I folded my dreams into cornerssharp enough to cut mejust so you’d have roomto unfold yours. I told myselflove is sacrifice.That shrinking is a kind of gift.That silence means strength.That maybe you'd noticethe ache in my absence. But you didn’t.You walked lighter,because I carried what you wouldn’t. I stopped asking.Stopped wanting.Stopped dreaming.I peeled my needs down to the bone—air, sleep,a hand on my back,a voice that says I see you. Even thatwas too much. You didn’t just forget me.You erased me.Made me ghost myself.I …
Little Sparks, Big Stories
I wake to a whisper—a single thought, small as a sigh,trembling like steam from my coffee cup. In that quiet blink of a morning,I see a cracked mug and hear its secret:even broken things can hold magic. Each tiny sparkgrows, transforming a plain dayinto a hidden adventure waiting to be told. I remember how one fleeting moment—a gentle laugh at my own reflection—turned the ordinary into a bold promise. Every thought is a seed,nurtured by a heart that listens,ready to blossom into a story uniquely mine. So I hold onto these …
Mistress of My Mind
I lost my mind the other day,It ran off fast, got in the way.Got stuck in thoughts that led nowhere,In worries hanging in the air. It dug up things best left behind,Played old mistakes on loop, rewind.Spun what-ifs out till I felt small,Like I had no control at all. For days I let it pull me in,A spinning wheel beneath my skin.Till something snapped—I took a stand,And grabbed my mind with both my hands. Turned down the noise, stepped into light,Pulled myself back into the fight.Because the mind will slip, it’s true,But I decide what it …
Lonely in a Crowd, Lost in My Head
I’ve stood in packed rooms, shoulder to shoulder,Still felt the air grow colder and colder.People talk, but no one stays,Everyone lost in their own maze. No store sells friends—I checked the aisles,No discount rack for real-life smiles.Everyone's running, chasing more,Never sure what they’re running for. But kids? They’ve cracked the code,No fake hellos, no hearts on hold.They laugh, they cry, they take their shot,No second-guessing what they’ve got. Maybe that’s where we go wrong,Trying too hard, for way too long.Drowning in noise, …
See Yourself
You see the cracks first,the places where you’ve broken,where the light doesn’t reach.But they—the ones who love you—see the way the light bends around you,even when you feel invisible. You don’t think you’re worthy of love,but they’ve held it for you,carefully, like something fragile,even when you didn’t ask for it.They’ve seen the best of youon the days when you felt like the worst. You search for approval in empty spaces,chasing after people who won’t even turn their heads.But the ones who matter are there—quietly watching, patiently …
Change
I thought I knew the way ahead,With plans and dreams I’d neatly spread.I changed myself to fit the mold,Believing I was in control. But fate, it laughed at all my schemes,Tearing down my fragile dreams.I bent and broke, I lost my way,Thinking that’s the price to pay. I twisted truth and blurred the lines,Redrawing maps a hundred times.And when it all came crashing down,I stood there empty, set to drown. Was it for nothing, all this pain?Did all my efforts go in vain?But now I see, through all the cracks,The lesson hid behind the …
Where Homes Crumble, Hearts Struggle, and Change Begins
Words slip through my fingers, they crumble away,Like trying to catch light on a cloudy day.This pain, it lingers, but I can’t quite say,How it feels like I've been pushed off a mountain’s sway. Numbness creeps in, like a thief in the night,Maybe it's shock, denial, or fright.The hurt runs so deep, it’s out of my sight,So intense, it fades, like stars losing their light. A tingle spreads, a shiver in my skin,Wanting to scream, but not from within.Tears sit in my eyes, but they won’t begin,Wishing this ending would just let me win. But …

Memories and Moments
The hardest part in life, they say, Is when the one you love goes away. They gave me memories, pure and bright, But now they're gone, like a fading light. My parents and grandparents, strong and bold, Aging slowly, growing old. I saw the signs but chose to ignore, Until loss knocked on my heart's door. A loved one passed, I wasn't there, I thought I had time, but life isn't fair. Years slipped by, guilt took hold, A sorrow so deep, a story untold. Her absence left a scar so deep, It wakes me up from my sleep. But in that pain, a lesson …
