Some Stories Don’t Need an Ending
It’s strange, isn’t it? How someone can live in your heart for years, Without even realizing it. I wasn’t looking for a fairytale. I wasn’t expecting fireworks, Or a dramatic confession under the rain. All I ever wanted… Was to matter to you. To have a place in your life That felt a little more permanent. But here we are. After all this time, You look at...

Inherited Chains
I remember wishing for her happiness, for if she smiled, all would be fine. She was a tempest, a storm of anger, sadness, and despair, Allowing the darkness to consume her, an abyss too deep to repair. She let the shadows dictate her life, Surrendered to the pain and grief Her laughter was a distant memory,...

Mother
I was young when my dad left; each day was a burden on its own. Before he left, he and my mom would always quarrel, and I saw her tears—like rivers flowing from her eyes. The burden of motherhood caught up with her— yet through love, even though her heart shimmered, she stood by our side. I remember how, in the streets...

MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE OF LIES
I was living with my family, And was a happy child. My Father helped me grew up, To live a struggling life... Messy hairs with darks around my faces, Everyday I woke up with tears in my eyes... Pictures of my journey might look so colorful and bright, Darling you call it beautiful, I call it Black and White... My Mother makes me count, Every year that passes...

A Brother
I think I hear whispers floating through my mind, It's the voice of someone I held dear- I remember the days when games were the only stress there. Opposite balconies facing each other, Extending hands to see if we could hold together , We bonded over shared toys, origami papers and roaring laughter. We played during every holiday as we grew, Sometimes...

Ode to my brown bear
You were there before memory. Before voices had names, before light had meaning you were there. Brown as warm bread, soft as a breath held in sleep, you waited. And I held you. You were there. Through the quiet nights where shadows danced on walls and thunder cracked the sky like glass you never blinked. You never left. Your button eyes have seen more tears than the stars above my window, but never...
