Whispers & Words

I wrote this poem while i wondered if it was normal to feel hatred towards someone that healed parts of you, and to my conclusion, i decided that healing people can be limiting, and comfort of words can turn to poison so that’s what i wrote about, this poem is about how people that healed and comforted you while you needed it can also hold you down till you suffocate . So don’t feel guilty or unkind if you decide to leave situations or people that used to make you grow but lately you have been the reason you feel worse. This poem is a thread of my thoughts, interwoven from feelings that might just be the comfort you hold on to, too.

‘To always Be Striving’ is a poem that talks about always striving for more from a prospective that isn’t talked about. It reflects that even though striving for more stands as a motivation, the dissatisfaction, worthlessness, anxiety and draining that it sometimes causes is ignored. To anyone who reads this poem and relates to it, i want you to know that your dream isn’t too small. You dont need to feel guilty for stopping when you were happy and too tired to go back for more. You deserve to be happy, content and at peace. And that looks different for everyone.

The poem “The House Of Love, Is A Visting Site” is about love, memories, and the transformation that comes from letting go. It concludes that love is not a static house you possess, rather it is a journey, and holding onto a past friendship or relationship only causes damage and hurt to you, it talks about the power,peace and happiness you feel after letting go, and thriving, finally leaving the past but taking the memories with you.

‘Scream Before You Die In Silence’ is an introspective piece about the human struggle to express inner pain. It reflects that its better to hurt out loud and heal, rather than drowning quietly in the silent pain.

‘Grown Out Hair’ is poem about exploring changes within ourselves, its about contradictions of growth as it unfolds into a deep wondering of our own identity. It questions if we truly transform, or disguise ourselves in new layers. It shows how we evolve yet remain who we are. It captures the ache of becoming better,worse and somehow both.

‘In The Crowd’ captures the familiarity of seeing someone you once knew in a sea of strangers. It explores the ache of lost friendship, the haunting ghost of its memories,connection and distance, how the past lingers and how overwhelming nostalgia can be sometimes.

‘I Guess She’s Gotta Cut Her Blue Hair Off’ is about reflection on the grief, guilt and then emotional release of loosing contact with someone dear. Its about embodying the pain to the point where it becomes who you are and then finally letting it go.

‘Doe Eyes’ is a poem that talks about the moment when your inner walls crumble, when the inner child meets the guilt, silence and exhaustion, giving way to remembrance and yearning for the original innocence. It’s about embracing vulnerability and finding ‘home’ not in escape, but in emotional truth.
