POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing poetry for over a decade, using it as a safe space to clear my mind. My work is raw and honest; exploring life’s emotions and struggles, while turning chaos into clarity through the power of words.

Silenced Violence
I didn’t know grief had a sound, until it echoed in the silence after the gunshot.
How could something so final, so brutal, happen so fast?
The tears felt so heavy but were pointless. Nothing could remove your bloodstain in the dirt.
I screamed at the ground, but the earth didn’t care,
So, I cursed at the heavens demanding he be spared.
The truth is we stand in a shooting range, and no one even flinches when the bullets start flying.
As kids play on the playground, which would soon be their graveyard.
Like bodies hitting the ground is just background...
