To be freeWhen chains do bind a body tight,
It may one day be freed with might.
The tyrants know this truth too well,
So books they craft where thoughts do dwell.
With words they tie the innocent mind,
Their subtle tools, so cruel, yet kind.
Each nerve within the soul they bind,
And soon the body’s trapped, confined.
No freedom shall that...

Silent Fire, Sacred StrengthThe classroom is a quiet forge,
and I, a blade in silent fire—
shaped by care, tempered in calm,
honed to serve a brighter purpose.
But into this heatswept chamber she storms,
a tempest cloaked in titles—
her words the hammer’s fall,
striking without measure, without proof.
She holds a flame to my calm steel,
asking why I do not sparkle like she:
“Why do...

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...

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 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...

Spice
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...

Hello New World!As I continue to deep in myself with poetry
I discover a new language, foreign
Almost like unscrambling the word pattern
Using a mixture of ingredients to describe a pride
Finding early 2000 websites to create a blog
Showing people my words anonymously.
Hello new world! Please welcome me with such care.

The PearlHeavy is the head that holds the crown
I desire to be his purple peace
When the world is beating him down
May he know he can come to me
I’ll kiss away your turquoise tears
And block all the negativity
Together we will face white fears
And create consistent chocolate peace
The heart of a man is a priceless Pearl
That...

Struggle of Being a LadyHer beauty turned to malison and woe,
As ladies, envious, scorn her radiant face,
Their hearts, inclined to rivalry, bestow,
A bitter enmity, her charm’s disgrace.
The world casts down her fortune with its spite,
Her colleagues seethe when she but speaks to one,
The officers and ministers, not right,
Exploit her grace, their honor left...

boys lessons
They told him, “Boys don’t cry or feel,”
“Stand tall, be hard, and never kneel.”
So he learned young to wear a mask,
To fake the strength they dared to ask.
He bit his tongue, he clenched his jaw,
Afraid to show a single flaw.
And every tear he held inside
Just made him hollow, made him hide.
They praised him when he...

LamentationI feel maybe I hadn't chosen
My dream of studying abroad
with lots of sacrifices and restless body
I still end up being miserable
Abroad makes you thirsty for money
Where you quench it by slowly
Killing your health and body
Is it possible to go back ?
My heart always plead me
I smile gently and...
