SUMMARY: In a pan filled with heat, pressure, and dreams, not every kernel gets to bloom. Some are forgotten. Some are buried. This is their story.
A haunting allegory of life, oppression, and the quiet ones who never got their moment to shine.
JUSTICE FOR THE BURNT ONES π£π₯
The kernels symbolize the unheard voices of society, pressed down by the performative bloom of modern success.

They tried to break me. Locked me up. Branded me a traitor, a rebel, a troublemaker. But they forgot: Truth doesn't live in laws - it lives in the heart. This is the voice of someone they tried to silence - but failed. Who chose exile over betraying himself. Who lost everything, except his voice. And now, that voice speaks. "I'm not a hero. I'm not a martyr. Just someone who refused to stay silent." Slam poetry based on a true story - about political persecution, survival, inner freedom, and how sometimes, a single word can save a life.Complete

Bedroom Whispers
The bedroom holds sacred territory for me. The bed, its altar. One upon which I've offered sacrifices, so many to count and recall. One upon which I currently lay as I once more pay my dues, in taps and clicks. I miss the days when the gods were content with the strokes and curves of the fluid dispenser. They seemed to have joined the fast-lane train, and thus demand new meals. While I lay down and hit the keys with a mystic rhythmic sway, I hear the sounds as they hit my ears. No. They're not forceful. Not now, at least. Like music from the slow strumming of a guitar, these sounds bring messages. And memories. And musings. And a medley, sometimes. And so it is, that I'm made to scribe. For when gods speak, their words are immortal. Oh. Wait. They're just thoughts. I thought as much.Complete

SAND ~By Vyrenoir~ Siderea Vale was diagnosed with Oneirophrenia as a child. a rare disorder where dreams bleed into waking life. For years, she's learned to live with the distortion. Medications, therapy, routine. She smiles, she works, she pretends to be normal. But the edges of her reality keep slipping. The people around her change. The days repeat. Time bends, folds, and forgets itself. Her doctors say it's her mind unraveling. But what if it isn't? What if something or someone is reaching through the cracks? A presence obsessed, patient, and timeless. A man who whispers through her dreams, bending time just to touch her again. Until time itself shatters in millions of tiny pieces... like sand. SAND is a surreal dark romance of obsession, blurred reality, and the entity who refuses to let go-no matter how many lifetimes it takes.
Silent Echoes
This is where I let everything out-the chaos, the silence, the things I can't say out loud. It doesn't judge, doesn't ask why, doesn't need explanations. It just exists, ready to catch whatever spills from my mind, whether it's broken pieces or fleeting moments of joy. It feels like talking to someone who's always there but never speaks, just listens-and somehow, that's enough.Complete![As Time Slows Around Us [Poetry]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/364915106-256-k829010.jpg)
