Chameleon

I’ve been a chameleon my whole life—
Blending, shifting, changing with the tide.

I have worn a thousand faces, each not quite my own,
Shifting like shadows, wherever I was thrown.
But in the silence, a whisper would start—
A voice from deep within my heart.

What remains when there’s no one left to please?
Just me in the mirror—no disguise, no

No, my heart doesn't ache anymore

No, my heart doesn’t ache anymore
Eating ice cream on the beach
It’s June, and with it all,

For the first time
In a while-

It’s calm

I’ll try diving in the pool
Cold hands wrap around me
As I look at the skies painted blue

The lessons I’ve lived
Won’t come back to haunt me-
Not anymore

It is a Lovely place

Remember how you’ve come such a long way
Becoming iterations of what you’ve become
You’ve grown vulnerable with a pompous inner child 
You know joy is about being grateful
And your grief has melted to give way to life 
But the tender love 
Of those who loved you 
Has steeped into your soul
You now diminish the ties that

You


___ 

You cannot escape yourself,
I know we wish to be someone else.
Comparison is an easy deceiver,
no one is much cleaner,
Everyone has their faults,
Your not the only grain of salt.
No one can share a duplicate identity 
that would make you a nonentity.

Self-Growth

Mere silence is all it took
to put an end to her soul's cries
Her heart, caterwauling in disharmony
has been waiting for the storm to abate

It has finally happened
Her heart no longer goes to war
as its deed has been narrowed down to one
- to fulfil its role as a diligent pump
in burning quest of keeping her body

Loneliness

THANK YOU
for
my
LONELINESS
that
SETS me out to many lanes
and
PRODS my mind to search on
that
EXTENDS my being to others
and
EXPANDS my heart to believe.

THANK YOU
for
this LONELINESS
that
WOUNDS my heart again and again
and
FORCES a reckoning of my emptiness
that
MIRRORS my raw loveliness
and
DRAWS YOU TO FILL THE VOID
when
piled
on
sand
my
LONELINESS.

The Fault In Our Minds

Salt and sea breeze rubbed against my skin,
The soul left my lungs to inherit it’s win.
I looked around and found aesthetics in the dark,
Captured in polaroids , memorising my own heart. 
The reality is what I don’t allow them to see,
It’s covered in stardust, saved only for me.
It took me a while to realise what
