Notes:

In this exercise, we were taught about the use of Stanzas, and they let us practice writing organized stanzas (those with full stops) and practice writing run-on sentences. And this practice was done during a lecture instead of the seminar (our seminar was canceled due to strike action happening in UK universities so). This exercise was done to see which one 'works best' for us to express our ideas and emotions.

The first poem is written in four stanzas each containing two lines, the other poem is just... Well, let's just say it's confusing and a bit wild. And as usual, the first poem is about my current personal emotions toward people on campus, the other poem is about... Wait for it... Fearian! Yes surprise surprise! 

Here's a random, fun, and official fact about Fearian, he's a talented artist and a beginner writer! When he feels love and happiness and when he develops a friendship, he tends to draw pictures of those he loves, but when he experiences sadness and despair, he tends to try and write to "get his negative emotions out of his head so he could 'breathe'". Basically, he treats his emotions this way, to vomit all of the bad emotions into a piece of parchment. Hence the run-on sentences.

That's all I have to say, enjoy these poems!

That Outcast

In this wintery world of eternal rain, here I am.

In this building of knowledge, I see lively beings.

But, those beings seem to easily hook each other.

But then, those beings seem to possess the same energy that attracted one another like magnets.

I, a foreigner to this world, can't shine like them and stand out.

I, who have the same energy hidden in my heart, seem tedious on the outside of my shell.

Should I, shocked by their bold statements of filth, huddle away in my far hole that I call home?

Or should I, free from the scorching judgment of my homeland, break this mold of fear and reach out to those beings?

This Heart

I reached my hand they hit it away 

Before I talked they barked-- Harshly barked and almost bit, I ran in time and their barks echoed away

Now I'm in the city, in the center, I sighed, a sad sigh, my throat hurt, it hurt so much my eyes almost rained-- No! I stopped my eyes and kept them dry at best

Inhaled, I inhaled and shook, shook my despair like a dog out of the water, but now my body shivered, it shivered so bad I tried to hold it

Damn this land! It's harsher now that no man saw through me, they walked around, only judged, judged so disgustingly that it cut my heart more

I looked back at those around me, air disappearing from my chest, heart screaming so loud in my ears, my eyes failed and rained 

Screw this! I ran more, eyes blinded by tears, I ran far until all sounds faded-- A tree root caught my foot and the ground pulled me down

That's it, no bother, didn't mind, I remained and finally let it out, my screams are free 

And I thought to myself... This heart, this heart of mine, is shattered and bleeding
