Had I been
Had I Been I woke up, drenched in my emotions. Had I been— Had I been with a sinner, I would have never questioned my sins. Once a sacrosanct soul, now a pillar of guilt. I prefer to paint my own world, rather than let anyone paint it— and wash it away. Had I been with a lover, I would have never known what it takes to...

Who Am I Now
I was your mom before i was anything else, My name, before my plans, Before the life i thought i’d have— I was yours. Now the world keeps turning, But i don’t know where i fit, Who am i supposed to be If I'm no longer your mom? People say, you’ll always be Cody’s mother, But they don’t understand, Being a mother is doing,...

Black people don't do therapy
Black people don't do therapy You'll be seen As a failure They say we don't share out business with 'strangers' But those 'strangers' are usually their children's saviours They are like a safe place Something their parents never gave them A safe haven See what these black parents don't realise That if they don't start paying attention To their children They'll lose them forever All because...

Rain and Snake
I crawl through darkness — small, scared, biting at shadows to keep my life, to keep my fear away. I hold my breath, keep still, hiding trembling beneath the strike, trying not to break, trying not to pour my heart out. Everyone sees the fight — the flash of scales, the flicker of anger — but no one sees the fear that claws beneath the surface, the quiet battle I...

Dear Reader, P1, read P2, P3 as well
Dear reader, I am sad because I thought about my life, and it made me want to cry. It didn’t strike me like lightning, there was no crash of thunder or moment of clarity. It was quieter than that and it came slowly, like dusk settling in after a long...

The Weight of Silence
In the darkness, a voice cries out, a shattering scream in the midnight hour. Trust turned to ash, shattered and raw, beneath the weight of an unwanted power. Hands that should heal become claws that tear, and silence grows louder in the air. A soul splintered, seeking the dawn— to rise again, though battered and worn....

Let It Be
I gave my heart, it bled so deep, Tried to hold on, but couldn’t keep, Nights were cold, tears fell like rain, Whispered low, let go the pain. I searched for love, but it slipped free, Flickers lost where light should be, Through all the hurt, I learned to see— Maybe sometimes you just gotta let it be....

Blood in the Quiet
Silence isn’t quiet — it’s the scream stuck in my throat, the venom dripping from broken teeth, the promise shattered on cracked floors. Your silence is a fist beating against my ribs, each unanswered breath a knife twisting deeper, a war waging beneath broken skin. I claw at shadows grasping ghosts that slip through bleeding fingers, love drowned in the dark, where silence is a battlefield and...

What Its like
What's it like to get what makes you feel whole, not even whole jus gives you a reason to live? Gives you a season to look forward to. No expectations held at all. That door was closed at the beginning. No way I could find a person who has as much as me to give.  Simple...
