Sharing my pain would heal me, i thought.
So I opened up
told them everything.
The sleepless nights, the buried fears, the truth.

And they listened.
But not to understand.

They turned my story into gossip.
My wounds into entertainment.
Some even laughed.

That’s when I learned
not everyone deserves your truth.
Some people don’t hold your pain.
They dance to it.

Some hearts are too shallow to hold deep wounds. Share carefully , not every ear deserves your truth.

In God, We Don’t Trust

🛐

If my trust in God’s love were complete,

My prayers wouldn’t beg for change,

they’d whisper thanks for the earthquake .

☔️

Faith isn’t always a peaceful acceptance. Sometimes, it’s a whispered rebellion dressed as prayer. because belief is easiest when life is kind, and hardest when we’re asked to live without answers.

A Final Teaching

For 2 years, we've met, until now, I stop.
Arranging impassion's unpleasentationships
in this 10th year, doubtlessness's equipped
to unveil all of his un-friendship.

I'll leave here.

I leave behind.

  I'll leave today-

         & wont return.

When you go so far and facetiously thank-
  what you know to seek forgiveness for
Your once full words, empty and blank
while guises of gratitude implore.

All the cop outs and shifting blame
To grow up and then blow away again
Us tortured youths, from diamond minds
Extrapolate all that we may find
Worthy, of exchanging for our flesh's  time-
Insidiousness perpetuates the implicit crime.

All that's perceived against one's will
Something inside the heart's absorbant Freckled iris, the minds eye's staring still-
Each kiss quoted with smile's abhorrent.

As if I could make a deal with God,
and get him to change our places-
I'd be running up that road. Running.
   Running.
Running.
Running-

With no problems.

To Dr. Ariel Graff,
Written the second last time I was in his house, read now during my final visit, written down and left behind.

Who Betrayed You?

🫵

Tell me..

who betrayed you?

Not a stranger,
never a stranger.

Strangers don’t get close enough
to wound that deep.

It was a relative,
with your blood in their mouth.

A friend,
with your secrets in their grip.

A lover,
whispering forever
while packing knives.

Or maybe
that one person you trusted
more than yourself.

Betrayal wears
a familiar face.

It always knows
exactly where to aim.

This poem reframes betrayal not just as a wound, but as a moment of clarity, a harsh teacher that reveals the illusions we wrap around closeness. It reflects on the fragile line between trust and naivety, and the strength forged in the aftermath of pain.

No Enemies

Its very weird…

I looked into their faces
the ones who truly broke me.
No enemies among them.

Just Brutus,
in many forms,
smiling.
Familiar hands,
and mouths,
that once said

I never would.

as they held the knife
like a gift.

This piece reflects on the dissonance between pain and intent - how the deepest betrayals often come not from enemies, but from those closest to us. The reference to Brutus evokes the timeless sting of betrayal by someone trusted, echoing Caesar’s famous last breath: “Et tu, Brute?”

Trust in God

When you are lost,
trust in God.
When the road is clear,
still lean on His wisdom.

The winds may rise,
and shadows may fall,
but His light
never fades.

Some days feel like endless night,
yet some nights carry heaven’s glow.
In every season,
His promises remain.

“With God, all things are possible.”
Not just in moments of glory,
but in stillness,
in struggle,
in the unseen grace that grows.

Just trust in God.

I Am a Blessing

I Am a Blessing, and
you are too,
The Lord has done
so many great things for you,
yes, it's true!!!

You are a Blessing,
Less catastrophe, and
less stressing
He allowed you to see
a brand new day, and
started you on your merry way!!!

I Am a Blessing,
I Am a Testimony,
I have been though a lot,
Oh, can't you just see!!!

I Am a Blessing, and
You should feel the same,
You got a lot to be thankful for,
I claim this in Jesus name!!!

You are a Blessing,
I just wanted you to know,
Keep your trust in Him, and
From this, you will grow!!!!

The Ocean

It will never return
Every single day a wish sets sail
But nothing ever floats back
The constant churn of the tide
Is a clockwork peril
A nomadic timekeeper
Telling us over and over
And over again
The time has come
To look elsewhere

Inspired by Barbara R Maxwell's poem "The Ocean":

Once You Lie

Of all the games
we learned to play
with jokes, with rules,
with risk and trust
we never chose
to lie.

But then you did.
And nothing
held.

No knot was tight,
no safe word sure,
no breath between us
true.

A whispered “yes”
became a guess,
and touch
a kind of theft.

Now every scene
rewinds itself,
the lines we drew
blurred…

For once a lie
slips past the lips,
nothing
truly grips.

Some wounds don’t bruise. They whisper. A single lie can unravel what a thousand touches built.

Murdered

I will die for you, with a smile on my face
To protect you with all of my life and soul
To bleed and bruise, unyielding and stubborn
A fantasy every man yearned to do for his lover

But the murderer stabbed my heart, my love
Twisted it with the dagger I happily gave them
My most beautiful killer with the pained face
A nightmare every man feared about their lover
