majority if us would like, as a result, I hear the miserable moans and groans of grief-stricken commuters.

Poem: 5th November 1605
The dank presence of gunpowder fills their lungs. Settling smoke distorts their view. 5th November 1605 – a night like any other. If only this were really true. Traders to country, traitors to crown.
