I write the words Scared enough to be said Failed enough to be heard And Hated enough to be ash

This poetry book, Echoes Beneath the Moonlight, is a collection of deeply emotional reflections that travel through love, heartbreak, loneliness, devotion, and silent resilience. Beneath the soft glow of moonlit nights and within dimly lit rooms of memory, these poems explore the fragile state of the human soul - wounded yet hopeful, broken yet still capable of loving. Through recurring symbols of the moon, shattered hearts, silent rivers, freezing seas, and trembling breaths, the book captures the ache of longing, the fear of losing someone, and the quiet strength found in enduring pain. Each piece feels like a confession whispered into the night - sometimes romantic, sometimes philosophical, sometimes standing at the edge of mortality - but always sincere. Echoes Beneath the Moonlight is not just a poetry collection; it is the voice of a soul navigating darkness while still searching for light.

#3 prosepoetry A poem of forgetting that walls are often the kindest. ----- #1 performance #2 panic #3 isolation #1 catatonia #4 socialanxiety ----- Content Warning: This collection contains graphic depictions of psychological collapse, medical trauma/institutionalization, self-harm imagery, and severe mental illness. Reader discretion is strongly advised. ----- A portrayal Of voice and silence, of hope and betrayal. Of how every lens shapes the fall. A speaker falters and is remade. An author is devoured by their own words. An actor is bound in gold, And an audience struggles to witness. Through hope, lost friendship, and relentless self-examination, This poem asks: what is truly seen, and what is left behind? ----- Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction and poetry.

Exploring inner voices of ordinary things with a simple question "If I were a...?" This collection is not strictly autobiographical. The poems explore emotions, identities, and perspectives: some lived, some imagined, some observed.

──────── ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ──────── Some feelings are never meant to be spoken out loud. They simply sit inside you and make a home in the corners of your heart. 𝗗𝐢𝐥 - 𝐞 - 𝐑𝐚𝐚𝐳 was written in that quiet corner. This poetry collection contains eight poetic Urdu verses written in the hope of being written to. It encaptured the feeling of unrequited feelings, passionate denial and irreversible limerence. Urdu is my mother tongue. And when there were poetries inside me that the English couldn't truly hold, my heart decided to bleed words in Urdu. However, I have included the English Translation of each poem for my non-Urdu speaking readers. I have tried to imitate the effect of each poem in English too. A section is dedicated to the vocabulary used in every poem for clarity. I hope you enjoy reading this work as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life. And I hope you fall in love with how different languages can encapture multitudes of similar emotions in just a few words. ──────── ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ────────

"Fiction here is likely to contain more truth than fact." ~From "A Room Of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf

This is a collection of poems born from silence, survival, and identity. Written by someone who was told to hide, and chose instead to speak. Every poem is a quiet war. Every line, a piece of light. _________________________________________ 'And Strangle them with a rainbow shirt, Because Little broken boys just don't seem to hurt.' - From 'Too young' 'You're a man now, not little anymore, Still so little, Evermore...' - From 'My Favourite little Man' 'Would I too break my toys, if I did belong?' - From 'Mirror World' ______________________________________________ ⚠️BEWARE⚠️- There's too much going on in my poems ;) If you don't relate to my poems, I feel sad for you.
