INTJ
It’s pouring out. One of those days where you hear everything. The wind gusts, and the continuous tapping of droplets lulls you into a trance. Those days when you think back to your younger years, when a rainy day meant a cozy day inside—curled up with a book, a playlist, and a window to lean against. And as you grow, as the years pass by… A rainy day starts to feel different. It no longer feels like something you can slip into, leaving your stresses burrowed in every drop. Instead, it amplifies your burdens. With age comes an awareness that nothing is as kind or soft as it once seemed. That loud, boisterous rain no longer sounds peaceful from the inner walls of your bedroom, pitter-pattering against the windowpane. Instead, it serves as a reminder of what you must step out into—a world weighed down by so much pain and darkness. A world that never seems to get a break, where you wonder, It can’t possibly get much worse than this, right? Let us breathe for a moment… A rainy day no longer feels like a peaceful hibernation from the mundane or the silly. Rather, it’s a reminder that even the world cries too. “So why not cry with me? It’s okay to mourn what was and have hope for what can be. You do not have to punish yourself for existing in a place with a harsh undertone and only a glimmer of light. For that is duality. So when I cry, know that I am releasing. It is time for rest. Rest from a place that holds so much in—until something has to give. Rest from a place that releases so that a glimmer can have its chance. You knew this when you were younger. You played in the release because you felt it. You stomped and jumped in my pools of tears, laughed and giggled with a smile so bright that my heart beamed in seven colors. You even settled into the release—your chest sinking in, your breaths deep and slow— listening to the sounds of your emotions, watching as I let it all run out. If you want more glimmers, focus on putting more into that frequency. And when I cry, you cry too. Cry out the loops and feeds that no longer bring you peace. Lean into the burrowed walls of your inner sanctity. Just like you, I can only take so much of one before I must release the other. Because even the world cries too. But when the world cries— it’s a chance to start anew.”

You said I was safe, then lit the match. Loved me so soft, then pulled it back. You hold my soul like something small, just big enough to break and fall. I miss you loud, in quiet rooms. Your name still hangs like heavy perfume. And I still dream in black and blue, of love that hurts but feels... read more

The forest waits without mercy, Thorns scrape skin, but touch feels thin. Shadows stretch like distant traps, Loud echo, but not within. The wolf passes through me into the trees, Survival drifts through night and day, No armor worn, no sound to weigh. A steady pulse I feel and see, The ghost... read more

Blue fox of peace and acceptance, eyes shut, no tears, no fight. A flame wakes up, burns within causing her pain day and night. She swallows hard her tears, caused by griefs ache and fear, hoping claiming calm will keep them at bay, but the burning, the burning comes out to play. Sometimes it... read more

Youre so beautiful And the only one. How you bring light to other's hearts. While going from bright to dim orange. And finally a death blue. I know you. Cause I'm the setting sun. I know your sadness. When your rays hit me. I feel it in my bones. You have love to give but non to gain You yearn... read more

They say loaves of bread Have the weight of their maker The fluff of the tufts on their head But I know a man He's a bald-headed baker With callouses sewn to his hand He can't eat enough for his children are many He works from the dawn to the stars But still he's as giddy When he sees his... read more

Climbing mountains. That’s what it felt like. But the mountains were sharp. Not the kind of gradual sharp, up a steady incline— the kind of sharp that cut through you… down to your bones. And— It was like every step— reach, tear, drag, claw, brace, heave… cut deeper and deeper. What’s the... read more

I'm always friend but never ever lover Just funny girl with many wounds inside. I am a sister. Buddy. I am just offsider. Or outsider and mistake of life?

"My letters to you surpass you and me. Because the light is more important than the lantern. The poem more than the book. The kiss more than the lip. My letters to you... Are more important than you and me. They're the only documents that people will discover... Your beauty.. And my madness.”

Q tum sirf yaadon m aati ho, Q tum sapno m aakr tdpati ho, Q apni parchai chord gye is dil m. Kabhi to aao samne, Dil khol kr tumhe dekhna chahte h, Tumhare sath kuch pal bitana chahte h. Mana thode pagal h, Pr dil ke saf h.
