In shadows deep where silence dwells
A heart once lost in private hells
With whispered pain, the scars did show
Yet from these wounds, a light can grow.

Each tear that falls like morning dew
A testament that battles true.
With every dawn, a chance to mend
To seek the strength in love.

Hands trembling, I let go of the past,
embrace the warmth, and breathe at last.
In colors bright, my spirit sings
As hope unfolds on fragile wings.

The road is long, with twists and turns
Yet in the struggle, my spirit learns.
To find joy in simple grace
In every step, I find my place.

So if you feel the weight of night
Remember, dear, you’re not alone in the fight.
Together we’ll rise, through pain to soar
With hearts united, we’ll heal once more.

In a mirror's grip, I lost my way, Chasing shadows
both night and day. Numbers defined my worth and fear
Yet whispered truths began to draw near. Each meal a mountain
each bite a test

Deep inside, I longed for rest.
With trembling hands, I took the leap
Embracing nourishment, no longer to weep.
With every bite, I reclaim my light

Tearing down walls, preparing for flight.
Shed the guilt, embrace the fight,
Finding strength in shadows, a spark in the night.
I celebrate life, unmasked and unmade

A journey of wholeness; I’m no longer afraid.
With open arms, I greet what’s to come
A path towards healing; I’ve only begun.

I’ve written about this before—
the missing piece.

Yes, the piece is already here.
I don’t need to search for anything.

Who said emptiness must be filled?
Who said it’s even empty?
Couldn’t it be a wound
that only needs to heal?

I am already whole.
I just need to be aware of it—
and that
is the hardest part.

is there anything wrong
with being just
a spectator of life?
watching the living go
the dead return
not letting it shake me
never caught off guard
just letting it flow
as if some great sage
had been reborn in me
and nothing was new
under the sun

You can chase the sun, sail every sea,
Climb every peak you dream to see.
But peace won’t come from outer skies—
It lives within, not where it lies.

Until you calm your inner tide,
No place on Earth will feel like pride.

I have retired from temptations of attention.
I’ve retired from the need to judge.
I’ve retired from feeling like I need that moment,
And I’ve retired from feeling too sad.

I have retired into a place of contemplation —
A place nearby, and where I sit.

I have retired from feeling guilty,
And I’ve retired from needing your yes.

I am retired.

Distractions
They turn a man into a lazy soul,
a responsible citizen into a careless one,
a meritorious student into the disobedient,
and a kind heart into something selfish.
They **** righteousness,
while building a false sense of self-esteem.
They drown us in the unnecessary—
a flood of moments we never asked for.
Distractions feel comforting when we’re caught in them,
but they leave us with regret the moment we step away.
Keeping them at a distance
is the first step toward change—
toward becoming who we were always meant to be.
They come quietly,
feel comforting for a while,
but leave us with nothing but regret.
The first step toward becoming better
is knowing what to walk away from.

“When life seems tough, nature heals.”
Sometimes all we need is a quiet walk, a sky full of clouds, or the touch of a breeze to remind us — peace still exists. Nature doesn’t ask questions; it simply holds space for our healing.

Don’t rely on others to make you happy.
People change. Circumstances shift. Expectations hurt.

Instead, learn to find your own little ways to enjoy life —
a walk under the sky,
a song that speaks your soul,
a dream you quietly chase,
a moment of peace you gift yourself.

Because real happiness?
It blooms within — not from someone else,
but from you.
Be your own reason to smile.

"When life seems tough, nature becomes the silent healer—calming the mind, soothing the soul, and reminding us that even storms pass."
In the chaos of life, nature whispers peace.
A walk among trees, the sound of rain, or a gentle breeze—
sometimes that's all the therapy we need.
