16 I am poet that tries to put the world in words
this is a story that I heard a while ago but it is not about dragons, poisoned apples, or even a strange creature. It's about a little star that fell from the ceiling one night in the Land of Nowhere. Some called it "the Child of the Moon," who grew between stories, dreams, and free will. But in the Land of Nowhere, those things were forbidden, because some of us love control, fear, and losing hope. But no one was brave enough to say something. Yeah, too much like nowadays. Should I go back to the story? Because this emptiness feels strange. And the Child of the Moon had a name, but most of them called them Hero, a special name, if you ask me. And as I said, Hero had dreams and loved stories, and they wanted to share stories with the rest of the world. And this became a purpose: to tell tales. At first, people were scared of what those things were, but slowly, they became curious. And the stories scattered across the whole land until they arrived at the kingdom. But stories are dangerous things. The kingdom knew that better than anyone. A story can make a child ask questions, dream of something more, remind a soul that it is not alone. The King did not like wondering. Neither did the council. And when whispers reached the people, they listened. Not with curiosity. With fear. And they began to fear what stories could do: make you think, question, hope. Hero knew none of this, continuing to travel from village to village, collecting dreams, sharing legends, teaching people how to imagine. Until one day, a letter arrived with a royal carriage. And for the first time, Hero wondered if stories could be hunted. It ended faster than a blink, sent back to where the Child of the Moon belonged. But every story they had told left a fingerprint on every soul that heard it. Or perhaps more than one. Lighting new paths and giving them names. But I'll never know. Because I am a story too. And I don't know if I'll ever have a name

How do I say this without getting too political or too cruel for politicians’ ears our system ***** and not just because of economy that is another discussion for when you grow up because now you are like children but I guess even a kid understands better than you when I talk about human rights and the fact that everyone should be equal but surprise we are not and I am not talking about you I am talking about women that can’t make their own choices for their body and life just because a man is considered stronger, smarter, and better I hope you’re kidding oh wait I forgot that your memory is fragile let me remind you about Marie Curie Anne Frank Emily Dickinson Joan of Arc Lilith and all excellent women from all over the world I’m talking about queer people that are scared to come out because of dogma and indoctrinated culture because some of us believe that being queer is a disease I won’t comment because I’ll get too political and I’ll hurt some fragile egos how beautiful is it to be scared of a big fat man what irony I got political, didn’t I?

I got political, didn’t I?
it started with a kiss why did we end up like this? maybe there was some time in October when something did not pass me by, with a song behind it named "Just pretend " until then, I was doing just fine until I wasn't fine anymore because I thought your eyes held stars and I started to believe it and ironically, I was happy because it was only a kiss that happened when the world wasn't ready, and neither was I but still, we had more than one in places where we did not need light to see but you know, a lot of things can't live forever because I don't believe in paradise, and you said you could believe for both of us all I had to do was stay but I couldn't, so I ran away like a hypocrite but I know you won’t let me go not because I’ll see you again but because every time I close my eyes you are still there asking me to hold you closer but all of this started with a kiss maybe I'll know someday why I ended up like this.

it started with a kiss
choke me like we are the last humans in the world while you kiss me harder and harder, until I suffocate because slowly my head is going dark like my heart that's beating for you choke me because destiny is calling me but I am scared of it scared of missing out what we could create because what if our love would make the world fall behind choke me because you are my scar but I don't wanna believe in you because slowly you came closer to my heart and somehow you filled the hollow in my chest until I forgot what emptiness tasted like just for a while choke me like you want to survive and keep the world for you and maybe you will have it just for a while because nothing lives forever because death will suffocate you too choke me because I know my end and I can't see the bright side anymore and I don't know how to believe again so choke me until your last breath.

choke me
What did they raise? A liar, an introvert, someone lost in trust and daddy issues, someone who’s stopped smiling, just a smart, scared creature trying to fix itself. And I still try. Maybe that’s not what they wanted, but it’s what I became because of them. Because of screaming, impossible expectations, and never being enough or being too much. Or maybe just a daydreamer who wanted something different. Am I wrong to dream?

what did they raise?
Out of this world, purpose is left behind in the ruins of broken dreams, not waiting for permission to appear in your life. Never understanding what hope can do Even silence carries the weight of forgotten names Shadows linger where hope used to stand Something inside, refuses to fully disappear And yet the fracture keeps shaping what remains You are what survives the breaking, not what caused it And still, you move through the wreckage as it owes you answers like meaning is something that should survive impact intact but meaning doesn’t survive, it change turning grief into habit and habit into the shape of your voice when no one is listening there are days you forget the difference between healing and just learning how to carry weight quietly you call it growth because that word sounds less harmless than what it actually is a slow rearrangement of everything you thought would stay even memory starts editing itself removing faces, softening edges as if forgetting is mercy and not another kind of loss and somewhere in that shaped silence you stop asking what you were before because the only honest answer left is that you are still here and you are alive.

out of this world
I didn’t think that you would leave that early. I thought that you would see me becoming a person, but no, you left when I didn’t expect it. And to be honest, I thought you would live forever, but I was wrong, extremely wrong, because I thought we still had time. But time isn’t fair, because I wanted to say so many things, but now it is too late to bring back that smile on my face. Because you showed me kindness, love, and life in your own ways. You had known that life isn’t easy. You had one of the hardest lives, and still, you were there. I wish I could save you and make your heart beat again, but I know you would continue to suffer. But I want you back, or just to know that you are okay. I want you back more than you think, more than my selfishness can be. But I don’t deserve to have you, and you are not coming back to me. And all of this feels like an endless cycle of thoughts, because I am scared of not being able to save everyone. Because you had so much to see, but you are not coming back.

a letter
I found out lately that life isn’t fair, not because I didn’t know it, just because, you know, I was practicing on my own without expecting it. And everything is falling apart in front of your eyes, slowly, like it is blowing in the wind. And then I realized that I’ve lost my glorious purpose. But what is the point of living, after all? To be honest, I lost it a long time ago, but something is keeping me here. I don’t know what it is, but I love it, and maybe I am glad of it. By taking a pen just to survive and to realize that you have feelings bleeding on the paper more than they should, then is that why I live? To keep searching for a muse where there is only life and light. Maybe that’s why I am a dreamer, hoping for more, because I want more from myself, to learn again how to live in a world full of destinies and hopes for the ones who want to believe.

Something Keeps Me Here
human rights what a rude thing to say you are safe until someone else’s opinion decides your existence is negotiable and you don't matter human rights something that can't be spoken by those who think they are right on paper that everyone supports, but no one defends human rights but we don't talk about people who matter just statistics nothing more maybe in the corner just a little woman with a child before she ever chose a life because no one can help her before or after and then the kid gets a label before a name before a chance but why? for a glorious purpose? and we call it normal because it happens often and what happens often stops shocking us human rights are great things felt quietly ignored efficiently for lives that could have had wings human rights what a rude thing to say

what a rude thing to say
to be fair I will never find the right words to describe this feeling like when a little kid is asking you, "are you an angel?" and you obviously say no, because you know you are nothing more than a monster and then the kid says, "Of course you are. Mum said that angels harm themselves because they don't like life on Earth. This world is destroying them, so they are trying to return to paradise again. they are too sensitive to the pain of others and their own." I've wanted to say that I don't believe in paradise, and that the world is making scars on your body because the world is mean, and this makes you end up being mean to yourself. but at the same time, the world can be there for you without you expecting it, in the most beautiful way so I just told him that his mum is very wise and I got, "thank you. she's also an angel, but she already returned home.
