Emergence
I've been reduced to a dwarf planet. I lay bonded with the trauma at its core. The wound was invisible but still so painful. Discarded at the end and left abandoned at the the door. I was applauded once, enormous with potential. We reached our expiration date extremely early. I failed to crumble while you soiled my name. I abstained from doubt to preserve my identity. There was a hymn full of gospel and truth. A purge of discovery and exclusion. You were never on my team, never on my side. It was me versus you and everyone else under the sun., There was no reason for your madness. You trapped yourself in a conspiracy of your own making. I lay forgotten in the numb and the dark. My name is spoken in whispers where I'm still unseen. You didn't value any of my contributions. Your silence has given me much needed clarity. No closure or even apology why I must suffer. I've tamed the external chaos, now I'm focusing internally. I prospered so much without you. My orbit is lonely but I'm fine with no distractions. My imbalance does not alter my true status. I'm not defined by coordinates anymore, I'm now a celestial constellation. You can't get rid of me even though you've tried. I'll be beyond your grasp so pay me no mind

The Weight of Unfinished Heartbeats
There is a place where time does not flow—not forward, not backward, but sideways, like a river hesitating at the edge of a cliff. It is the pause between one breath and the next, the silence between heartbeats, where the unfinished things go.

The Vipers in My Mouth
The Vipers in My Mouth by [] There’s a nest of vipers that lives inside my mouth. I feel them there—coiled and twitching, always moving, always awake. They never sleep, no matter how still I try to be. Sometimes they seem calm, barely stirring, as if my quiet efforts to tame them have worked. But other times… other times they writhe, angry and impatient, pressing against my teeth like prisoners behind bars, begging to be let loose.

Can Inner Stability Be Your Ultimate Shield?
When you're stable within, nothing external can truly shake you. Often, life is a psychological game. Others might try every tactic to make you anxious, panic, or impatient, hoping to induce poor decisions and lure you into their traps, ultimately aiming to replace or surpass you.
