I am a writer I must Confess.

I’ve decided to try out poetry, here’s my first trial.

I am a writer, I must confess
My words, my stories, they are a mess
Sometimes I write, sometimes I don’t
But mostly, my laptop is my remote

I sit at my desk, with coffee in hand
My imagination, it knows no end
Characters come to life, in my head
I love to write, it’s how I am fed

Sometimes I write a romance tale
Where love prevails, despite the gale
Other times, I write about crime
But mostly, my stories take their own time

I have a knack for creating worlds
Where fairies sing and witches swirl
My stories can be funny or deep
But mostly, I like to give them a unique leap

I write in the dark, with all the lights off
My fingers dance, like a bird aloft
I type and type, until my eyes go blurry
But still, I love it, there’s nothing to worry

There are days, when my mind is a blank
I stare at the screen, with my heart sank
But then, I take a deep breath in
And I let my imagination win

I am a writer, it’s what I am
I write for joy, not for any scam
I write for all those who need an escape
And for those who love to live beyond their shape

My characters are crazy, but they are mine
I make them laugh, I make them fine
In my stories, anything can happen
And I love to write, with my pen tappin’

P.S.: This poem may be long, but that’s how I write
I am a writer, and I will never take my light

Five battalions. Against an adversary that has been on a war footing for four years, that deploys 8,000 kamikaze drones per day in Ukraine, and that has …
  • Only 16% of European Citizens Still Consider the United States An Ally
    In November 2025, the European Council on Foreign Relations surveyed Europeans about their view of the United States. Only 16 percent still considered the United States an ally. That’s down from 22 percent eight months earlier. Twenty percent now consider the United States a rival or adversary. In Germany, France, and Spain, that number approaches 30 percent. NATO was built on the premise that Europe …
  • Nuclear Bomb Domino
    Iran’s nuclear facilities were bombed. The IAEA says the sites weren’t destroyed. Iran still holds 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk says Iran’s capacity was “marginally degraded” but the incentives to go nuclear have “gone through the roof.” Iran goes nuclear. Saudi Arabia, which signed a mutual defence agreement with nuclear-armed Pakistan in September 2025 and …
