Lost
What is the meaning of being lost? Is it wandering through endless corridors of the mind, Where every turn leads to another question, another doubt? How can we get lost when we are happy? Isn't happiness the anchor, the light that guides us home? Yet, even in joy, we can drift, unmoored, As if happiness itself is a fleeting shadow, A mirage that vanishes the closer we get. Lost is so much more than just a feeling; it is an experience. It's a descent into the unknown, where time loses its grip, And you float, suspended in the vastness of uncertainty. It's scary, this floating in nothingness, Where the familiar becomes foreign, and the self becomes a stranger. It is being sad, yet at the same time, feeling nothing, A hollow ache that echoes in the chambers of your heart, But yet, paradoxically, it can be beautiful. Beautiful? Yes, beautiful. For in being lost, we are stripped of the illusions that bind us, We shed the layers that we thought defined us, Until all that remains is the raw essence of who we are. In the void, we find a quiet space where the soul breathes, Where the noise of the world fades, and we listen to the whispers within. When we are lost, we are on the edge of discovery, For one day, we know we will be truly found. How can you be truly yourself if you have never once lost yourself? How can you be whole if you've never felt the fractures? How can you be happy without sadness to measure it against? To be lost is to wander through the landscapes of the soul, To stumble upon the hidden corners of your being, To confront the shadows and embrace the light that breaks through. In losing ourselves, we find the path back to our truest selves, And in that return, we are no longer the same, We are reborn, renewed, and ready to face the world once more. For the beauty of being lost is not in the losing, But in the profound act of being found.

Heartbreak Heartbreak is often seen in a negative light, as something that only hurts and scars you. People lose themselves after heartbreak, they start questioning themselves, the love they so long believed in, was it all even true, how could this have happend? Heartbreak is painful, there is no question of that. It tears open the heart and soul, and you start to lose grip on what you though to be true. Yet, heartbreak is also positive. How can you truly be yourself, if you have never once lost yourself? How do you know where you begin and end, if you've never reached those boundries? How do you know you, if you've never questioned you? For people to truly change, deep within their hearts and souls, they must first be able to reach those places, to even dream of new a goal. To improve and rebuild, you must first tear something down. As you cannot build anew, in a place that already holds a town. Buildings of you stand strong and tall, and their walls solid like rock. You can't pass through, these walls of you. To cast a new road to your goal, you must first tear down a piece of your soul. Heartbreak is only a tool, allowing you to become more true. (edited)

Looking back at the road just traveled, I can’t help but ponder my decisions, To reflect on all the hurt and pain I had endured, Just staring at that treacherous road, The one I alone conquered. Breathe. But instead I scream, Screaming at the sky asking why me. The scars are deep and I... read more

as my breath grows shallow, I see a light shine brighter. I see my body like in and out of body experience and walk towards the light. I see a beautiful place with daisies on the ground.

Weightless
🌹 Sometimes I wish to be weightless, to let go of all the questions, the tangled paths of choices made, and drift, free from worry’s grip. To set down the burden of feeling, to fold up doubt and tuck it away, and for a while, live untouched, as if heartache were just a story. A pause from... read more

What was it?
As I stared at the man in the mirror, I felt inadequate of the words to paint his pain. What had he given for love? What did he sacrifice for a kiss? What corners of the world has he left out in search of his love? What God has he served to keep him safe? What drugs had he taken to keep himself... read more

If love doesnt appear don't worry yourself, you can invest time on yourself doing things you like. Of course i won't deny we all want to feel loved, but curiously love appears mostly when we don't expect It.

Ripples of Morning
Sunrise paints the sky in gold, Waves whisper stories, quiet and old. Otters play in dawn’s soft grace, Ripples dance, a gentle embrace.

“still alive” poem by me
I’m tired of being tired. I want it to be my turn. Worried free, stress free. I say to myself “what’s a little more hunger” as I’m already losing weight. I hate dealing with my depression but I have to. Until I feel better. Therapy appointments get me all choked up but I still go to help me. My... read more

The next, crushed by drunk driver left alone and in your last moments probably riddled with fear.. So to the... read more

The Whisper of Peace
What is peace? A soft-spoken wish, a sigh in the night, A dream we cradle but seldom hold tight. It’s more than the silence that follows a storm, It’s the warmth of our hands as we choose to transform. Peace is the fabric that weaves through our days, In the kindness exchanged, in the gentlest... read more

Quote from my most recent poem “Pointless”
“In silence I ponder, in darkness I drown, The echoes of laughter, now a haunting sound. To throw it all away, to sever the ties, To leave all the pain, beneath endless skies.”
