A poem called “Alexithymia”

A poem about emotional numbness, letting go, and learning to grow through seasons of change.

Some things are meant to leave our lives, not always out of bitterness, but because growth sometimes demands distance.

This piece reflects the quiet conflict between feeling nothing and wanting to feel everything again.

Like seasons, we change. Like leaves, we fall. And somewhere beneath it all, the roots still hope to bloom again.

A Poem called "Reprieve".

There are moments in life that feel endless while you’re inside them.

You think they’ll stay. You think the people will stay.

Then one day, all that remains are memories, lessons, and the version of yourself that survived it all.

Not everything is meant to be held onto forever.

Some people are chapters.

Some emotions are temporary.

But growth stays.

Focus on growth.

A Poem called "Nebula".

Quiet reflection. That strange space between endings and beginnings.

We all come from somewhere. We drift, lose our way at times, but every path, somehow, leads us back to ourselves.

There’s a moment in life where you either dim your light, or choose to burn brighter than ever.

Not everything that fades is lost.

Sometimes, it’s just preparing to shine again, and brighter than before.

Third poem in the Lone wolf series called "Veil".

Some truths don’t arrive loudly. They settle in silence.

Not everything that feels real is real. Sometimes it’s just what we choose to see through veils.

This piece is about that quiet realization.

Stop chasing clarity from others, and start finding it within yourself.

The first 2 Lone Wolf poems on my page are "The Lone Wolf" and "The White Rose". Until the next one in the series!

A Poem called "Introspection".

Some things in life don’t come with warnings.

No explanation. Just silence where something once lived.

And in that silence, you meet a version of yourself you never planned to know: stronger, quieter, less dependent.

Not everything that leaves is a loss.

"Admonish"

What has come to pass has passed.

You can either keep looking back or look forward. It's your choice. Some things can be changed, and some can't, and that's life; but it doesn't define you and what lies ahead.

As the legend 2pac said: Keep ya head up.

Keep going.

A short called "Oscillate".

Our mood can change multiple times a day.

Our reason can go out the window in a flash of a second.

A skill we must develop and work on is our ability to see reason even in the most unreasonable of circumstances.

Then again, it is in the primal nature of humans to be irrational; although sometimes, it can even work in your favour.

Choose your rationale wisely.

A poem called "Contours".

Life isn't a straight line.

Nothing remains the same, and everything changes: Two sides of a coin, but one must know with certainty that adventure is always just around the corner.

You just have to feel it and know it.

Write that book. Talk to that friend. Whatever it may be, rivers always reach the sea.

"Doldrums"

Write whatever it is. The thought, feeling, emotion. Let it be put out there. Free yourself of those mental chains.

Do it for yourself.

Those who understand, will.

A poem called "Within".

So many things buried down inside every person on this Earth.

Try to see things from perspective rather than the surface wherever you can.

Nowhere will ever be like where you grew up.

Home truly is where the heart land is.

A poem called "Lost".

At what point on the journey did you start to realise you were losing yourself again?

No matter how far you've gone, turn back. Find yourself again. You are no one else but you.

Turn back. Be you.
