  • JUST ENOUGH

    I stayed standing
    Not steady—
    Just enough
    to pass as strength.

    Bending quietly.

    Hands shaking.

    Mind slipping—
    just enough to lose hold.

    No one noticed
    how close I was.

  • they never stop running—until they crash.

  • INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

    I take my intrusive thoughts
    out for walks—
    like they belong to me.

    They don’t leave.
    They don’t quiet.

    I try to sleep them off,
    but they follow me there too.

    Every night,
    the same loop—

    no exit.

  • REVIVAL

    Regrowth is not gentle.
    I died at midnight—

    A slow bleed,
    crying spells,
    fractures beneath the surface.

    Learning to grow
    in the soil of last year’s failures—
    they are lessons,
    not a death sentence.

    I shed the stories that kept me small,
    shut the doors that fed the dark.
    I make peace with sunlight,
    and the quiet pull of moonlit nights.

    I embrace the changes—

    soft,
    loud,
    necessary.

    I hold the tender moments.

    I love—despite the madness.

    Revival.

  • 4AM

    4am
    While the world sleeps,
    I am lost
    between agony and hope

    Hot tears,
    cold dreams,
    the ghost in the mirror is me.
    The weight of unmoved mountains
    hangs heavy in my soul.

    Thunderstorm afternoons,
    another day of pretending.

    The voices cannot hold my hand,
    they only suffocate me.
