I write because I never learned how to scream.
Because some feelings don't fit in conversations,
so I press them between the lines like flowers in forgotten books.
Because I loved people who never looked back
and held on to moments that only I remembered.
These poems? They are not crafted-they're confessed.
I don't write to impress. I write to feel less alone.
To give shape to the ache in my chest,
to let the silence have a voice,
and to stitch together all the pieces I broke quietly.
If my words sound like something you never said out loud,
it's because I've spent years turning unsaid things into metaphors.
And if you stay long enough,
maybe you'll find a version of your pain dressed in my punctuation.
