Whispers

At the peak of midnight where its solemnly silent, in the mysterious realm of the night, where darkness veils the world, my thoughts take shape, unraveling like a tapestry of ominous reflections. Shadows dance, weaving intricate patterns that mirror the complexities of my inner self.

Sometimes, within this nocturnal sanctuary, I find solace. Happiness blossoms briefly, suspended in the delicate threads of thought. In those moments, simplicity reigns, and I feel liberated from the burdens of the day.

Yet, more often than not, the descent into night brings despair. The breath of morning carries suffocating tendrils, weaving invisible shackles that entangle my spirit. Reasons for this anguish elude me, like distant whispers lost in the wind. Stagnation grips me tightly, and respite feels elusive.

I am drawn into a swirling vortex, a void of inertia. Lost amidst fragmented thoughts and vacant gazes, I float aimlessly, trapped in an unfathomable realm. The shattered mirrors of my mind reflect a self divided, each crack representing a fracture within. These splintered fragments pierce my soul, causing a bittersweet flow of excised pain. I surrender helplessly to this lacerating embrace.

Friends offer their solace, their comforting presence a balm for my wounded spirit. Yet, the chasm remains. I struggle to blend, wearied by the thought of explaining my intricate depths. I am tempted to lower my standards, engaging in banal conversations and vapid discourse, sacrificing my principles for the sake of acceptance. But such a path is untenable, for it would betray the very essence of who I am.

No, I refuse to descend into those depths. I will not compromise the principles that shape my being. This solitude, though self-imposed, is my choice, and I accept the fate it brings. Lamentation serves no purpose in this realm of my own design.

And so, I write. I write to pour out my thoughts and feelings, seeking solace in the act of putting pen to paper. It is ironic, however, that as I write to heal, solace eludes me in this very moment. The words, an extension of my essence, lack their usual healing touch.

Yet, I write with a flicker of hope. A hope that someday, someone will truly feel the symphony of my story, resonating deep within their own being. In these words, I yearn to bridge the unfathomable distance that separates us, to connect on a profound level.

Perhaps then,

the healing touch of words will return,

and solace will find its way back to me.

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

The Tension Between Hope and Despair

This is w here the light breaks just to drown. Hope isn’t some pretty thing. It’s a slow burn that keeps you awake at night, fooling you with a whisper, “Maybe this time.” It digs its claws in, even when everything screams you’re done. Hope’s the hook you can’t shake, even when it’s tearing you apart from the inside. Despair doesn’t wait politely. It crashes in like a storm, cold and sharp, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready or not. It doesn’t dance with hope—they fight. It’s brutal, ugly. Despair wants to swallow everything whole, leaves no room for mercy. There’s no peace between them. It’s a war you didn’t sign up for, but you live it every damn day—grasping for that fragile flicker, even as the darkness tightens around your throat. You hold hope like a lifeline but feel despair pulling the knot tighter. No balance. No graceful dance. Just a mess of broken promises and shattered dreams. Hope keeps you chasing ghosts; despair waits, patient, knowing it will win. And the worst p...
