IN SILENCENot sure when it started at 6 staying
out of a brutally violent household
taking to the unforgiving streets.
The streets became my teacher and
family albeit dangerous life lessons
learned from a merciless source.
Spiritual and corporal sorrow from father’s
beatings, his cruel degradation too much to
bear, as everyone stood by watching me bleed.
At 13, befriending teens from troubled homes,...

To the FlowersOh! flowers why are you spreading,
Fragrance and beauty without any cost ?
You are being sold in market at a cost,
Your quality and your beauty are selling.
Oh! flowers why do you spread your blooming,
Fragrance and beauty without any cost?
They give you to dears to show their host,
The guest sees your charm and feel...

HER SILENT TAUNTSShe wakes up in the morning with a bright smile,
Not knowing what sleep is - just a word spoken around.
So many voices echo in her ears saying "end it all,"
Fighting battles sometimes she can't even recall.
She will always be more than enough,
Even when things get tough.
Socialising is her greatest enemy,
Leaps through storms just to find...

In the Shadow of the ChalkboardIn halls where silence speaks louder than words,
I stand, a beacon amidst the unseen.
Their gazes, sharp as unspoken swords,
Pierce through the facade, where I've always been.
Once, my voice resonated with pride,
Now, it's drowned by murmurs and disdain.
Yet, I endure, with dignity as my guide,
In a place where respect is hard to attain.
But within me, a...

chanting hypocritesthey chant-and they chant
but do they know the words true meaning?
they wear the colours that show their support
but do they know what these colours represent?
they wave their flags but not of their own
some may say this is an act of treason?
the words they chant are against a certain ideology-
but it's that ideology that gives...

My HabitMy Habit
You say I eat a lot—
But a lot eats me.
I got stress I can’t tame,
Hate that drives me insane.
So many therapists I can't name,
Yet still love you and can't cause you shame.
Before you judge me based on my order,
Saying I have an eating disorder—
Ask:
What the hell in this world is in order?...

Sisyphus’ LamentSisyphus’ Lament
I took each hard punch
And swallowed each raw pill.
But you said it wasn’t a fair fight
And I agree,
But you didn’t watch
My tears each night,
No, they weren’t
For you to see.
And I agree,
So you watched me
Push that boulder
Up that hill
With a sickened grin of evil glee....

A MAN TO KILL MENHere is a man who sub-dues the com-mon,
He rears an ar-my to keep a grim weap-on,
He crafts bombs that scare,
All types meant to tear,
And kills in the streets till the dawn, on

The Letter saidDearest Tenser:
Told you I would write you about the weekend.
Pray for them flood peoples and all. But got some news for ya.

She went inside and started cooking. Acting like...

The Silent ScreamsThere are voices all around us
Not loud, not obvious,
But aching to be heard.
Within this poem lies three unheard stories
Three souls, each silenced by society
A woman who smiles in fear.
A boy punished for love.
And a girl whose dreams shrink in the shadows.
Their pain is different,
But their silence is the same.
This poem is for them
For the unheard,...

GANGSTALKING AND ABUSEGangstalking is very inhumane
Almost always leaving you insane
Nobody seems to help or care
Onlookers just sit and stare
Echoes of fear, no place to be free
Puzzled by what they hear and see
Lost in shadows, yearning for dawn
Victims missing and presumed gone
Dreams whispered, seeking a sign
Unpleasant life is anything but fine
Echoes of hope, faint but still alive
Unaware of...

UNITED DISGRACE OF AMERICANow how can this truly be
After so many complaints that the public can’t see
There are victims here a there
And people have been known to stare
Victims whose torture is day and day out
Making a good many people shout
The torture has no rhyme or reason
And can happen during any season
Victims lives fall into the wrong hand
Rendering the...

They took my money again!
When will it end?
Lunch money is gone.
Even the milk money,
Not very funny.
Left my bus token,
To get home.
Now I'm hungry,
And all alone.
I'm...

AM I Right
Why am I disturbed by the sight?
Everyone having a fight.
Lost in beliefs they are right.
Never listening to the others light.
The others must be wrong.
Don't look like us or very strong.
Instead, we fight,
