Growing up I used to be scared of the static on the television. It was loud, jarring and made me flinch everytime I stumbled across it while my small fingers clumsily pushed the buttons of my remote in an effort to get the sound to go away. Now as I lay in bed I hear the static all around me. The sound covers me like a thick wool blanket, suffocating me in its warmth. And I no longer have a remote to help me stop it's incessant ringing. I just close my eyes and become consumed by it all. - Midnight Static is a collection of small essays, thoughts, and poems that plague me when I try to sleep. - This work was originally titled 2:00 am but I have since removed and edited past chapters.

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
