In this moment, Is unbridled joy, Unlike any seen, Is unfathomable despair, Unlike ever expected. In this moment, Something begins, Making the heart beat faster, Something ends, Making everything go blank. In this moment, Someone has an orgasm, Sees paradise, Someone loses an organ, Sees hell. In this moment, Someone comes back home, Meets familiar [...]

You’re Beautiful When You Smile
I see you, Thinking and over-thinking, Caring too much About every little detail. Yes, it's important. But when you stop Once in a long while And just smile, You're just beautiful. I hear you, Go on and on endlessly, Voicing your heart As well as that big brain. Yes, it's needed. But when you take [...]
Be a Little Selfish
To the selfless ones, To the gregarious guns, To the duty-bound, I write. There's no shame, There's no unfair game, There's no need of guilt for you, I plead. You are allowed, You can be equally proud, You should live a little for yourselves, I urge. Even if you are pivotal for someone, Even if [...]
I Believe
I believe There's more in me Than I've ever seen, Than I've ever done, Than I know. I believe There's more in you Than you let show, Than you let be heard, Than you know. I believe There's more in this world Than the happiest joy, Than the saddest sorrow, Than we know. I'm not [...]
My Reflection
When I was little, I thought That the only place Where I could see My reflection Was the mirror. Turns out I was wrong. My reflection Is everywhere I look around. Literally everywhere. My reflection Is in the water, On the drinking glass, In the eating steel spoon, On building facades, On my front-facing camera. [...]

It doesn't matter How "embarrassing" a feat You've managed to pull off. There would've been always, always Many others before you Who have done the same. Made a fool of yourself In love, At work, Amongst strangers, In front of everyone who knows you? Yeah, there've been others before you. Variations of Fallen off, Fallen [...]
When the Makeup Comes Off
When the makeup comes off, What do I see? What I like Or everything that worries me? That bright stain of colour On my lips When wiped off Exposing the natural tint. That blush of liveliness On my cheeks When washed away Exposing the real skin. That dash of deep kohl On my eyes When [...]
Single on Valentine’s
Single on Valentine's? So like they all ask, Tell me too, What's wrong with you? Can't you bring yourself To adjust To whatever or whoever Life throws at you? Do you have too many False opinions Of how well-deserving You think are you? Don't you feel the need To rush into a relationship To not [...]
Not Good Enough
They told you Not once, Not twice, But again and again and again That you are not good enough. They thought the repetition Will drill it Into your mind, Into your soul That you are not good enough. They were sure that You will give up, You will stop Out of exhaustion accepting That you [...]
The Same Mistake
He had sworn to himself, On everything he had, On everything he was, That never ever again Would he make the same mistake. He had fallen too deep down, Been stepped on, Been forgotten, To make him realize To not make the same mistake. He had been broken Beyond repair, Beyond penance, To know how [...]
