Poetry is not something I've ever had an interest in, neither reading nor writing it. Then, on one particularly dark day in 2025, my heart cracked open, pain poured out, and a poet was born.
I write my blogs and articles for the reader. The process is tedious and challenging. But the poetry, I write for me. There is no concern for grammar or comprehension; it is just raw emotion and stream of consciousness flowing out.
My poems tend to form from darkness. But alchemy lives here, and in the end, there is always light. They aren't masterpieces, but they do heal me. And so I share them, because maybe, just maybe, they will help someone else heal, too.
