http://slow.writerscafe.org/akshayrawal1996 The original writings of author Akshay Rawal en-us Copyright 2026 WritersCafe.org 1775986651 WritersCafe.org RSS Generator 15 This is an incomplete poem. I start writing, then life distracts me and I forget the poem for months, even years. I come back a changed person and I see the poem in a whole new fashion. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2796127/ Ruchira is trying to keep peace with her disintegrating sense of self and looks for diversions, in the outer world, while keeping the unknown inner clamor that keeps on resurfacing http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467902/ Ruchira is stuck in a labyrinth of nostalgia and memories and is falling into the sombre realm of her traumas lingering in her past. She tries getting out of the frenzy but it's a lost battle http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467763/ This is a free-verse I wrote some time ago. Is a bit heartfelt. Hope you enjoy it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467669/ Dedicated to someone I love immensely http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467532/ I had started writing this short story in my earlier profile. Hadn't completed the story, so I finished it over the years and am finally presenting it for you. Enjoy :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467367/ I wrote the first draft of this story on my earlier profile. It was well- received. This is a polished, literarily enhanced version of that story. Enjoy :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467364/ This is a section for references. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467362/ In this section, the attempt is to explain the motive behind writing this story and certain referential literature I'm reading alongside to better understand my themes, subjects and thoughts explored. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467325/ This would serve as a short story anthology. Tales churned out of experience, and constant cooking up of thoughts. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467241/ What happens to a person who feels they are the worst looking people in this world? What is beauty and why does body image mean so much to us? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467233/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467197/ Something's hollowing inside,It's all from swallowing insidePain, and efforts vain, the stainsOf character, faults insane.It's not loneliness, causeThere's only mess, lossOf smile, amidstpiles, and lists.Of those who care, they're thereThey stare,at my pair of eyes, And layers of cries&nbs.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467192/ I set my mind to follow some rules.(But I fail to abide, emotions can't hide.)I punish my soul for being a fool,For ebbing with the tide, for shunning my pride.***I have needs, have circumstancesFallen victims to preys, of societal greys.Invited trouble, been granted second chances.Regretted some da.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2467191/ Life is a see-saw,Strife is what we drawout after our joys,Shout after our toysbreaking.

What keeps their belief upright after all? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2466988/ This is a book of miscellaneous poems. I'll attempt to dig out the roots of my emotions, psyche, and lay before a world which the mind has conceptualized so far. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/akshayrawal1996/2466982/
