<p><em>(After Pamilerin Jacob’s There are no Emergency Rooms for the Soul)</em></p>



<p>The sky is the best place to find answers,<br>Answers to the mystery behind a trembling soul.<br>Everynight my body becomes a temple where a figure worships in ecstasy.</p>



<p>In my local dialect, rain and fear are spelt the same but different pronunciation.<br>I must have asked the sky in supplication for fear instead of rain.<br>A rain to wash this memory off me,<br>A rain to quench this burning feelings that a certain eye lurks in every darkness.</p>



<p>Fear is a disease I’m prone to<br>I twitch like I’m epileptic muttering unknown words.</p>



<p>Darkness is a type of aphasia<br>That hinders me from pronouncing words the right way.</p>

 <div class="be-author-meta be-author-description">I am that voice that cries from the wilderness of thought, 
I am he that was stripped off his weaknesses, nakedly I walked into my full potentials. 
I am he whose tortured veins were burst opened by creativity, 
I am he that feeds the mind of people with the riches of his words cos ideas are the food my astute mind produce. 
I am engineer kay, 
An hyperopic dwarf that chooses to sit on the shoulder of giants.</div>
