Grappling with the complex inheritance of patriarchy, written in a series of poems when visiting my homeland in 2024. I wrote them to figure out who I am, how I can belong and simultaneously not belong to an old world and deep roots... and how (walking among the ancient ruins and then the advertising-strewn streets) I can choose my own inheritance.

The Beast (Alpha Trilogy #1)
"I know I'm a monster, but even I have my limits!" I shout at him. He shouldn't have done that. "Wait, please, I- , let me explain. I'm sorry-" "I should've known." I say quietly as I turn around and leave him there. I will never trust him again. Not after this. She wanted to be left alone. He wanted to find his mate. She didn't know about his kind. He didn't know about her past. She was a human. He was a wolf. Will he win her over? Will she accept him? Will they be happy? Or will someone try to ruin them? Warning: mature content I don't own any of the pictures shown. None of the presented people or events are real (obviously).Complete

Gone Beyond: The Queen Of Dark
Would you rather be compassionate or powerful? Be scared or be feared? Be called a witch or be vicious for real? When everyone wishes to see you in the cage of their conservative, misogynistic power hungry mindset, what are your options other than fighting tooth and nail for your very being? You could always choose to live in suffocation as men keep sucking the very oxygen out of your lungs but would you rather be named a danger or be one? There is a devil to pay for every triumph and there is revenge to collect for every trauma. The difference is how much are you willing to invest and how much are you willing to risk? Would you fight your fate for your faith to be the good one as they expect you to be or would you betray them all for the dark side?
