Your mind can be your home... or your prison. Mine became a battlefield."
Alone with the voices that never seem to stop, I spiral between silence and chaos, fighting demons that no one else can hear. The darker the thoughts, the louder they become, pulling me further away from people, from peace, from myself. Some nights, it feels like the war in my head will decide whether I live or fade away.
This isn't just about pain-it's about survival, the struggle to silence the noise, and the search for light in a place that only knows shadows.
For anyone who's ever felt like their own thoughts were their worst enemy... this story is for you.

WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL
I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.Complete
INNER DEMONS
They say life is full of surprises - but they never said some of them would break you beyond recognition. I wake up every day carrying a weight no one else can see. I laugh. I smile. I play the part. But deep inside, I'm unraveling - quietly, painfully. No one notices the war behind my eyes. The kind of pain that doesn't scream, it lingers - slow, quiet, deadly. I've forgotten what peace feels like. I only know how to survive... not live. "I'm okay." It's the lie I tell, because it's easier than explaining the emptiness. My inner demons whisper that I'm not enough. That I'll never be. And sometimes... I believe them. Sometimes, I feel like I'm already gone. But even in the darkness - even when I'm on the edge - there's still a voice, quiet and trembling, that says: "Hold on." This is a story for those who suffer in silence. For the ones fighting battles no one can see. For the broken, the tired, the ones still breathing - even when it hurts. You're not alone. And maybe... that's where hope begins.
"Things I Never Said Out Loud"

Some Sunlights Burn
Darkness is her only friend. Ivaseah has long made peace with it, curling into its arms like an old habit. She dissolved into the corners of rooms she never felt she belonged in, drifting through life like a fading echo. With a heart too fractured to feel and a mind too loud to sleep, she learned to wear silence like skin. She never wanted to be saved. She only ever wanted to disappear, quietly, painlessly, without a trace. But then he came. With eyes that saw too much. With hands that felt like home. With a light she never asked for. And for the first time, Seah wondered, just maybe, she didn't have to rot alone. But even the softest light casts shadows. And not all sunlights are warm enough to heal. In letting him in, she unknowingly handed him the match. And in loving him, she set herself on fire.Complete
