"The Brotherhood of Empty Spaces"
A Poem by me. Go easy, it was my first. Actually, dont go easy, be honest. We are a generation of men raised by fathers who couldn't cry, now drowning in digital oceans of filtered happiness and staged connections, double-tapping other people's joy while our own phones stay silent. Twenty-six rotations around loneliness, and I've mastered the art of looking busy in empty rooms, of crafting careful texts that sit in draft folders, too afraid of seeming desperate to press send. We watch through screens as others build lives we were never taught to reach for, clutching steering wheels at midnight, circling blocks that hold no welcome lights, no waiting doors. In break rooms and bar stools, we perfect the casual nod, the surface-level smile, while underneath we're screaming in frequencies only stray dogs can hear. Experts at small talk that never bridges the void. Our fathers left us manuals for fixing cars but not broken hearts, taught us to build walls but not the doors through them, showed us how to earn living but not how to live. We are the invisible men, carrying oceans of unsaid things, drinking courage from bottles until our livers fail, because nobody taught us how to swallow fear without drowning. In gym locker rooms and office cubicles, we're all performing strength while our knuckles turn white from holding on to something we can't even name. At night, we clutch pillows like life rafts, scrolling through feeds of bachelor parties and fishing trips, wondering why brotherhood feels like a foreign language we were never taught to speak. They say men don't know how to love each other properly, how to hold space for pain without trying to fix it, how to say "I'm not okay" without feeling the ground crumble beneath our feet. But in hospital waiting rooms, and empty parking lots, in the spaces between midnight and morning, we're all just boys looking for permission to be human. Some nights, I catch my reflection in black windows, see every man who's ever swallowed his tears, killed his softness, buried his need beneath metrics and measurements of success. We are learning, slowly, that strength isn't in silence, that healing doesn't make us weak, that reaching out doesn't make us less. But god, the learning comes at such a cost. In this digital age of infinite connection, we are a brotherhood of empty spaces, of unspoken understanding, of hands that want to reach out but hover, uncertain, over keyboards and phones. Maybe it starts here, with one man saying "I clutch my pillow at night," and another whispering back "Me too, brother. Me too."

Black heart is deepest red
Colours, they shine bright, Prism of my heart. I see it glow And mean So much more, That when I close my eyes, I see black. The darkest shades of all that's nice, The gothic way of love. The pretty ways that I might die, When you say you're in love. I'm the dark And I can shine... read more

When Will I Be Enough?
🌹 How can I be enough to deserve the things others have? I see their lives—whole, shining, while mine feels like fragments, scattered by winds I cannot tame. I am not perfect, but I know the love I give is real. I am a good daughter, soft-spoken, steady, shouldering the weight without... read more

Love is irrational.

Fear, a phantom, ever near, Tears unseen, a constant tear. Soul ablaze, a silent scream, While lips betray, a placid dream. This endless war, a weary plight, Lost in the shadows, day and night

"Whispers of the Lonely Night"
Beneath the veil of a moonlit sky, The world is quiet, shadows sigh. Stars whisper secrets, cold and deep, As loneliness stirs where dreams should sleep. The wind hums low, a mournful tune, A dance of sorrow with the moon. Yet in the stillness, hearts ignite, Finding solace in the lonely night.

Empty Words
You said you loved me, soft and sweet, A promise we barely had time to meet. But love’s not real in words alone, It’s in the care and actions shown.

I looked at the tombstone, cold and bare, And all it spoke was love’s despair- To love, to be loved, to hold for a while, Behind me, the sky was bare, A canvas stretched by emptiness Men and women, faceless, Feeding hunger that never knew a soul. The sun bowed down, the hours slipped away, But... read more

As fireworks light up the midnight sky, Others rejoice, with hopes of a new high. But I see through the haze, to the truth below, New beginnings are illusions, and I'm stuck in the woe. I wish I could believe, in the promise of a fresh start, But reality's heavy chains, hold me captive in my heart.
