People perform confidence while privately feeling unseen, uncertain, and inadequate. Many overthink, mask their pain behind composure, or feel lost trying to find their place in the world.
This short poem captures that quiet struggle the hopelessness, exhaustion, disconnection, self criticism, and numbness that live beneath the surface. It reflects on awareness: observing internal pain, questioning it, and seeking answers that never seem to come.
Brain Matter uncovers what it feels like to search for guidance in a world that only answers with silence a rhythm of repetition, yearning, and unanswered questions.

existential crisis: wellness and health
-> for the ones who are hurt, heartbroken, overthinking, overwhelmed, and feel like they're slowly suffocating: -> for the ones who are deeply madly in love, are terribly obsessed, and or in a state of unrequitedness: -> for the ones who are self serving, self loving, and are seeking pleasure all the same... "I hope you find the comfort you are looking for"
Mind {Prose Vol. 2}✔
❝In my mind, there is pain. I am exhausted. I feel defeat from my hair tips to my feet- my body feels the stress weighing down on my shoulders. I try and try every day, but nothing seems to go my way. In my mind, there is pain, yet I try because one day, I will feel great. The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited poems I wrote extemporaneously (ages 16-18), as well as a chockfull of quotes.

Scar Tissue
This is not a collection of poems-it's a resurrection. Through haunting, intimate verses, this book chronicles the journey from darkness into light-through depression, anxiety, trauma, and survival. Each poem is a pulse of memory, a scar that speaks, a whisper that refuses to die. Told with raw honesty and cinematic beauty, it captures what it means to lose everything and still rise. The voice within these pages does not seek perfection-it seeks truth. From grief to healing, from silence to scream, from despair to defiance-this is a story of being broken open and reborn. For anyone who has ever felt unseen, unloved, or unheard-these words are for you. You are not alone. You never were.Complete
Poems of Pain and Solitude
For every person out there that was quiet, not because they chose to be so, but because they were choking in the smoke. Because their opinions were apparently not worth anything. Because they didn't know just how to say what they felt. For every person that is consumed by their own thoughts, the derision from the outside world only making it worse. For every soul that was drowning in remorse and anguish on restless nights. For every soul that says I love you in the dark and in the mirror because no one else does. For the floors we would pace while anxiety sunk its teeth into us. For the mirrors that we would break while shame echoed its laugh in our caged walls. For the hearts that would ache while loneliness was the only company. For every moment of pain and solitude in this world that feels too cruel for such young and frail minds.Complete
