A collection of short free verse poems exploring internal turmoil, haunting nostalgia, and the quiet practice of accepting death.

Not every breakdown is loud. Some happen silently-within your thoughts, your decisions, your emotions. Control Before Collapse is a deeply reflective journey into the emotional phases we all go through but rarely understand. From wrong love and broken trust to difficult decisions, toxic friendships, racism, and family pressures-this book explores how every experience shapes your inner world. It's not about avoiding pain. It's about understanding it. Because emotions don't come to destroy you-they come to teach you. But until you learn, life will repeat the lesson in different forms. This book helps you recognize those patterns, take control of your reactions, and transform emotional chaos into clarity and strength. It reminds you that you are not weak for feeling deeply-you are human. And within that depth lies your greatest power. If you've ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, this book will feel like a conversation with yourself-the one you've been avoiding, but truly need.

notes I keep to myself mostly but I've realised that some people may relate to it although I wish they didn't.

Professor Sathvik Rathi lives by a sacred oath: the principle of Ahimsa-absolute non-violence. His life is a quiet pursuit of peace, defined by the delicate balance of ancient texts. ​But that balance is shattered the moment he falls for his enigmatic and beautiful student, Sejal. ​Sejal, however, is not seeking knowledge; she is seeking vengeance. She has come to the university with one cold, precise goal: to dismantle the life of the powerful owner's son who destroyed her family, and she intends to use Sathvik-the man of peace-as the perfect weapon. ​Yet, as her calculated plan unfolds, Sejal finds herself caught in a cruel trap of her own making, falling irrevocably for the gentle soul she intended to exploit. ​Now, with justice demanding blood and his world collapsing, Sathvik must face the unthinkable. To save the woman he loves, the man of peace must become a weapon of war. ​He must ask the terrifying question: Is true love worth breaking the one sacred promise that defines him?

Kraven's Silent Symphony (Part 1) is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about quiet love, self-discovery, and the strength of bonds that don't need words to surviveinted in his own life-academically weak, directionless, and unsure of his worth. Surrounded by friends who care but don't fully understand him, Kraven drifts through school until the arrival of Claire, a brilliant and composed new student, ignites something he never knew existed within him. Claire is everything Kraven is not-focused, admired, and effortlessly successful. Inspired by her presence, he begins a silent transformation, pushing himself beyond his limits, rising from the bottom to the top. Yet his greatest challenge isn't academics-it's finding the courage to speak to her. Words fail him, emotions overwhelm him, and silence becomes his language. An unexpected outlet emerges through comics-simple sketches that carry his feelings when his voice cannot. What begins as a hobby soon becomes a bridge, drawing laughter, friendships, and eventually Claire herself closer to him. But admiration attracts jealousy, and past grudges resurface in dangerous ways. Betrayal, manipulation, and a cruel test of character threaten to destroy everything Kraven has built. As years pass, exams, pandemics, separations, and changing paths test their bond. When the moment finally arrives for truths to be spoken, fate intervenes with devastating force, forcing Kraven to make the ultimate sacrifice-one that defines love not as possession, but as protection. This is not a story about confession. It is a story about becoming. About friendships that endure. About love that stays silent yet eternal. Some bonds don't fade with distance. They echo forever. Parts 2, 3, 4, 5: Coming soon.

All the things I never dare to say.

Darryn Y'Zalli, from a survivor of the Battle of Christophsis, to padawan, to a wanderer of the galaxy. Just trying to make his way through a changing galaxy as the Galactic Empire was rising to power.

In a world rebuilt after the extinction of humans, life has found its rhythm again. Mana flows through everything. Spanning from classrooms to farmland, from quiet careers to the systems that keep society running. For most, learning to use it is simply a part of growing up... a place to belong. For Renji, it never felt that simple. Falling behind his peers, he's spent his life chasing something everyone else seems to have: normalcy. A place in a world that moves on whether he can keep up or not. But just as he begins to understand his own mana, something unexpected surfaces, something rare. Something that doesn't quite fit. And as the world around him begins to shift in ways he can't explain, Renji is left with a choice he never asked for: Keep chasing normal... or accept that he may have never been meant for it.

#1 in "characterstudy" January 2024 #4 in "innerstruggle" January 2024 Sequel to Wandavision, Multiverse of Madness and my own Avengers: Incursion War. Nothing is as it seems, everything is as it seems, something is wrong, nothing is wrong... The truth, what is truth? But a concept that slowly loses all meaning, in the heart of a shattered mind. Suspense/Drama/Fantasy/Action/Adventure/Character Study This is a continuation of my highly praised story called AVENGERS: INCURSION WAR. Reading that book is a necessity in order to be fully immersed in Wanda's journey and how she got to this point. It was a deep character driven redemption story so if you love Wanda, you will NOT regret reading that book. It also takes place after my Midnight Suns book, where Wanda was also present. This is the 3rd story in a connected saga. The saga is compiled into one large story, called the secret wars saga. It begins with Avengers: Incursion War.The second is The Midnight Suns. There is also a short called Fading Away, set in between Wandavision and Multiverse of Madness, acting as a prelude to the saga. It is not essential to read fading away or midnight suns, however midnight suns adds some context and clues. This is a mix between script and novel format. Expect certain cinematic elements. Synopsis: After the events of "AVENGERS: INCURSION WAR" and "The Midnight Suns", Wanda Maximoff is living a peaceful and fulfilling life with her family while doing everything she can to make the world a better place and be the hero she was destined to be. However, the world does not see it that way. She is constantly plagued by constant episodes of anxiety and nightmares from her past... and a lingering presence beginning to haunt her day and night. Will she ever know peace? Or will she slowly succumb to the darkness until Time Runs Out.

Book 2 of devotion series ✨ "A book of stories stepped out of reality " There were words I carried like storms in my chest, gentle at first, then too heavy to rest. Your name lived quietly between every breath, a love that stayed hidden, afraid of its depth. We spoke in silences, in glances that knew, in pauses that whispered what we never drew. And somewhere between what I felt and what showed, I lost you... to the words I never told. We the authors wrote about our life in two different stories something so much relatable to our lives so do read it.. We want you all to read these stories as we wanted to pour our heart out in something that is really ours. So stay connected for further beautiful and painful stories to start.. 😭💗✨

This poetry collection is about my life and all the things I've heard from the society. Most of these poems are about my life and experience.

Not every love story is meant to begin... some are meant to be resisted. She fell for the one who taught her how not to. Aaminah only wanted to grow... to become better, to find herself again. But somewhere along the way, her heart chose the wrong person. Ustadh Zayd. What starts as simple admiration slowly becomes something deeper... something she cannot control. But some feelings are not meant to be followed. - A slow-burn story of love, restraint, and silent battles of the heart.

It's about a girl who realizes she might be in love with someone she's supposed to compete with, and isn't ready to accept what that means. This is a short story I wrote for school and after finishing it I decided to publish it here.

THIS STORY IS UNDER EDITING/REWRITING! "Even in stillness, your story continues." After reaching a breaking point from academic burnout, this story follows the journey of a young girl decides to take a one-year break from school. She retreats to her family's summer house in her hometown, expecting solitude and distance from the pressures that overwhelmed her. In this story, she'll walk through a reflective journey of healing as she learns self-love and self-discovery as she regains her spark while she also reminisced the simple joys of her childhood and family memories during her stay.

Depression and self-loathing come in many faces. Here are a few of mine, together with self-talk that most of us occasionally have. Enjoy
