According to Meron “Code blue” “No, she’s a DNR” “we’re just going to turn off the sound, and you can say your goodbyes.” . . . And suddenly, the hallway was overcome by a deafening silence. Everybody was looking around with utter confusion and dismay. I thought death was peaceful. Why am I hurting? As my body begun letting go of life, my soul took one last look at the world that doesn’t have a place for me anymore. Coming out of my mom’s womb, Playing hide and seek with my dad, Wrestling with my brothers’, Plumes of black smoke coming out of our old house, My best friends, My first kiss, Th ..read more

Regret
According to Meron

According to Meron Scenes of lamentation Unfold in my head, In a pool of maybes I lie infested. Contrition, compunction, Dejection, can’t decide. I’m longing but I’m here It’s my hurt I can’t hide. Maybe absence really, does make the heart go fond. Is it true? Are you gone? Did you really walk out? If I’d loved your music Would it all have worked out? If I’d said, “I need you” Would you have held me tight? Or would we still have ended A million miles apart? View original post ..read more

Dilemma
According to Meron

He stares at my lips, they were your favorite sight. He tells me I’m beautiful, that was your favorite line. He says he’ll never leave, that was your favorite lie. Do I learn from the past;  and watch over my heart? Or do I open it wide  and just let fate decide If he’s a you in disguise Or a you minus lies ..read more

What’s funnier than 24?

I made my long-awaited debut to this world on the 18th of May, 1995. That’s a fancy way of me saying it’s my birthday. Not just my birthday but my 25th birthday, a milestone some people never got to reach. As I bask in the afternoon sun trying to find the perfect lighting for a selfie, I got taken aback by how little I’ve changed throughout the years. Before I knew it, my photoshoot turned into a session, I got candid about so many things in my life and started to confront myself. What in the world am I doing? Is this what being an adult looks like? could this be what they call a quarter life ..read more

A tree named Jorge
According to Meron

Ever since 43 Maybrook drive became my home away from home, I’ve watched Jorge live, die and resurrect. As it bloomed like a teenage girl that just hit puberty every spring, it’s leaves, ripened by the summer sunshine, desiccate and drop to the ground every fall; the way age makes a once young army veteran fall into the hands of an aide. As every winter comes, it loses its leaves one by one until it’s left naked and alone; the way one loses his mind, body and soul as he lays in the nude under the ground, stiff and still. Jorge is truly resilient in the face of adversity, so much so that I’ve w ..read more

Getting rid of the toxic people in your life is all fun and games until you realize that the toxicity happens to come from within. Yes, you can be toxic to yourself; Even, Oxygen, the gas vital to sustain life, lo and behold, can also destroy it. I believe that self-criticizing is one of the most common and subtle ways of self-harm. Slicing every bit of your youness, to the point where you end up being emotionally crippled. Speaking from my experience, I am my worst bully. I have never been enough for me. I have always expected so much from myself. Be it looks, intelligence or success. I criti ..read more

Lifespan of a pimple
According to Meron

Like a zit on the skin You never came to stay Prowled your way in to mine Looking for easy prey Rock the boat, cause a scene Create a matinee You needed a riot Before you walked away. Blemishes, I’m left with; Memories that won’t fade. More dark spots to conceal More emotions to hide. 27 whole days, I’ll wait in agony. For my whole skin to shed And get your marks off me. Take the scab that you made As your sweet souvenir Strike a pose, fake a smile A picture with your kill Wave it around the world Hang it up on your wall Easy come, easy go Like the good old pimple ..read more

Oblivion
According to Meron

Whatever death maybe, is it the end of me? Once I’m 6 feet under Will I go obsolete? Will I be forgotten? Will I be history? In the realm of the gone, Will I recognize me? Oblivion, the sublime Will I still feel your leer? From the eyes of the world Will my face disappear? Little by little Will my life fade away? Will my color vanish? Will my silhouette stay? A life lived in a haste A journey so futile Will it all be a waste Am I here just to die? Will life keep going on After the big good bye? Will my ashes be spread? Will I fly up so high? “Que sera sera” What will be ..read more
