NUMB

It's been peaceful these past months, 

My tempest of emotions is calm,  it finally feels like I'm breathing again.

I've found solace in myself and the idea of living, yes this is what I want. 

I've received the promises and seen visions of what lies ahead.

A drop in the ocean, a glimpse into the future; awaiting the day it comes to fruition 

How, when, and where? These thoughts cloud my head

Don't miss the signs he says, that's your mission. 

I open my ears and pray with my eyes open to see clearly,

But I think I've clogged my tear ducts. Hence, the reason for these eye aches.

I've listened too keenly, my ears are flooded with wax.

Need to open the floodgates as soon as possible, 

Need a break from everything. 

A journey into a mental trance.

Too tired to dream, pray or sleep. 

I just need some days off, I'll be back I promise.

Alcohol? Or trees I've never felled? (Pun intended) Could it be music or food? Quite close but I honestly can't tell  One fateful day, I wrote, and my heart felt loose, open and warm. Could this be it? My muse is my heart? I try again but this time my heart was cold and this communicated something to my inner self. I decided to write about an old feeling, an acquaintance

Majeeed’s Bittersweet EP: A Blend of Black Coffee and Fermented Sugarcane Juice (Rum)

     PC: IG @Majeeedofficial The project begins with a dreamy instrumental and choral rendition appealing to the soft spot of the inner mental ears. This helps you relax into the mood the sensational singer wants you to feel.  On the first track -" How I care ", Majeed sings out the words of affirmation expressed to him by his lover, declaring the choice of language they've chosen to display deep affection towards him. This track brings out the first squeeze of the fermented sugarcane juice that leaves you in a trance-like state of awe while imagining life on an island with a child-like form of love that comes from the purest depths of the heart.  The monologue right at the end of the first track makes it known that Majeed has indeed written the songs on this masterpiece from a place of deep reflections and realities. One of the prominent lines that draw attention is his modification of a quote from the prominent writer Oscar Wilde, which he uses to emphasize
