POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I breathe in words and exhale worlds,finding joy in the rhythm of thoughts uncurled.I don’t just write—I ignite,giving voices a stage and shadows their light.Every poet, every writer,every soul with a story to tell—I’m here to lift them,
Truth and Lies
She's fighting her demons
There's war inside her head
She believes she's worthless
So she hides in her bed
She sees her reflection
In the mirror on her wall
She thinks she looks ugly
So tears begin to fall
She thinks she can't be loved
From mistakes in her past
Memories keep haunting
They seem to always last
She still hears the boy's words
Resounding in her ears
He said she is too fat
That added to her fears
That made her to stop eating
But it just made her sick
So she tried using pills
But her gut...

Don't Let Your Dreams Dry Out
Young man and young woman die young because they are not living up to their dreams.
Life for them is just a trial and error, a piece of scene they just getting along with.
They are not living up to their potential,
Chasing after every opportunities that speed passes them like a lightning flashing their eyes in a fraction of a milliseconds,
While their reciting the laws of physics as the retina in the back of the eyes decoding every bit of information,
Transmitting it to be interpreted by the brain to get a clear picture of their so called "dream life ",only...

Faded Like Tears In The Rain
I'm writing this poem with a red pen, with blood from my broken heart as ink
They say time's supposed to heal
But fuck it's moving like a snail
I miss her so bad went looking for her yesterday
And it's funny how everyone told me I just missed her like they knew
Now I'm here regretting all her birthdays I missed
Would tell her I'm coming but i was just
like those people faking orgasm
Now I'm falling like Autumn leaves
Going through the coldest of winter
Hoping life will spring up
Heart broken praying my heart will get back to its original shape...

IDENTITY
THE REALITY IS
We are imperfect to this world, no matter how righteous we try to adjust ourselves to it.
It will always find a fault in our strongest ability which can easily drift us away from our real Identity,that's if we follow through.
There's a saying that says "you will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thought". Stop looking at how the world sees you, cause the TRUTH is, living according to the standard of this world of which you will never fit in will eventually define who you are.
Stop obsessing of...

How dare you
How dare you walk into my life in midnight
Causing confusion in the world of mine
Digging deep inside my body to steal the precious
heart of mine
Like it was a diamond deep in the mine
Now you got my heart, no longer mine
You weakened my wall by holding my hand
By being the girl that I miss
And showing you care in just one kiss.
How dare you walk into my life through the back door
and unannounced
Leaving me dreaming of every moment
we've spent together and thinking of every ounce
Of desire I feel to...
