I don’t know how people feel when they lose their partner, but I know the pain of losing someone close. It’s the kind of pain that just sits with you quietly. You can be fine, then suddenly you’re not.I lost my dad when I was six, and I can still tell you everything. From the… Continue reading Coping with Loss

I am Okay
Here’s the thing about choices,it’s a quiet kind of freedom.We make choices, sometimes wrong ones,because that’s how the world names them.And then we carry the shame like a lifetime sentence. I refuse to live there.I refuse to let guilt become a room I sleep in. I chose you.I chose to let you inside me,and I… Continue reading I am Okay
Behind the Poem: I’m Still Broken
I wrote this poem after a conversation I had with someone close to my heart.A moment that could’ve ended everything — not because he did something wrong,but because my wounds were louder than his love. That’s the thing about healing… it’s not linear.Sometimes your heart still hears footsteps from the past,even when someone new is… Continue reading Behind the Poem: I’m Still Broken

One day we will fight, And I know things will not be as they are right now. I want you to know I'll still be there. I'll stay by your side and ask to fix us. One day, someone will come between us, Our love will be put to the test, And trust pushed to… Continue reading One Day
You Are Worthy
I’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places, I’ve left the wrong traces, met the wrong faces, I’ve given out pieces of my heart to the wrong masses, People that did not deserve a single piece, In the end all I did was deny myself peace, At some point I thought this is… Continue reading You Are Worthy
