sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
Breaking Curses of Dark Entities. Content Warning.
This flame is mine to ignite, not theirs to erase. Every curse becomes fuel, every attempt at destruction becomes witness. I stand sovereign truth over lies, care over cruelty, cadence over silence. This archive is not theirs to burn; it is mine to keep alive.

False Winter. Content Warning.
deep-winter silence covers the real storm in me and I blame the snow All winter I let the season answer for me. Too dark, too far, roads a mess, easier than saying I couldn’t get myself off the couch. Friends believed the snowstorms; I almost did, too. Now the banks are shrinking and the excuses with them. I’m still slow, still carrying that heavy, invisible coat, but when I drag one bag of garbage to the curb and come back in, there’s melt on the mat and a thin strip of light under the door that wasn’t there before.
