Just something i wrote
The war within, it rages on, A battle fought, yet never won. I yearn to break these self-made chains, But stumble, fall, and rise in pain. A stranger to the man I'd be, Lost in this fog of misery. I push away the helping hand, And watch my castles turn to sand. Dreams once held so very dear, Now fade away, consumed by fear. The love I crave, the touch I need, Become the ghosts of hopes that bleed. I trudge along this lonely road, A heavy heart, a weary load. And though I fight with every breath, I'm haunted by the fear of death. This death of self, this slow decay, That steals my light and takes my day. But still, I walk, I cannot stop, Though lost within, I cannot stop. For even in this deep despair, A flicker of hope remains somewhere. A tiny spark, a distant gleam, That whispers of a brighter dream.

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.

Where Dawn and Longing Meet
Sometimes I wonder if, in another life, I’d watch dawn rise from Saturn’s rings, standing beside a feeling, soft and strange, wondering what it means to be seen. Or maybe that’s just how mornings go— waiting on dreams that softly glow, half-formed and playful, fading away, as light slips in to... read more

The Rose that Breaks in Silence
I am a rose, veiled in thorns, Silent petals torn at the seams, A scarlet cry, too quiet, too worn, Blooming alone in unwitnessed dreams. They ask if I’m fine, and I offer a smile, A nod, a lie they’re eager to hear; They take and they take, mile by mile, My heart, my strength, each layer of... read more

A Hollow Space
🌹 Do you feel it too? That quiet morning weight, when you wake, yet feel unlit, a hollow space where drive once was. The bed holds you soft and still, its warmth a gentle pull, and the world outside feels distant, like a place you’re not meant to go. Tasks wait, voices call, but they sound... read more

Continue the story, make it rhyme!
Rules are simple! Keep up the logic of the story (based on the last comment), and try to make it rhyme. It's going to be chaos 😂 I'll start: There once was a man, called Dane! He was bold. Kind of smelly! In his mustache, dry jelly, With a coat, gypsy hat, and a cane.

"Jealousy crept in like an unseen shadow, Eyes that once smiled turned cold and hollow. They couldn’t stand the sight of our joy, So they wove their plans, eager to destroy. But love isn’t fragile, even when it bends, Though they forced us apart, this isn’t the end. Nazar may have won for now, but... read more

Inside
Sacrificed my soul to take a star from the sky, placed it in your palm just to see beneath the truth hid all the lies. Pain deeper than any ocean, as infinite as life itself, Looking for all the pieces, while living in Hell. Stuck in an endless cycle of finding myself, never to open the doors to... read more

“The crowd is come to see the fool Receive his due reward - To watch his blood about red pool - An end to one abhorred. The blade serene, composed descends To grant him mercy swift.

I never named this one
Overcast skies Listlessly drifting from street to street Dull sodium lights guiding A tattered spector amidst A gentle rain A faint ray Illuminating A world Of vibrant greens and golds Gives way to endless night An abyss

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

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.”
