Allegorical Stories

An anthology of poetry and prose surrounding mental health, and psychological trauma, where I've used my words to draw out the river of emotions I wish I could've understood back then. Each chapter will have a content warning. A journey of emotional openness. ~~~ Excerpt: When Kingdoms Fall The Ruin Remains, I'd search through every charred piece To find the remnants of you.

In moments of doubt, when the soul feels weary and direction seems distant, a single encounter can illuminate a lifetime. "The Supreme Essence" is a spiritually inspired short story about inner awakening, faith, and the divine strength that resides within every human heart. When a troubled young man meets a serene and wise elder, he is gently guided toward a profound realization: the true "fuel" of life is not ambition, power, or circumstance - but love. Through a rich and symbolic metaphor, the narrative explores love not merely as emotion, but as a sacred force - a spiritual principle capable of transforming pain into growth, confusion into clarity, and weakness into purpose. As the young protagonist discovers the virtues that compose this inner fuel - sincerity, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and reverence for God - he begins to understand that life's greatest victories are born from inner alignment with higher values. Written in both Portuguese and English, this contemplative tale offers readers a message of hope, renewal, and spiritual responsibility. It invites us to look inward, to cultivate the noblest qualities of the heart, and to recognize that divine love is the foundation upon which a meaningful life is built. A timeless reminder that when guided by love, the soul never truly loses its way.

優しくなりたい，正しくなりたい，綺麗になりたいあなたみたいに...... ⸺米津玄師 "優しい人" This is an exotic friendship, an amusing yet heartbreaking comedy of two Persian pusses, who assumed the great duty of preserving the life of a colony of vagrant cats in Rouen, Paris. The storiette; however, was rendered in a comprehensive depiction from the reasoning with respect to the foundation of their relationship to the expected expiration due to a mournful and diabolical accident. The idea of "involution" had invited great effort of writing to explain the cause of the buskin of Monsieur Andromedus and his futility of struggle. The raconteur spoke of a fatal veterinary nature that eviscerated most greatly the apparent "hope" of life. The feature could be found astoundingly comparable to human society.

The Tear That Would Not Break unfolds in a European-inspired fantasy kingdom where sacred glass, shaped as Prince Rupert's Drops, symbolizes unshakable faith. When a monumental glass tear crafted to restore hope during a devastating plague shatters in a single fragile strike, a young glassmaker named Elara challenges the kingdom's understanding of strength, sacrifice, and belief. As towering symbols crumble, the people must confront the delicate "tail" that truly sustains their faith: doubt, grief, and shared vulnerability.

This story is a dark allegory about identity, judgment, and society's cruelty. The Ugly Gay Man represents how people shine on the outside but are rejected for who they truly are. The Bad Black Man symbolizes how society turns people into stereotypes and ignores their humanity. The Good Waiter watches it all but does nothing-he represents those who see injustice but stay silent out of fear or apathy. The story shows how we perform roles, how society decides who matters, and how truth, identity, and morality are twisted by perception. In the end, no one is innocent-not the victim, the criminal, or the bystander. It's not meant to make sense. It's meant to feel like a nightmare reflection of the real world.
