The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete
The Weight We Carry
Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.

When The Lights Went Out
A soul withdrawn from the world, finding comfort only in silence, carries a wound no light can reach. Shadows are safer than connection, and solitude becomes both refuge and prison. Into this darkness steps a spirit unbroken by blindness, one who chooses kindness even when life has offered only pain. Where others see loss, there is still light; where others turn bitter, there is still grace. A tale of contrasts, of wounds and wonder, of two hearts bound by fate yet destined to fall apart.
Poisoned Innocence - discontinued.
- my works # 3 - To fear is one thing. To let fear grab you by your limbs and swing you around is another. It's the needle that pierces us, carries around a thread to bind us to heaven. The lengthened shadow of ignorance. To me, fear is a controlling trait that can slap you the around and make you do whatever the hell it wants. It's static, it blocks my hearing, and blinds my sight. It's something i've felt ever since i've met him.Complete
SCP 2357-JM The lonely hero
This work was born from a real place of pain, isolation, and reflection. I haven't created content before because I wanted to build something meaningful, not just entertain. Some passages may be explicit, but each scene has a purpose: to show the invisible scars that society ignores. It's not gratuitous violence, it's memory. It's not morbid horror, it's a warning. There are no perfect heroes here, just broken humans who are still fighting. Thank you for reading something different.Complete

How To Harm People Without Harming Them; Book 1 [COMPLETE]
We all carry wounds that no one else can see - betrayals, lies, harsh words, or silent rejections that leave a mark deeper than any bruise. In those moments, the instinct is often to fight back, to hurt the ones who hurt us. But revenge rarely brings peace; it only ties us tighter to the people we want to escape. This book is not about revenge. It is about something far more powerful. To harm without harming means to take away the control that others once had over you - to silence cruelty without becoming cruel yourself, to rise so high that the pain no longer reaches you. What follows are principles, lessons, and stories about turning pain into power. Not through hatred, not through violence, but through strength, clarity, and quiet victories. This is the path of freedom. This is how you harm people without harming them.Complete
