In the stillness of the night, when the world sleeps and the silence grows loud, one soul drifts-caught between thought and despair.
Breathing feels like drowning in an ocean that doesn't exist.
The questions never stop, the ache never fades, and the heart carries scars no one can see.
A collection of whispers, pain, and awe - for anyone who has ever felt lost without leaving home.

EPIPHANY
"I'm desperately trying to heal myself." •. •. •. •. •. I strongly believe art isn't supposed to be pretty, or liked and understood by the masses. Art is supposed to make you uncomfortable, it's supposed to boggle your mind and touch your heart. And this is what I've done. Most of my words aren't pretty. They are the real ugly truths about the things and people around me. The factors that make me who I am. This is a bringing together of the most intimate tragedies and beauties I've discovered in my mind.

Can I Say Goodbye?
I'm always searching for something worth staying for but I can't seem to find that until then please don't mind me because I'm just a traveler passing through. When I'm not satisfied or happy I'll leave and find a new path, so just let me say goodbye... Can I say goodbye? I wrote till my hands bruised and heart bled. I wrote and wrote in hopes that some day, somebody will understand my words and all the things I wish I could say... Each poem is a story. My story. Some are fictional but most of them are true. I know you're curious. From painful heart breaks to high school stories. A person dealing with mental illnesses, fears and abuse. Won't you like to know about the drama?Complete

•"Unspoken: A Tale of Silent Love"
"Every day, I held back the words my heart screamed in silence. This isn't just a story-it's a confession, written in shadows for someone who never looked back. A journey of first love, forever ache, and words that never found a voice." But still somehow surviving with help of people with true intentsComplete

The Space Between Our Lines
Have you ever felt a love that lives in silence, in the spaces no one notices? A longing that trembles in your chest but never finds its voice? What if the one who could fill the emptiness inside you is the one you are too afraid to reach for? What if every almost, every hesitation, every word left unsent has been shaping your life more than you realize? Can you find the courage before fear takes over? Can you cross the spaces that keep you apart without breaking yourself? What if the person you were meant to love has been walking beside you all along, yet you never dared to see them? What if the life you dream of exists only in the moments you almost live it? What if letting go is the only way to hold on? And when the lines between hope and heartbreak blur, will you recognize what you've been searching for before it slips away forever? In the quiet between longing and choice, between love and fear, the question remains for you, for me, for every heart that dares to hope: can we step into the life and the love that has been waiting for us all along?
