“Everything I’ve learned and unlearned.
Everything I am and everything I’ve ever been.
You’re now a witness of my life”

    Fear

    Untouched, unbothered, unscathed, Yet the labyrinth of unknown prevailed. Scattered consciousness, unbathed, The known train of thought derailed. Unwind and winged, imagination, Formed. Cryptic, unfathomed, loose Like strands of hair, unruly, untidy Filled up the sharp air. Unwillingly, We ought to give in to the nothingness. Unraveled alleys of a crooked mind, Explored to the…

    Love Lockdown

    She whimpers in the middle of the night. No, this isn’t the first time. I’ve heard her silent cries before. “Does she call my name?”   Her eyes have lost all shine. Her youth has fallen over time. I see her unruly thoughts, Unwinding, unravelling, uncluttered.   This spring has been the toughest, His shadow…

    Sakura

    Tip-toeing to the edge of the lake, I counted the steps I could take, but, “Sakura-Chan” made her stride. My big hair with chestnut skin, Her tiny feet as she leaned, “Can I touch your hair?” She giggles and wonders, She examines and ponders! Oh! What a significant human I must’ve been. The early autumn…

    Chaos

    Spiraling, Cold, shivering In pain. The voices inside my head, Louder. Doubts; I’m frozen. Glimpses Flashbacks I’m about to be sick The shard of glass Twisting & turning More & more Into my heart. I see a light – Blurry but bright, Are you going to save me? No! A reminder – It’s the end;…
