    About this ebook

    A contemplative body of poetry that expands beyond the divinity within, touching on contemporary topics such as equality for women, careers, cultural norms, love and identity.
    Centrepiece is an invitation to the reader to contemplate their outward appearance when making the choice to wear an outwardly unhappy appearance when we simply don’t get what we want. Is there not a more beautiful garment we could wear from our wardrobe of emotions?

      Centrepiece - Simpy Kaur

      Realise

      -Purpose of living

      What is existence

      what is life

      what is my purpose

      someone tell me where I may immerse myself into something greater

      a pot of gold won’t do me any good

      if I don’t recognise my own value in this tiny world.

      -Confessions to myself

      My beautiful soul what have you become

      estranged from your prime-self to an unknown territory

      enraptured in anger when your ego is hurt

      dressed in stress when things don’t go your way

      drunk on jealousy when attention misses you

      befriending hate when negativity overwhelms you

      dancing to greed when materialism overpowers you

      engrossed in lust forgetting your true love

      true divinity

      from which your existence is forever bound to

      failing to recognise the façade you are blinded by

      you continue to waste this precious life away.

      -Under the influence

      The night was young, and so was my intellect

      my physical-self served the purpose of a lab

      experiments with substances

      all in the name of fun

      the racing dopamine pounding through my head

      a little more could do no harm

      oh the convincing lies

      a night of ecstasy made me love the world some more

      strangers befriended at night

      come tomorrow, the same faces

      become a blur of insignificance

      a slave to the enhancer of temporary joy

      the numbness in my legs

      from the hours on the dancefloor

      music to my ears appliqued my soul

      immeasurable doses piled in

      I didn’t want this feeling to end

      I’m wide awake now

      sleep has closed its doors

      and has no intention of welcoming me in

      the deteriorating mood needs a night cap

      a plant which serves a medicinal purpose

      is a gift from the heavens

      the spark of lighting up

      the rolled beauty was all I looked forward to

      my daily incense

      thought I was zen with every hit

      so oblivious to the snare

      which consumed my conscious within.

      -Daydreaming

      Panoramic views on this carriage

      take me to a place away from my present

      perfect endings and no tragedies

      the imagination of expectations for myself

      the perfect career feeding my account thousands

      the capital to fuel my travels

      I want to create an album of memories on tour

      I want to wear the trends
