What bores you?
Hey…!
I hope all of you are doing well…!
I don’t know how to tell you this but being consistent on this app has made me come to terms with the fact that most of the prompts are recycled…!
This prompt was answered by me back in 2025 somewhere in the month of February…!
I really got bored of the thing that I have to recycle,
Well not recycle but sell you the same prompt yet again which I think hurts my creative front because of a promise I made to myself before I began writing…!
So instead of the prompt you get one of my write ups today too,
But it will be disguised in the form of prompt to give all of this a push that it definitely needs…!!!
Eyes of children who never forget…
There linger some feelings,
Some emotions unspoken of;
Some words with-held,
Not brought to these lips,
To keep those dear to us near…
Whom we considered our own,
Once pure,
Now they won’t stay with us,
Those known faces became unknown…
They call our eyes droopy,
A face that seems off,
Hasn’t witnessed a shread of happiness in years,
Dark circles that grow day by day,
And the light of the eyes that diminishes as each day pass…!
The eyes,
Those eyes never forget…
Unkept hair,
A bunch of facial hair that grows haphazardly;
Those dead-fish eyes that scare everyone,
And staring into them feels like a slipping slope;
Once you fell into them—surrounded by darkness you feel,
With no clue what hurt them or continues to,
they walk away from you without a care in this world…
A sense of relief is seen in them when they indulge in their vice,
A line of pure white,
A pill with a happy face,
A tab or two,
Or a bottle that’s waiting to be emptied;
When the white of the eyes turn red,
Bloodshot—
Only then,
In a sense of euphoria,
A sliver of smile comes on the face…
On rare occasions we wish,
These vices weren’t the only thing that made us smile,
Made us feel— More human,
But;
As the buzz wears off,
We are back to our self,
Our usual miserable selves…
With those eyes,
We stare,
With a sense that tries to find a meaning in everything;
A thought comes to our mind,
Here we are—
“Here we are still alive…”
Those are the eyes of children who never forget…
Cheers 🥂
