strange is only strange because it’s not your everyday cup of coffee.
It’s a punch of lemons, in a cocktail of many truths and
a handful of ice cubes to cool the adventures that your train of thoughts may have never imagined.
People fear what they don’t understand
so I feast off of the nightmares in their thoughts of thoughts
like preys, they tremble at the sight of my “weird” so I share a smile.
Smiles are the thickest curtains that draw the line between what meets the eye
the untamed realities that exist passed those lips.
Bizarre is the new word to mean
” I am uncomfortable with your unique perspective ”
or “I would have liked it better if your train of thoughts didn’t make me feel threatened.”
So when You are called bizarre when you fail to fit in the box the society customized for you .
Mystery is part of the package and this for me is my favorite part on the menu.
It’s brilliant to keep those around in the dark
as the luxury of privacy in a century void of secrets blossoms.
What is creepier than sharing your every life corner with strangers
just to quench your thirst for acceptance especially from the shadow in the mirror?!

and a good name is worth more than gold
but my question is, “who qualifies a good name?”
