Days blurred into seasons, and somehow… I reached twenty-two. No pride. No sense of arrival. Only a weight in my chest that won’t lift. I look back for meaning— for anything that says I lived. But I find nothing. Time moves. I don’t. They become. I remain. I chose a path they warned me about— a dark forest I thought I could cross. But the light left a long time ago. And every step only takes me deeper. I was meant to become something… instead, I’m searching for what’s left of me. Time slips. I sink. And somewhere along the way, I became a burden— on them… and on myself. Now, at twenty-two, I wonder… was there ever a way out, or was I just getting lost all along?

At the Edge of Twenty-Two
I dream of you, so soft, so near, A world where love feels true and clear. I dreamt a life where you were mine, A place untouched by space or time. I wished to stay, to never wake, To hold a love that would not break. But morning came, the dream was gone, And I was left to stand alone. If dreams can bring you back to me, Then sleep shall be my destiny. For only there, in midnight’s view, I dreamt of love, I dreamt of you.

I Dreamt of You
I met you like a river meets the ocean, 
You lit my world like the sun lights the earth.
 I loved you like a bee loves flowers,
 I longed for you like a penguin dreams to fly. But some dreams are never meant to be,
 Like the moon reaching for the sun.
 Yet still, you remain—
 Forever in my heart.

A Penguin’s Dream
Can’t breathe, can’t believe, Can’t smile without you near. I don’t know you, I don’t see you, Yet I wish that you were here. I give you my love, though you’re just a dream, A shadow I chase, unseen. I don’t know if I’ll ever find you, But I love you—even without knowing you.

Without Knowing You
Stars fall, rain falls, I swore I’d never fall at all. Then a rose bloomed, soft and bright, And in its beauty, I lost the fight. I fell for you when I swore I wouldn’t, Gave you my heart when I knew I shouldn’t. I had love to give, endless and true, But I fell… for someone who walked away.

Falling
Clouds gather, whispering pain, The sky breaks open, drowns in rain. A storm that speaks what I can’t say, Lost in echoes, washed away. A mind too heavy, a heart too fast, Chasing shadows of the past. No rest, no air, no space to be, Just tears and rain—and only me

Tears & Rain
I feel empty, I feel torn, A heart once whole, now weathered, worn. Eyes run dry, yet echoes ache, A love once given, now a mistake. I gave you all, you gave me pain, Left me drowning in the rain. Wished for you, wished to stay, But wishes fade, they drift away. Love’s a dream, not meant for me, Happiness—just fantasy. Alone, forgotten, lost at sea, A broken soul—that is me.

Lost in the Silence
I laugh, I joke, I wear the mask, I act so strong, yet break so fast. You see me whole, but I am weak, A love unspoken, yet so deep. I loved you knowing love’s not fair, A silent wish, a whispered prayer. But love is cruel—it never stays, Just lingers long in shadowed days. A heart once shattered, lost in time, A love that’s his, yet never mine. You call me ‘friend,’ and so I’ll be, A soul that loves yet won’t be free.

The love that shouldn’t be
Sun rises, moon shines. The ocean sings, the stars dance. You make my world. Your smile makes my eyes shine, Your voice melts into my ears, Your touch makes my heart dance. You make the world beautiful, For there is no world without you. You make my world.

You make my world
I see nothing—nothing but you.
 A crystal rose in a valley of flowers, 
Too precious to touch, too radiant to ignore. I couldn’t pick you, yet I couldn’t look away.
 You weren’t mine to hold, 
But forever mine to admire. Destined to fade, watching from afar, 
Loving what I could never have. 
You were my crystal rose—
You were my love
