"Enslaved to Silence" is a spoken word poem that explores the struggle of being trapped inside your own mind - bound by thoughts, silence, and inner echoes that feel like chains. Through imagery of confinement and darkness, it captures the desperation of searching for peace. Yet it transforms into a declaration of freedom, reminding us that liberation begins within: peace is not always found, but made.

Bare Soul
My Bare Soul can be found at the pit of the glistening waterfalls where my words reside. My loud vulnerability. My truth that I do not hide. My voice although unheard, my words make it come alive. Although it trembles, my hand or pen in it never shakes, it only thrives. Come take a look inside... Maybe you'll find yourself in one of my poems. Or maybe you'll see a soul that unapologetically confides. (Poetry book)Complete
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

Fragments Of A Shattered Dawn
A collection of raw, unfiltered poems that bleed with honesty. Inside these pages live the ghosts of depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, heartbreak, abuse, and grief. These words do not shy away from darkness-they sit with it, speak its language, and unravel the silence it leaves behind. But this is also a book about survival. About longing and love, even when unreturned. About desire that aches and healing that comes in imperfect forms. About the messy, jagged ways we try to piece ourselves back together. For anyone who has felt too much, or nothing at all. For anyone searching for fragments of themselves in the ruins. This is not a guide to healing. This is proof you are not alone in the storm. Trigger Warnings: Depression Self-harm Suicidal ideation Grief and loss Emotional and psychological trauma Abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual) Dissociation Heartbreak and unrequited love Loneliness and isolation Sexual themes and longing Descriptions of pain and intrusive thoughts

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
