Review on beautiful oblivion

August 22, 2018 A little poetic touch , book review 8 Comments

Sun is all gold and grace
Shining high with no shades
Obvious to all, but those who care
Can feel the warmth, not the despair.

Envy Envy is all I got
Cause it's shiny and I am not.
A big shiny sun is all I wanna be 
But secrets surround, suffocating me

He's asking me out, he's kissing me.
I wanna escape, I  wanna flee
I ain't your sun, I am just a star
Lying away, damn too far.

If dumbness a kingdom, he's the king.
He never sees how's gonna end.
That's not important, he says


You are my sun, even if you are
A timeless faraway star.
I want no realities, I want a dream.
A beautiful oblivion, just like a cream.



It's supposed to be easy. To choose between right and wrong. Good and bad. Light and dark.


It's supposed to..... But that's only in theories. Cause life is no cake, you can't choose between chocolate and vanilla.life is a sugar powder, you can't know it's sweetness until you taste salt in your tea.

It's never easy to forget or leave the guilt behind you.

But not impossible, it only needs magic or love.

I hope you like this weird review on Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire.

So this book discussed a lot of society issues and emotional (most important)as well in a really cool, romantic and easy read.

The plot was really flowable and the ending was a complete surprise

Liked how the author wrote the description in a way that gives you a completely opposite idea about what the book really take about.

Thank you, Jamie for this book.




Thank you for reading this. I hope my review is quite interesting. I know this is not your typical review post but I am not a typical blogger either.

Review on In the after light (The darkest minds book 3)

August 18, 2018 A little poetic touch , book review 9 Comments
Last but not least.
Running hard to the east.
Hand in hand, show the beast.
What we can do the least.

Fists high through the night.
No other way but to fight.
Stealing, what was once our right.
Catching, the last gleaming light.


Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen
Years of pain for just a teen.
Who knew nothing but hurt.
Or to shake the feeling of guilt.

Never break glass if you fear.
What small shreds could tear.
As the small never stays.
Small forever anyways.

But the choice is always there.
For you to see, what's really fair.
Evil will always be a choice.
Not red nor blue nor even orange.


Thank you all for reading this poem. It was my review on In the after light (Book 3 of the Darkest Minds series)



And of course as usual, at the end of every series, this feeling hits me. 
I don't know if it is lost or sadness or despair 

Maybe it is the word "The End" 
But, yes. It was the end of the darkest mind book 3 and the end of Ruby's story. But if I learned a thing from every book I read, this book taught me a lifetime lesson.





  1. Evil isn't defined by opportunities or abilities or powers, evil is defined by the will and decisions of its carrier.                    
  2. Evil is a choice.                                                                                                
  3. Maybe we are not that bad, maybe we are just damaged.                                               
  4. There's no happy ever after but there are those few happy moments in life we could take away and forget.                             
  5. The motive is a double-edged weapon. Sometimes, it makes us destroy the world for the ones we love but other times, it makes us destroy the ones we love to control the world.

It was and always be a choice.



Thank you for reading this. I hope my review is quite interesting. I know this is not your typical review post but I am not a typical blogger either.

That was the end of the darkest minds series 
Thank you, Alexandra Bracken, for this journey.

Magic

August 08, 2018 Creative writing , Screaming out loud 10 Comments
It all started with just a tap on an icon. 

Twitter was and still my favourite app of all time. Checking here, scrolling there. It doesn't matter just wasting my precious time.


Until I found this photo. U know, no big deal!
But I think that you don't have to spend hours to make a change. Sometimes it's all about a second, a coincidence, an opportunity... A picture


Sometimes we fall in love with ideas, not people.

I believe that what happenes to a lot of people.

You love the idea of being loved.
Of being cherished.
Of being taken cared of.


The idea of being the centre of somebody's life.
The Sole and the only purpose to someone.


You love the idea, then you love the one who's got the idea, then you love his presence cause every time you see the gleam in his eyes, you remember that you are worth it.

