POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My pen is my compass, and my heart is my guide. I love to explore the depths of human emotion and experience, and then craft them into poems that touch the soul.
Self Harm
I texted my ex at midnight again. She didn't reply again. But that's fine I'll wait a few weeks and try again.
I just binged Bojack Horseman. I put the "That's Too Much, Man!" episode on loop. The sinking gut feeling I get from it leaves a sweet and sour taste in my mouth.

Rhyme and Rhythm
So, I got dragged out last night for drinks at a hotel in Jabi with this friend I've been making and canceling plans with for a while now. 30 minutes into our hangout, she gets a call and apologizes profusely about the fact that she has to bounce. It was some sort of emergency, I think.
I decided to ride the whole night through because I didn't get on the road for close to 45 minutes to be going back after 30 minutes. So, I continued sipping on my drink and chuckling at TikTok videos. After a while, this chic walks up to me and asks if the seat next to me was taken. "Not anymore," I...

He wanted to say...
Seated on the front roll
Chin elevated
Eyes sweeping the lecture hall's ceiling
Thinking perhaps of the writing on the board?
No!

Mouth opens slightly
And let out a groan accompanied with the words;
Why am I here?...
Deep Introspection were Ill advised in this particular class
As the lecturer snatched him clean off his daydreaming with a roar
"Come tell the class what you're thinking about" he said, giving him the mic
So there he was standing in front of his peers shell shocked...
