Shift
Once there was a beast, A villain. Once I would have run, but now we're chillin'. Just a good girl and her demon. I'm gonna let you in on how we're feelin'. Did what I could, to get to where we wanted to go. Swinging misses at the goal. Impossible. Fighting all these years, with nothing to show. With only one side of the coin, I couldn't grow. I was playing the wrong game. Thinking all lives go the same. That someone would choose me. That I could be happy. Floating when I should have been stinging. Crying when I should have been singing, My praises. Tied laces. Curves in the right places. My beauty. My power. Yes, all that is ours. I was too blinded to see, that those ones weren't worthy. I wasted all my time waiting, my choices, I'm shaming. See, she spent our nights plaguing me. Screaming, Begging me. All these years I've been saying no. Being who I was supposed to be, you know? Thought she was the source of my fear. She tried to tell me the truth, but I could not hear. Thought she was the one the one that killed my dreams. But things are not all how they seem.. Now with my new obsession, I have a confession. I have been letting her out. Curious, what the fuss was about.. Thought she was my depression My pent up aggression. The latter yes she is.. But all she longs for is to be his. Selfish, impulsive, I found her repulsive. Now that's all we are, are we thinking too far? Hot passion, Jealousy. It's all new to me. But here with you she, is finally free.. Dreams replaced by nightmares. Finding that my tears, were not hers, they are mine. She says being selfish is fine, When you have done your best to be good, doing all you vowed you would. So I'll try to sit back, relax. While she goes on and attacks, All the things I've given up. Sipping hot tea from my cup. Yes, I think I'll let her be, As the demon, she fights for me. (edited)

River of time
If time is a river, Then take me upstream To the days I remember When we still dared to dream If time is a river, Then take me back home, Like a salmon returning upriver To that land I used to roam The boat is our memories, Don't let it slip away I'll meet you back upriver At that wonderful day (edited)

The Firefly’s Glow
In the cradle of night, the firefly hums, A lantern small, where darkness comes. Its fragile light, a fleeting flare, Burns the veil of the heavy air. But when the sun ascends the sky, Its glow is lost, it passes by. A simple insect in daylight's gleam, Its radiance fades, like a forgotten... read more

Mankind is Alone
Man is alone. In the universe unknown. All on our own, we look for meaning from sky to stone. But it’s not there, I swear purpose is rare. This life is a nightmare in the middle of nowhere I despair. It seems like our only uses warfare. It’s unfair that we’re so isolated, located in a system... read more

The Beauty Within the Void
Loneliness lingers, a cold, hollow ache, A shadow that follows each step we take. Its silence deafens, its weight pulls deep, A restless ghost that won’t let us sleep. Yet in the stillness, when the world grows small, There’s space to hear your own heart’s call. The echoes that once felt sharp and... (edited) read more

Her Beauty
A beauty far beyond sight, Your countenance, a blessing from above, like moonlight. It brightens the world with your smile, Your posture, a bloom with exquisite style. Your hair, soft and flowing like a river of silk, Envious I am of the wind as it fondles your tendrils' silk. In... read more

"With every breath, her essence fills the air, A scent so sweet, it clings, it lingers near, And in its trail, her visage lingers there, Her image, vivid, tender, sharp, sincere. Her eyes, deep wells where secrets softly dwell, Alluring pools that draw my spirit in, A labyrinth where I am bound to... read more

Commitment
Maine commitment to, Kardiya ki kabhi mujhe nahi hoga pyaar. Par kya karu jab dekha maine tujhe, Aisa laga ki dekhi ho maine sundari. yaad aaya ki are apni toh shakal hi gandi hai, Par kya karu jab bhi tujhe dekhta hu to dub jata hu tere aankon mai.

Whispers of Tomorrow
🌹 In the still of night, I hear a sound, A whisper of futures yet unfound. The weight of time, it presses near, Filling my heart with trembling fear. Will I survive, this winding road? Shoulders bent beneath life's load. Will success greet me with a smile? Or will I wander a lonesome mile? A... read more

Poetry
I could belong to a million worlds, drift through countless galaxies, but if you don’t look at me like I’m the only star in your sky, it feels like my light dims, like I’m somehow less. And is there anything more painful, more corrosive, than measuring yourself by someone else’s gaze? Maybe it's... read more

I love you like comfy clothes and soft socks

Unknown Place
🌹 Have you ever wanted to run, to vanish beyond familiar streets, to shed the weight of known faces, and step into a place where no one calls your name? A quiet dream, a pull to distant horizons, where silence wraps around like comfort, and every path feels new, untouched. Not for escape, but... read more

“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

When asked, "Tell me about the one who got away."
I sigh deeply.. Because your existence in my life was temporary.. I often wish that you never took that drive.. Because then you'd still be with me, and alive.. One moment you were here.. 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.”

Nest
Nest a place of peace and calm. harmony with even the most painful of emotions. waves like crashing oceans. my home and my tomb. as empty as my womb. for some reason my heart carries hope even while dark clouds loom.

Alone
Being locked away is worse when you're alone, times slows and makes existing unbearable. Watching the seconds tick by counting every breath until you're free to walk the world alone again. I don't know which is worse; being in here or out there. One thing I do know is no matter what being alone is... read more
