One asks, what is the language of silence ? One says its the mother tongue  What do I say when my mother tongues are more than one? A chaos in silence One asks what is the language of thoughts ? One says its the mother tongue  I say, to give thoughts a language is to constrict them I don’t know…

THE SONG OF ACHILLES- A 16-Year-Old’s Review

RATING: ✭✭✭✭✭/5 stars “I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth.

I can hear my heart thumping. The cage around it might just break with the strength of its palpitations. My hands are ice cold. I blow a puff of my shaky breath into them trying to warm them up. Yet they just tremble in response. My head is in a frenzy, I hadn’t paid attention to what my friends were saying…

This one’s for you. A note of hope. I…
