![[58] Fixation to Perfection](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/questions-25.jpg?w=497)
I have 16 drafts pending on my editing table. I have 6 stories ready for revision. I have around 18 topics that I can write on in 30 minutes and publish them here. But I don’t. Because of fixation to perfection. I think that things can always get better, I can always do better than…

![[57] Freewrite back into focus.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/focus-eubij_1.jpg?w=470)
It’s been a long while since words have flowed out of my brain and formed a concrete idea. Now all I do is live inside my brain and let it sink in the moments I perceive to be of importance. The will to write has been eradicated by the monotony of waking up, getting ready,…

I drag my misery with me To the light clouds shaped mountains Hoping they’ll lift the weight Put me at halt, a work against gravity Offer a refuge to my restlessness A home to my anxiety And give me a pass to leave them there And tell me not to be a snowball Collecting panic…

[54] Poetry By My Nightmares

Nights terrify as the rain drowns my scream The wind that held answers is distracted to amuse paper boats and drive it to sink with me. A numb sleep lets you meditate and makes you dream of colours. Avoiding red, you accept the blues A lighthouse like a morse code, wrecks you. A…

I am alive, I know it The rigorous thumping of my door reminds me The lively riot inside me A live show it stages inside me The rigorous thumping of my heart reminds me It reaches a crescendo where my brain vibrates Convulsions warn me of the beast inside me I pop a pill and…
