    "Pretty Privilege is Real" explores the raw realities of societal biases surrounding beauty and privilege through the eyes of Lana, a bright yet overlooked girl navigating school, family, and friendships. The story unfolds through a series of poignant incidents that reveal how beauty often overshadows merit, leading to inequity in academic and social scenarios. Lana confronts systemic favoritism, from unfair treatment in school to dismissive judgments in her family, each incident building a stark contrast between her achievements and the unwarranted adulation her peers receive solely for their looks. Amidst these challenges, Lana's journey delves into unreciprocated crushes, unkind comparisons, and the painful awareness of being reduced to a "side character" in her own life. The narrative reflects her struggle with internalized insecurities and the pursuit of self-worth in a world dominated by superficial standards. Thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, this story sheds light on the pervasive effects of "pretty privilege" and its profound impact on young minds.

    "Failure of the World" This is not fiction. This is not sugar-coated. This is what happens when the world stops caring - when justice fails, when the system turns its back, and when the only light left is the one glowing through the windshield of a parked car at 3 A.M. A woman pushed to the edge. Four months of surviving in her car. No phone. No safety net. No mercy. Just streetlights, cold nights, and the same people who pretend not to see her. Cops who listen but don't hear. Strangers who say "God bless" and hand out eight dollars like it's salvation. Every word she spits burns through the silence - raw, unfiltered, real. She's not just fighting for survival. She's exposing the truth: A world that claims to care but doesn't. A system that's blind to its own crimes. A society that fails the broken, the honest, the brave - and still dares to call it "help." This is her voice. This is her story. This is the disgrace of a world that let her fall, then asked her to smile through it. Read her truth. Feel her fury. Understand what "failure" really means.

    Fearless is an anthology/a book of poems. It has 50 poems written by me, voicing against gender violence, rape and other social issues. There are also poems that talk about mental health, especially Anxiety. Most of them are also about the troubles of my teenage mind. I have a habit of turning my pain into poetry so I'd say that this book brings out a really vulnerable part of me.

    This short story will take a very short amount of time but it has a big important message in it. It is about social injustice and how I, or any other whites, would have to go through the pain that African-Americans have been going through ever since the age of slavery in America.

    This is a poem about social injustice and faint hope. It's born out of the pain of the Lekki massacre that took place on the 20th October 2020 when soldiers on the order of the government shot and killed unarmed citizens who held the flag and sang the national anthem and who were on a peaceful protests. The pain and horror of that day will forever be imprinted on the heart and history of the Nigeria republic.

    #poetry "In the depths of humanity, where shadows lie Injustice reigns, and equality dies The cries of the oppressed, echo through time A call to awaken, to a world in crime Through verses and rhymes, I raise my voice Against the wrongs, that make our hearts rejoice For a world where justice, is just a word And equality's dream, is yet to be heard In these poems, I shed light on the pain Of those who suffer, in vain Their stories untold, their voices unheard Their struggles, a testament to a world blurred May these words, be a beacon of hope A call to action, to scope The injustices, that we must abate And create a world, where love and justice create."
