Solitude.


Lately, solitude feels like the only room 

where my chest can finally breathe.

I don't crave company.

I crave the soft sound 

of my own thoughts settling 

after too many days of noise.


It's strange

how even love can feel heavy 

when the world inside my ribs 

is collapsing quietly.


I don't avoid people.

I just disappear into myself 

because it's the only place 

that doesn't pull at my seams.


Aloneness is not my wound.

It's the bandage

I keep pressing over it.

Open System.

  I used to believe that things end because someone leaves,  or because time decides it has had enough, as if time were a judge,  as if departure were proof. as if endings were anything but a human convenience. But nothing truly ends. It only decoheres. States drift. Probabilities thin. What once interfered learns how to exist without touching. Every version of me that almost chose otherwise  still hums quietly in the background noise of days. Not alive. Not gone.  Just unresolved, like equations left unsolved,  not because they are wrong, but because no one needed their answer yet. I learned too late that observation is not innocent. To look is to interfere. And I kept looking. To remember is to collapse a thousand possible selves  into one narrative I can still carry. Memory is a measurement. Identity is a result I wake up inside. Meaning appears only after the wave has broken. Some systems never close. They leak traces, patterns, unfin...

Numbness.

There are days my skin refuses everyone. Not out of cruelty. Out of the ancient instinct to survive myself. A hand reaches for me,  and something inside goes dark. Lights out. Curtains drawn. A quiet locking of every internal door. Not fear. Not anger.  Just a small, exhausted  no. At night, even the idea of touch feels like trespass. I freeze. I turn to stone. I slip out of my body and watch myself pretend. Nodding. Smiling. Moving. A ghost inside skin that hasn't felt like home in years. You ask what I feel. I feel the strain of holding myself together. I feel the echo of every moment  my body wasn't mine. I feel the fingerprints of touches I never agreed to,  still haunting the edges of my breath. And lately, more often than not, I cannot be touched without disappearing. It isn't about him. Or him. Or now. There is a temple under my ribs  where no one enters anymore. The altar is cold. Touch hits me  like lightning on marble. Loud. Blinding. Wrong. ...

Bipolar Memory.

  I forget things that should have stayed. Names. Words I once held like glass. Entire versions of myself I can’t quite reach anymore. Sometimes I read my own poems like they were written by someone I used to love or hate. And maybe they were. But memory isn’t gone. It waits. Locked. A smell. A song. A feeling sharp enough to split the surface. And suddenly everything comes back too much too loud too alive. So which one is mercy? To forget and walk lighter through a life you barely recognize or to remember and carry it all like a body that never learned how to rest? I have lived both. The highs that burn like I am more than human untouchable, unstoppable, a mind racing ahead of time. The lows gravity remembering me all at once. Dragging me down into something small. Something tired. Something afraid to exist. They say memory is power. But what kind of power comes with no control? What good is remembering if I can’t stop what comes next? So I wonder is forgetting a wound  or a ...
