Innerbattles Stories

"Between Deadlines & Heartbeats" "Five women. One workplace. A thousand unspoken battles." At Glam Mirror, where gold, silver, and diamonds are weighed, priced, and perfected, five women learn that the heaviest things they carry are never on the ledger. Sneha leads with sarcasm and strength, balancing motherhood, marriage, and management in a life that barely pauses for her to breathe. Poorti stands firm as her family's pillar, decisive and fearless-except when it comes to a love she keeps unnamed. Kushboo feels everything deeply, loving loudly in a world that demands restraint, often unsure whether her heart or her mind should lead. Deepali holds her broken family together after loss, solving everyone's problems while quietly longing for someone to tell her she deserves a life of her own. Tanu shows up every day with carefully stitched smiles, carrying heartbreak she never healed from, unsure if she still belongs anywhere. Between exhibitions, unforgiving corporate rules, and personal lives that refuse to stay separate, their friendship is tested by misunderstandings, silence, and choices made too late. This is a story about working women who don't have the luxury to fall apart. About friendships that are imperfect but necessary. About love that stays hidden, pain that goes unnamed, and strength that looks a lot like silence. Because some stories aren't about success or failure- they're about showing up, every day, between deadlines and heartbeats.

A simple poem to those who fight for their inner freedom.

This poem is a raw dive into the fractured reality of panic, anxiety, depression, and the blackouts that shape a life unseen by most. It follows the journey of one person navigating streets, memories, and moments of sheer terror, walking a path where the body and mind betray each other. From the pounding heartbeat that feels like it has escaped the chest, to the trembling hands and pinching pain in the left arm, every line is an unflinching reflection of what it's like to survive in a body that reacts before the mind can understand. This is not just a story of panic attacks - it's an intimate confessional of trauma, empathy, and the struggle to maintain stability when the world seems too loud, too heavy, too dark. It's a reminder that even in fear, chaos, and confusion, there is movement forward, there is agency, and there is the quiet determination to survive. For anyone who has walked alone through their own storms, who has felt their heart outside their chest, or who has stared into the void and kept moving, this poem speaks to the flesh, to the bones, and to the unbreakable spirit inside.

🌅 Dawn - A Nigerian Coming-of-Age Drama 🌅 Fourteen-year-old Bola is an orphan, a devout Christian girl trying to stay afloat in the lavish yet fractured home of the Adeyanyus - a wealthy Lagos family with secrets buried behind their high walls and polished smiles. But beneath the chandeliers and marble floors, pain festers. When a tender connection with Bernard, her guardian's teenage son, crosses a line, Bola is left shattered - not just by shame, but by silence. In a world where she already feels invisible, the weight of her mistake threatens to crush her. Kanyinsola, her once-loyal best friend and Bernard's fiery sister, distances herself. Morenike, the matriarch of the house, turns cruel. And when Bernard and Kanyinsola are suddenly sent away to London, Bola is left behind - broken, alone, and suffocating. With no one left to protect her and abuse escalating behind closed doors, Bola begins to realize: survival may mean escape. And escape may be the only way to reclaim her voice. Set against the vibrant and volatile backdrop of contemporary Nigeria, Dawn is a haunting, emotionally layered coming-of-age tale about faith, secrecy, friendship, and the quiet strength of a girl finding her way out of darkness. Perfect for readers who love raw, character-driven stories with faith, depth, and heart.
