This one scared me the most. Because it wasn't about the past. It was present tense. Still active. Still running. Still affecting everything it touches. No closure. No end. Just ongoing. And I though healing meant that things would stop hurting. But sometimes healing just means you learn to function while it still does. ––xx10m

Warning Labels: Still In Use

“Warning Labels” is a poetic series built around emotional caution signs attached to inner experiences. Each piece explores memory, emotional fragility, perception vs reality, and ongoing healing. The tone stays reflective and grounded, with a slightly haunting realism that makes it strong for spoken word, edits, or serialized storytelling. The full set works best when read in order as a psychological progression.
