The Rose And The Thorns

My short stories and poems explore the quiet, often unspoken spaces of emotional survival-envy that turns inward, love withheld out of fear, and the ache of believing happiness belongs to others but not oneself. Written through a mythic and symbolic lens, these pieces blend inner trauma with celestial, divine, or dreamlike imagery to express what is difficult to say plainly.
Recurring themes include self-sacrifice, emotional restraint, longing, and the tension between wanting connection and choosing solitude for the sake of healing. Rather than offering neat resolutions, my writing honors the rawness of becoming-of standing in uncertainty, learning to release resentment without losing tenderness, and choosing growth even when it costs comfort.
These works are not meant to instruct or console easily. They are meant to witness. Each poem or short piece acts as a fragment of a larger internal mythology-one shaped by grief, resilience, quiet strength, and the slow reclaiming of worth. Readers who sit with these stories may recognize their own shadows reflected back, held with care rather than judgment.
