'Precious'

Hey guys! So sorry for not updating my blog for ages.

Semester break just started and I guess it's high time for some fresh new stuff. Well not that I have a lot of update and I'm still stuck in M'sia, so I have pretty much nothing to say about my life. HAHA

But anyhow, I'd finally watched a movie called 'Precious' based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire and this is a heartbreaking story but the warmth you get out of it is worth the watch. It's not like any typical Hollywood films or flicks. It is based on a real-life scenario where nothing is always beautiful and glamorous as it supposed to portray on TV. So, I would definitely recommend you guys to watch it. It's abt determination and strong will in overcoming life's worst situations, most of all, you gotta believe in yourself. A story about abuse, incest, emotional attachment and trust will surely capture the sensitive side if yours. The best part is, Mariah Carey's performance in it is exceptionally fantastic. =)

Here's a poem I wrote after watching the show. It's called Sapphire in the dark.

She has a heart.

A heart that tells a million raining stories.

One after another,

Drip, drip and drip.

Raining in the dark .

Where darkness is her light,

Like her heart, she pushes.

To the precious gem,

Sapphire gleams.

Based on the movie 'Precious', written based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire.

Life is all a joke.

(A Joke)


When life I questioned,

It gave me wilted flowers.

When fate I questioned,

It gave me stormy weather.

A question I had once, Tragedy answered the call.

Eternity belongs to the immortal.

It is only,

A matter of time.

We will be together.

That’s the truth,

That’s a joke.


This is probably one of the darkest poem I've ever wrote.
