Depressive without a cause

So here I am, sitting
Alone in the dark again
What a perfect fucking metaphor
I'm so tired of this
I know I have no reason to feel this pain but
Of course I can't stop it now

It's nights like this when
I don't want to hear solutions
And my dreams just tease me
With promises of a better tomorrow
That isn't today yet
And patience isn't one of my virtues



What, you mean this isn't normal for me?
Either I'm damn good at hiding this or
I spend a lot more time than I like to think
Lost in my head
Angst may be fashionable these days, but
I'd much rather be a happy geek

Does prayer change your wants and desires?No, not always, but it will change your wants into what God desires!

Does prayer change how you view the world?No, not always, but it will change whose eyes you see the world through.

Does prayer change your regrets from the past?No, not always, but it will change your hopes for the future!

Seriousely What the fuck is going on!!

Every morning when I get up, I think that may be.. just may be today is the day when no new stupidity will be encountered by me on Facebook (FB). But people are always hell-bent in proving me wrong! Why cant you see me in peace morons??

Ofcourse, I am talking about the latest "Change your display pic to some cartoon character" campaign going around now. Well, only I know of the trauma that an earlier Facebook Bra Color Campaign caused to my senses. Girls/Women (even some men) all over were going ballistic on FB writing the colors of their bras/ undergarments as their status messages. Why? To raise awareness against breast cancer. That was a massive act of mindfuck-ery. People actually thought that this is the way to go. I mean how gullible and stupid can you be? Seriously, a woman writing stuff like "Black! hehe" or a man writing "Brown today.. ".. cant be beaten in stupidity ! Only God knows with how much difficulty I finally overcame the shock! And now a brand new idiotic campaign! What the fuck ??

Basically, the cartoon character campaign is to raise awareness against child abuse. In fact , to quote the status message of a dude in my FB friend list (BTW, I have 'fired' this person from my friend list now) -

" Speak up for the little ones who can't be heard......... Change your facebook picture to a cartoon from your childhood. The goal? To not see a human face on facebook until Monday the 6th of Dec. Join the fight against CHILD ABUSE, and invite your friends to do the same! "

Seriously, WTF? Stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Let me be very clear: Just as some moron creating FB pages such as "I hate Justin Bieber" and 6000-7000 people "like" "following" it wont instill fear in those old medieval jerks; changing your status pic to any cartoon character, vegetable, fruit, tree, condom brand etc wont raise awareness for any issue.

This actually is the heights of the infamous "FB / Twitter activism"; which can be explained through these few steps:

A GUIDE TO FB / TWITTER ACTIVISM

1. Get inspired from movies such as Rang De Basanti
2. Recognize that you actually are someone who cant move even to save his/her ass
3. Get worried by the above fact as it will stand in way of the "inspiration" you got from RDB etc
4. Think how can you make world a better place without even moving your toenail
5. Come up with ideas like the above campaign or numerous FB pages
6. Feel content and happy that you did your bit
7. Feel proud that you have "contributed" towards making this world / our country a better place.

BRAVO !

Maldives being a smaller country yet has the highest rate of child abuse in the world. And to top it all, often the victim is castigated by our hypocritic society. In this scenario, this is what every abused child needs - a FB campaign which will help them by raising awareness if people will change their pics to Tom, Jerry, Scooby Doo, Flintstones etc. Frankly, such campaigns are not only stupid but also sadistic and hurtful. Sadistic, because they give a false sense of achievement to countless FB-zens and hurtful, because people dont ACTUALLY do something. They just think they 'helped'. And that further condemns the issue to darkness.

If you really wanna help, move your sorry asses and visit NGOs that deal with this issue and get real and gritty awareness. There are several of them (having online presence also) alongside the more famous ones like Care Society and UNICEF. Browse through their sites and contribute there rather than wasting time in shitty FB campaigns. Ofcourse, theres no problem if you dont want to contribute etc but atleast be clear about it. Dont treat yourself to a false sense of pride by coming up / taking part in such fiascos. Spare a thought for those children who really are on the worst receiving end of life.

This time.. No cheers.

~ 'Do I belong?' ~

"Lost in a world so full of rights,

Nobody cares to see my plight.

Born as a child filled with a want,

I am still the female gene nobody wants.

Excluded from society,

Here I stand losing my dignity.

What more could i ask for than a life,

But now I pray for my delight.

Day by day, I am a liability,

I stand now showing you my ability.

I am the child you once rejected,

And now all I ask is for you to take me back."

Note: This poem is based on a voice of a distressed child due to child abuse. Many children may not even be aware that they are being abused. its important for parents to be aware and protect their children. As responsible adults we must teach children how to be on the alert, and how to react and ask for help from others in case of sexual abuse. we shuld listen to kids and what they are saying, never ignore a child. Its our responsibility to help them, n we shuld believe dat its not there fault, and accept them like others, cox they have same equal rights.

.. Life's Choices ..

Life is full of choices

Make sure you pick the right one

Don't listen to the voices

Hear only yours and you have won

Many people will tell you

You need to change your looks

Don't take to heart their view

Fabulous bods are found only in books

There is only one voice

That you should listen to

It will help make the right choice

That is perfect just for you

Your looks are your own

Someone will always love you

You will never be alone

Look in the mirror and you'll see who

... A Womans Worth ...

She gave life. She is a wife.

She is a mother and she is a friend.

She is a sister a survivor to the end.

Appreciate her, we don’t dare.

Ask her worries, we don’t care.

Wipe away her tears, they are invisible as air.

She works cooks and clean.

She laughs, helps comfort, and hides her pain.

When you struggle she pulls you through

All this is she and what do we do?

Complain and create a mess.

Provide stress and leave her feeling depressed..

Push her away and ignore her advice.

Tell her she is nothing without thinking twice.

Told she was nothing and would always be used

just for pleasure forget her pain.

She swallows her pride, put her feelings aside.

Does as you need in order for you to be free.

Ignores your ignorance and tolerates your flaws.

You call her Bitch, Slut, Hoe and Tramp

She answers with pride dignity and a complete loss of self.

You call her nothing.

I call her Strong, Smart, Sensual, Caring, Giving, Surviving, Tolerant and powerful

I call her WOMAN!
