You only hinder yourself by concealing those feelings under a concrete mask. But remember, concrete cracks and I see your unmarred skin that's not tasted the flavour of living. You hide like a guilty thief. You steal away the experience so open your eyes, your mind, your heart to the landscape known as Emotion. *** (30/6/22) Maturity is when you look back at your creation with, not disgust, but pride. You marvel at your growth, rather than shame yourself for the lack of knowledge in the past. Amongst the embarrassment, commend your budding talent, and strive to make better for yourself. 2020 anthology. 2nd place in The Bridge Society Poetry Awards. Beautiful cover by @Lane2London.

"When the witching hour strikes, do the absurd notions take seed." Cocooned under the safety of blankets and basked in the sweet scent of sweat, conscience submits itself to the wonderful yet agonizingly painful world of 'what-if's' and 'however's'. A lonesome protagonist winds up awake at ungodly hours, suffocated by her subconscious. When she sets afoot outside, she finds the once familiar surroundings turn foreign. Are they the true shades of the world she thought she knew? Or just a trick of the eyes?
