A funeral for myself
It was a funeral for myself And I still haven't buried her yet The sky opened up and released its anger Rained down in grief and sadness The only other witness to her multiple deaths The world built her to break It was too late to save her For she was now unrecognisable In a casket crafted from pain...

Letter to my younger self
Dear younger me, You won’t understand this yet, but the world doesn’t stay kind. You don’t know it yet, but your smile will crack in places, no one can see. You’ll carry weight meant for two instead of one. Still blaming yourself for breaking everyday. One day you will look back, Not with pride, Not with peace, But with a trembling softness...

Younger
The apartment smelled like smoke Frail and fleeting I looked at her She never ate Always yelled I looked at him He never stayed Always somber Curled in a blanket on the floor Thin and cold Looking up at the ceiling A stain on the wall The window was open Screaming in the kitchen Needles on the floor The carpet dirty I walked around a little bit I lay back down There was...

You Were Always Enough
Ah, you are so young still, too tender to see how the storms are shaping you. These trials—though heavy now— are quietly teaching you how to rise. Do you know, even now, you are already on the right path? One day, you will stand fierce— undaunted, unbroken— no matter what life dares to place in your way. Your strength is already blooming....

To my younger self
To my younger self, Here's a message to you, A reference for all you go through, Take heed from the start, Cherish your giving heart, It'll push you beyond limits, Without even counting minutes, Pushing yourself till pores bleed, Working hard is your creed, You are actually addicted, Making social life conflicted, Don't forget to smell the roses, Understand the threat that poses, This physical...

Premium Member The Younger Wife
After ten years of marriage, he cast me aside, For a younger woman with bounce in her stride. He said he loved her, and she made him feel young. Then he said I was dated and too overstrung. So, I looked in my mirror to see what he saw And saw an old woman whose emotions were...

To My Younger Self
When dawn’s bright light reveals your dreams with endless scope, Embrace each day with courage, let your heart find hope. The path ahead may test you, challenge all your might, But stand with strength and honor, let your spirit light. In times of doubt and sorrow, when your strength seems slight, Remember deep within you burns a steady light. Each trial...

Fraught as an extremely socially anxious younger person
Fraught as an extremely socially anxious younger person... hashtagged introvertedness trademark silently exorcised, ostracized, and vilified Impossible mission to resuscitate... a forsaken promising (even short lived) friendship regardless of expressed gender exhibited by other persons from yesteryear. When trying to jump/kick start lapsed meaningful interpersonal connections from much earlier in my life absence of a spark to kindle once upon a time valuable linkedin treasured bond bereft of dynamism. Folly...
