E.D. Emerling

Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood?

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Exotic in Poetry

He calls her “exotic”. He enunciates each syllable with percussion. Te. Te. Te. Three taps on the congas. But, she’s not just different or foreign. She’s exotic. Her skin– a burnt orange. Her hai...

I haven’t slept for a long time. I think it may have only been two days, but I feel like I’m going crazy, so it’s no surprise I can’t remember. At 6am on Monday I went for a walk in the park beca...

How are people happy in college? I think I’ve found the source of my discomfort, and that is that I don’t have a life when I’m in college. I live in a shitty apartment/room without friends, fam...

Sestina #1 in Poetry

Sardonic symphony rendered like a slimy peach– Fresh and sweet; I like mine refined, neat. Twist twice, remove. I abhor the news. Mark those who call them booze. For I shall pelt them with “boo“‘...

The Price of Diligence in Poetry

Arab sword stuck deep in my gut. Rusted shut with puss, wound ready to gush. Gushing from its cocoon– Bursting big salient balloon. Burning bright, the star ascends– a sign of respite, my only bo...

If you ask my mom, she’d, in all likelihood, say that I spend all of my time in the library. But, she would be wrong. I spend all of my time in my room– as if I were a prisoner. Honestly, if you ...

Sooooo, it’s been a while. 19 days. Really pushin’ the limit there, friend. Things haven’t gotten significantly better. London has not grown on me. However, I feel less aimless nowadays. I keep c...

Wooooeeeee… It’s been a while. Over the winter break, my mom and brother came to visit me in Europe. They came to stay with me in London for 3 days. Then, we went to Nice, France and stayed for a...

Mama Molds in Poetry

Mama wants you/ to follow your dream. My dream is to lead/ a mighty regime. To be a leader,/ you can’t be so soft-spoken. I’ll be a doctor/ and fix things that are broken. That’ll be hard,/ and a...


It’s snowing in London. It’s my first year living here, but I’ve been told it hasn’t snowed in London in years, which then makes my experience here a bit more exciting. And, as I sit at my desk, ...

With my cousin visiting, London has become a more foreign place– a place so different from my home and a place I have left woefully unexplored for the past 2 months. However, I feel that if I set...

The days I spend apart from this wretched media grow longer. It is only with the twiddle of my restless thumbs that I resort to its amateur solace. But, for what reason should a student twiddle h...

This weekend was fun. I went to Hounslow to play a couple of baseball games. I really love playing baseball. Maybe it’s nostalgia since I’ve played it since I was 4, but it’s such a fun game. Or,...

I am 20 years old. I am a college student. Already, my mom hounds me constantly about when I am going to give her grandchildren. If you’ve read any of my previous journal entries or scribbles, yo...

Yesterday, I had to read a few scientific papers and write an essay, so I didn’t have time for a journal entry. I actually kinda liked it. Maybe it’s not neuroscience or medicine that I’ve always...

It’s been a boring day, so no need to describe it in detail. I woke up at noon, watched Netflix, scrolled through Pinterest, and took notes on an “Infection” lecture. I would, however, like to vo...

November 17, 2017 in Journal 1

As I said yesterday, I feel like I’m coming out of the funk. Unfortunately, I’ve woken up to find that I lost interest in all of the things I have invested my life in. This depression is like a h...

In a Dog-Eat-Dog World in Short Stories

The solitary mind is a vulnerable thing. Rare delusions which doubtless infiltrate one’s grasp on logic and rationality are only compounded by the asexual reproduction of thought. Like metastatic...

November 16, 2017 in Journal 1

I think I may be coming out of it now, or at least I feel like I’m more able to live a healthy life despite its weight on my shoulders. I feel like I’ve found my way out a bit sooner than I usual...
