Poetry
These aren't just poems of my childhood. These are pieces of memories, feelings I couldn't say out loud growing up. It's the confusion of being raised by women who wore the title "mother," but never truly mothered me. It's about the ache of being unseen in the very place that was supposed to see me most. The poem spills out what it feels like to watch love happen around you, but not to you. It's about abandonment, identity, and the strange grief of having two mothers-and still feeling like an orphan. It's a reflection on how the word "mother" changed for me over time, and how silence, absence, and inconsistency can leave scars deeper than words. This is me, saying what I wish I could've said back then.

These poems are just some of the little pieces that make up my life. Whenever I get inspired by someone or something, I write a little story about it in the form of a poem. In a way, it helps me express what I have in my mind in a very vague way. I'm not that kind of a direct person, but there are things that are sometimes, better to kept secret. Here, these poems are what I wanted to say to my friends, to other important people, to people in general, to the world around me, to life and each detail it possesses. Each poem has a central theme, and around that revolves a certain story that I want to impart, something too delicate to be expressed directly, something too complicated. Here, I want to share who I am. That's ... probably all ... that I need to say.
