it’s not sad. it’s not wrong. but in 2026 you can scream and still not be understood the way you should be. you can stay where there are no signs, where the ***** wait for you in the harbor, and still be forgotten in a moment. we both know: flowers arrive when it’s too late to feel them, or even think, for a second, “these are beautiful.” the dice were thrown with the wrong calculation. and suddenly, you become everything you were never allowed to be in their eyes. don’t cry. and I wonder — who does it hurt more, between us? you, the reader, beyond the screen, or me, the one who twists words like knives in a wound? only… you’re not here anymore to hear it. or to see it. so— who am I talking to?

Who Am I Talking To?
It’s funny how a single moment can unravel an entire night. You see someone you once thought "maybe", standing close to someone else— laughing, softer than you’ve ever seen them, existing in a version of reality you were never invited into. And suddenly, it’s not about them anymore. It becomes about you. About all the times you were "almost", but never quite chosen. About how easy it is for you to become “safe,” “understanding,” “brother.” About how you can read everyone so well, yet fail to rewrite your own place in their story. This piece comes from that strange space between clarity and collapse where you understand everything logically, but still feel something breaking quietly inside. Where you can explain everyone’s behavior, justify every situation, and still sit with a heaviness you can’t name. Maybe it’s not rejection. Maybe it’s the weight of always being the one who adapts, who gives, who understands but rarely the one someone leans toward. If you’ve ever walked away from a crowd just to breathe, just to hold yourself together, just to make sense of why it hurts when technically, nothing is wrong this one is for you.

Safe, Soft and ....almost
the silence in my room was suffocating, it smelled like mold and dust as i took the blade out again. it looked better than other days, looking kinder than most things do a happy promise, wearing a halo of relief. it felt comforting, knowing all it takes is letting it meet my skin. i got tired of saying this, but just because my grief isn’t loud doesn’t mean it isn’t there. it sits quietly, heavy on my chest, the gut-wrenching pain, the guilt of not crying out loud, the guilt of not screaming. so i held my breath as i forgot, i suppose, sometimes i even fail to remember what purpose oxygen serves in the human body. my body was never a devoted follower of the One above, but my mind was. was… but now… it makes me a bit sad. but isn’t history always a bit sad? flaws are, after all, virtues turned upside down. i read once we tend to become what we are called. i am afraid i could become nothing more than a haunted memory. funny, how i was never called memorable or haunting. keeping the blade aside, i walked out. the world was too loud today. i stood over the footbridge, watching cars blur into nothing. the wind carried a taste of fresh rain, and for a moment, it made me think how the concrete never looked so soft before soft enough to rest.

Concrete; Soft Enough to Rest
Birds plucking dirt out of my eyes— this vision scavenged clean. Inner angry voices circling overhead, and ugly choices with hooked beaks. I take the battle into my own hands, knuckles twisted with truth and lies— a courtroom built in my skull, thinking through crime eyes. There's a crime of passion— where the heart gets stabbed first. ***** it—I rip the roof off my thoughts just to see what leaks out. Broken ceilings, exposed skies, biting into life with a missing tooth— survival looks feral, when you’re far from home and even farther from love. So vultures kneel on barren ground, their shadows choking the soil where no seed dares breathe. But something violent is growing in me— ...a rose forcing its way through bone and dirt, thorns clawing out of my eyes to pinch my dreams, awake. Exotic? Ironic? No! Just a body crying more hours than it sleeps— starving in fields where weeds grow faster than food. Still; somewhere beyond this wasteland there has to be a place where something living can finally feed.

THORNS IN MY EYES
Today is the day of failure a complete failure doing everything to never be enough. Why is man never satisfied with his condition? Because man is constantly searching for unconditional happiness without any certainty of finding it. We're talking about certainties that don't exist. They're merely illusions that fuel our childhood lives, but when we realize this, it will be too late...

Certainties That Dont Exis
I’m only liquid for fears, drowning quietly in them, a slow flood behind my ribs, no warning signs, no lifeguards in sight. You will be a sunflower, but only as far as you choose to reach out for the sun, bending your whole body toward light, even if the light burns, even if the roots ache from pulling. Happiness comes—eager, but never permanent— it’s a guest that tracks mud on your floor, leaves its jacket behind; just to remind you it was here, but gone before you could ask it to stay. The good things in life never seem to last a lifetime, and going out into this world feels like reaching for a lifeline, but all I catch is air— _thin, trembling air._ Since birth you were beautiful, but survival forced you to wear the ugliness of the world— stitched hand-me-down scars, fabric heavy with someone else’s shame. Each day is a costume change that doesn’t fit, but you wear it anyway, because naked truth doesn’t pay rent. We are all swelling with an opus of urban angst, the kind that hums under flickering streetlights, the melodic slang of hoodlum teens trading cigarettes for sentences, has become the hustle talk of men trying to feed the same hunger that never grew up. Yearning to be something. Yearning to be someone. Constellations made of shattered glass windows, cracked stars on the concrete, chasing after the sun as if the further we run, the closer it comes, but the horizon never owes us an answer. To love, to be loved— truth arrives dressed in lies at the start, perfumed to disguise the rot. We impress, but we press too hard, we call it romance but it’s theatre, and every stage ends in torn curtains. This life is love, but love isn’t so full of life when it hangs uneven, dangling off one side like a crooked frame. _Luck isn’t justice._ Cause and effect rarely add up to cause what’s fair. And yet we paint our burning visions next to piss-splashed garbage bins, turning dumpsters into backdrops, spray-painting scars into murals that smell like waste, mistaking rage for art. Scars deserve worth, not mockery. But too often, anger becomes our brush, dipped in venom, flung at the wall, and the picture never reaches far— _a masterpiece meant for healing drowned out by noise_.

Scars for Canvas

Do you crave attention? Is that why you play the influencer— not because you have something to give, but because something is missing. Applause. Adoration. Affection. Love. But you cannot fake influence, you cannot pretend to be what you are not. Makeup fades. And at the end of the day, when the mirror stares back, you still hate yourself— and everyone has already forgotten

The Mirror Forgets You
Sé que si te veo, vos me mirarías feo, y me preguntarías: ¿Así de mierda me volví? Yo te diría sí, y lo siento mucho por ser así. Está bien si me odias, yo también me odio. No pude cumplir tus sueños, y ahora me he vuelto una simple máquina que solo reacciona a lo que le sucede. Pero dejó de pensar en su bienestar y en los lazos que tiene. Le dio igual sus amistades, y se quedó solo pensando en lo académico. Lo siento. No soy la persona que tú querías que fuera. Me mirarías y solo golpearías mi cabeza, y sé que, aunque estés pequeña, tratarías de matarme. Matar a un adolescente que su alma está muerta, y solo se volvió un cadáver andante.
