Writing has been my solace in processing life's challenges. My first poem found a home on a now-defunct site. Since then, I've journaled my small victories and quiet sorrows. As time and my feelings evolve, I hope to find the courage to share them here.
The scorched door to hell and pearly gates of heaven dwell in the same realm with One key, both can open the darkness will be dispelled with a brilliance at every end

Beginning is the End
Let me regain... the self-worth I've forgotten my buried confidence and ebbing self-esteem the identity I covered with constant threat of judgement reinstate boundaries, secure my privacy Let me take back... my own peace of mind my ability to choose any time my voice to speak my mind; let me hold the reins, and decide... to move on from being deprived to know happiness again, and relax with less worries Let me collect... those times with you I wasted the precious support I needed the many hands I was offered... without fear, freely fail and succeed then once again, be free to reconnect It sounds selfish, but I'm doing it for myself, and those who deserves me

re:coup
You embraced mortality too!  I didn't expect that from you. Sorry I refused to rule, sorry I left you on your own. We were gods before,   now we are but fools Traded our eternities for a cause; mine for selfish adventures, don't know yet what's yours No regrets in my cycles... Have you prepared for yours? Not all incarnations are easy I hope next time; it's you I'll see

Time's a hateful friend Gracious with chances Until When you badly need it If ever we'll miss ours If what we have sours Then Let me save the hours Should my memories bleach Or I be incapable of speech Please Know I'm still within reach

WAIT
We saw each other more often frequent as the primes in 1 to 10 Mending each other’s boredom widening our degrees of freedom Ranted on things under the sun Noted our signs, roots, and sum We took turns airing problems Shared proofs for peer checking Did sanity check on our numbers Whether in life, music, or games Exchanged secrets and dreams Reciprocated emojis and DMs In the end, we skipped one thing An asymptote we avoid touching Assumed “us” was undefined Then met our limits and resigned

I Hate Math [Part 2]
I have travelled through time with nothing but a pen Dark secrets welled in paired rhymes silently praying to be cleansed Miserably failed with slurred line only growing tensed wary 'til the end Lips tight, sealed with murky mind attempts to converse a glimmer of sense

Drunken Writing
Wandered so long I desire to cease being on my own for without ease I've pressed on I've fought alone enough My battles, many to count Relinquish control Cry for help catch my fall Guide my leap and fix my fate

Companion
Math is where we first met I observed you from my seat, Occasionally glancing at the door Thought you were cute and cool Oh no, you caught me staring! Then... things took a weird turn Suddenly you started reeling As if having diarrhea and burn Like a fish out of water, uneasy While miming weirdly at me Your eyes pointed at my paper, Then a series of stupid motions I had to lip read; you said “answer” You gestured to copy my solution Oh crap! Stop goading me please… My emotions, bordered love and hate Infatuation, now, transitioned to regret You ignited an inner battle I can’t take My grades here weren’t that high! God, I’m no good with numbers! I tried protesting, but your eyes… They were pleading… I surrendered

I Hate Math [Part 1]
Oh, immortals of the world Transcending the sun and cold In the mellow and warm to the frigid steelen hard The flight to the expanse and your dive to the oceans Rising up again to the skies yet leaves no ash behind The dwelling of leviathans and of the heavenly ethereal within reach of your dominance the mere mortals of the world the very life of this blue-lit abode forever tied to your existence Life begs for mercy for it dies and lives both in your absence and in your presence
