The door in between
There is a door no one speaks of. It is not built of stone, nor carved in the timber of old houses, but hidden deep in the marrow of the world where beginnings were never written, only uttered once by a voice that no longer is. Its wood does not creak, it sighs, like an old woman who’s forgotten why she still...

Women Who Changed The World
They moved like dawn through shadowed years, With quiet hands and blazing hearts, Their dreams outshone the weight of fears, They rewrote fate in fractured parts. Marie lit atoms' trembling core, Her lantern glowed through science' veil; While Rosa sat and shook the war Of silence—made the strong rails pale. Malala, bright with sharpened pen, Still sings where tyrants silence books; Jane healed the lives...

What is "L"ife all about, many times I get so mad. Should "I" have a doubt, it can be both good and bad? Will life turn out right, even if we make peace and do not "F"ight? Could the answer be Love, making it from up above? Is it up to you and me, "E"veryone working together is the magic key....

WATER
A pale ray bleeds across the swamp. Slick ivy coils tangled tight, choking voices into damp grass hissing...love? —drowned before heard— They say Mother Nature provides but she doesn’t shield— we live for ourselves, as the swamp feasts on our marrow. She taught us: you either hide from or become the man-eating ripples. You have to get your shoes dirty to not be swallowed. “The water,” my mother warned, “takes...

A dark world
Our hard work put in grades To a future that’s printed As people and trades become money that’s minted Our peace slowly lost to a world full and grey With a price tag and cost We sell our souls away ...

Change was among the few of my concerns ... As I have lost, every human rights given unto me by entry of birth into this world . It was as if the communication of my birth right up to adulthood had... Oh well ! A broken telephone line connection , struggling to find common ground of...

I once took my mother’s pearls and wore them to kindergarten. I wanted to look like an Adult— a word now bitter on my tongue. In playgrounds, we believed in monsters— now we drink with them, learn their masks, mirror...

THERE SHE GOES, MY BEAUTIFUL MUSE
[Verse 1] The lithium, the satellite The blood moon in a sleepless night The reels you posted, burning bright Still echo in my chest The AI wrote a lullaby The sea caught fire, the wires lie But somewhere deep behind my eyes She dances like the rest [Chorus] There she goes, my beautiful muse There she goes with nothing to lose There she goes, and I light...

Premium Member Stop waiting for the world to love you, for it never owed you that
Stop waiting for the world to love you, for it never owed you that, Do you think you'll feel worthy if you win, accumulate, and prove enough? That shame will vanish one morning, that the mirror will smile instead of frown? Let me tell you something true: you're chasing ghosts with heavy chains on your ankles, We're taught that...