You hate his absence, Cause you hate not hearing his words or seeing the love in his eyes.
You love the lips that tell you " I love you"
The eyes that can't leave your sight.
The shoulders that hug you.
The voice.

Step by step you start to love the whole person without even knowing you do.

But

What if this person never loved you in the first place?
Would you still love him?
What if it was just a consequence? Does it make it love?


The sole purpose of love is happiness.
But Does happiness define love?

Is every time you feel happy with someone, it means you love him?

I believe that human feelings are like a rainbow. Full of colours. Some colours are more alike than others, that people mix it up or confuse.

But that leaves us with the most important question of all 

What is love?
Which colour?
How?
Why? 
When?

I dont know.
Maybe for now or maybe will never do.
Maybe it isn't meant to be known.


Maybe it's magic💖



This is a freestyle writing, I really wish you got what I wanna say.

I just write what I feel.

Thanks for reading this.

Never fade book review

August 06, 2018 A little poetic touch , book review 11 Comments
Run Run Run Run
Don't stop, it's already begun.
Saving, those who never saw the sun.
Thinking, they have already won.
Saving and cleaning, everybody's mess
Wishing, it will make it less.
Saying, we got nothing but to fight.
Wishing, it's gonna be alright.


Fight who, where, when and why.
Everybody's screaming, Nobody is shy.
Saving a lot, saying so few 
Hiding my pain, it ain't new.
Trying to be the perfect child.
Nobody is perfect, I am only blind.

Sadness, anger, guilt and fear.
Mixing all together, making it clear.
I am gonna never save them all
Swimming for months, never reaching the shore.


But I once was and forever will be.
The friend, the lover and the one who believes.
For a better future and for a cure for sure.
For me, you and those who endure


I really hope you liked my poem. This is my own review on Never Fade.
The Darkest minds 2 by Alexandra Bracken. 

This book was different. It was filled with mixed emotions, good and bad. Love and hate. But the most prominent one is hope and giving up.

And that's what makes this book really one of a kind. 
How can you feel two opposite feelings at the same time? 
How can you figure out when to continue and when to give up?
How can you choose, when all your choices end the same? 
Is it worth it?

Is there really a cure??

That's what we will find in the third and last book in the trilogy " In the after light" 


I really hope you like my weird and extraordinary review. But that's the way I am, though.





This poem really explains a lot about a book. But I don't want to give it all away by a typical professional review. It's a great book by the way. I loved every second of it.


 I really hope you like This review. I know this not your typical review posts. I know There are way better reviews. But I don't do this for professionals. I try to be different. I try to be a freestyle writer. Shake some things up. Thanks, For your support and I, would be very Happy to hear your opinions.

Ruby

August 01, 2018 A little poetic touch , book review 16 Comments

The eyes that see, Those who judge.
They see a kid, but not budge.
I am far behind, but they don't believe.
I am way normal,  but they don't release.
Release their weapons and go away.
I am not a danger, I am gonna stay.
Their eyes are danger and mine are fear.
They gonna be, my only fear.
I am just a kid. I am only a soul.
They see me as a weapon. They see me roar.
Run away. Run away.
His eyes are power. His fears at bay.
I wanna hug. I wanna stay.
I wanna love. I wanna fight.
I trusted those, who helped me fight.
Run away, Run away.
I scream now. I am gonna be alright.
I am gonna help. Who taught me right.
But those who help, never betray.
And he betrayed me, right away.
Run away. Run away.
No, I ain't run away.
I am gonna fight, every day.
I am gonna force them to see.
The power of a ruby inside of me.


Read the Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.

This is my review on the darkest minds book by Alexandra  Bracken. It's my first poem actually.

This poem really explains a lot about a book. But I don't want to give it all away by a typical professional review. It's a great book by the way. I loved every second of it.

Here's the trailer of the movie. Will hit theatres in August.
