I feel distant from hope

like a soul that is separated

like an empty space

there is only me and uncertain thoughts

 

waiting for the end of the day

but wishing that there was no tomorrow

as if all my dreams are hard to achieve

and slowly my ambition fades

 

I feel like I see someone else inside me

I don't recognize her

little things feel new to me

All I hear are elusive echoes of self-depreciation and hatred. 

Tracing my memory back to precise occurrences of emotional distress and pain.

The nature of numbness bouncing through the walls of my mind. 

Will this arduous voice ever be silenced? 

No one knows better how to get under your skin than the mind enclosed beneath it. 

We take on the role of nurture or torture whenever we ...

I have so many Pinterest boards, they overwhelm me... but it’s necessary I check them every night before sleep. Gazing at the beautiful photos calms me, prepares me for rest.   It’s a mystery - drives hubby mad considering for hours... glittering jewels, intricate designs, glamourous clothes. Royal fashion icons addictively inspire imagination.   A girly t...

This parable is used here to portray Ribbentrop's mistake – especially his fatal misjudgment of the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, namely Operation Barbarossa.

On this day, eighty years ago, Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allied Forces, marking the end of a reign of terror that cost millions their lives. Yet today, as right-wing extremism rises again across Europe and beyond—w...

You wear your sins like royal thread,

a crown of thorns upon your head.

Your hands have built, your hands have torn,

they’ve held me close, they’ve left me worn.

 

The world cries out, it speaks your name,

etched in echoes carved by flame.

Yet in the dark, where no one sees,

you whisper love like dying leaves.

 

I hope it rains in hell—

not to quench your fire,

Beautiful to be fallen in a love with you my beloved

A union two twin flames

one old soul’s
shared nostalgia

our actions, how we react
an intertwined mind

an ordeal with life
born into circumstance

Your eays hold stars that light my way

A gently grow at the break of day.

Your touch is warmth, aspak to true

Like dawn's soft kiss and drops of dew.

Each Breath you take , a song so sweet

A melody where heartbeats meet.

Your laughter dances in the air

A whispered promise, light and rare.

Through  storm  aand sun , through time untord

Your love is fire, fierce yet gold.

I would prefer to not have a taste of being chosen if it is fragile enough to be taken away in a second.

Why do I always keep my heart keen? I must be colder. I have to be in order to survive. 

I don't understand men. They desire me one day and despise me another.

Unfortunately I am hungry to be the one. To be loved. To be desired.

At the surface level I adore men, I truly do.

“butterflies can’t see their own wings”

my wings were unique, folded and geometric

i felt proud, never hid them like a secret

i was called brave

i pulled my antennas over my eyes

i naively accepted compliments at face value (i belonged)

Inspired by Gerta Spieß’s haunting lines, “There’s nothing to be done,” this poem, The Weight of Indifference, examines the moral cost of inaction. It reveals how silence and apathy chain the oppressed and stain the conscience of the innocent. A call to confront the guilt born of indifference, it urges us to speak and act, even when trembling, for silence is the crime of care.

What marks the gu...

To Akshita,

 

You are my cousin, but those words don’t define
The bond we share, rare and divine.
More than family, you’re my truest friend,
A place where my chaos finds its end.

In childhood, you stood a little apart,
But time wove you deeply into my heart.
You didn’t play, we were just two names,
Yet now, we are one in life’s vast games.

Now you’re the one who sees my soul,

"To fly high" -  my dream, my creed,
To touch the skies with endless speed.
Since childhood I promised to rise,
To trace the clouds, to claim the skies.

The birds I cherished, graceful, free,
Now hold a different truth for me.
They fly with no true place to be,
Just motion framed by destiny.

But I, with maps and dreams so grand,
Now confused, unsure where I stand.
What if the path I’...

Through the eyes of a stranger,
I walk the crowded streets,
My thoughts hidden behind
A façade of indifference.
Always writing under breath
Each step the rhythm of a song

I listen for the murmurs,
The stories left half-told,
And with borrowed breath,
I weave their words into verse,
A silent chronicler,
Of lives intertwined.

Beneath the surface of each face,
A universe of fe...

It's morning. 

 

The peace I had is suddenly gone.

 

Creeping into my head is the anxiety and sorrow I always have.

 

Why couldn't I have slept longer?

 

Why do I have to wake up?

 

The day is too long,

 

The minutes feel like hours

 

The hours feel like days 

 

The days feel like weeks.

 

I can't stop this feeling.

Becoming slowly unrecognizable to yourself and others
Feelings and thoughts take
a hold, giving you the shudders
Memories and emotions that seem to flood your heart
Faces and places making it hard to know where to start
Decisions throughout the day, waiting to be made
Resting again in bed where it all just seems to fade
Urges of wanting help yet not knowing what to say
Triggers causing you...

May seem lonely or anti social for some
But having space to yourself - mostly all alone

A time of anticipation and kindness for others
Loving yourself by being your own best friend

Card and presents, wait to be opened, all in a line
Roses, chocolates and bottles of red wine

The restaurant booked, we drink and then we dine
Thinking that when we met, he must of made you mine

There's something about this season, Spring
Waking up to birds as they, sing
Trees and its blossom show subtle, pinks
Clouds and rain, for thr earth now drinks
The sun reappears, having such a glow
As if it were trying to say, hello
I go to the garden to walk around
To see what other things are found
Butterflies with their colorful wings
How this season holds such beautiful, things.

Going to bed then waking up late, what lies ahead?
We ask you fate
Jogs in the winter sun around the area,
Becoming healthy - losing weight
With hope in the vaccine and wanting to be immune
We look to this date
Remembering things of the past, finding comfort
Talking to a mate
Thinking what we have done and future plans
Good and bad times we know await.

No matter how much the shouting, its the inside worth counting
Never mind harsh words of a person, their actions could never worsen
Others with a listening ear, may take away the fear
The unknown goes on behind closed doors, hiding all the flaws
Love seemed a while away, yet so did the other day
Fondness comes after the trouble, back to how things were, a couple
Smiles are exchanged, somehow...

Letting someone else's light shine brighter than mine, isn't such a prideful crime,
I should listen to what people have to say, to have the attitude of 'come what may',
Speaking my mind being always kind, the truth is what I then, shall find,
I think, I think, I think too much, I would rather not about such and such,
I learned to appreciate from a distance, family and friends, I love within an...

Waiting patiently for my bubbles to burst, to stimulate my undying thirst.

he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal

had to-go

then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back

the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress

I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic

Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

Today I looked at my mirror image and didn’t turn away.

I scanned my face and physique without any harmful thoughts.

Taking an interest in the fabric that I wear, not the skin beneath it.

Seeing myself as a complex creature, not a simple sex doll.

Admiring the way my hair falls around my face and my necklace matches my earrings.

How my blue eyes stand out submerged in eye shadow and...
