Momma's Good Boy, You Say?

Some people weave their lies with smooth words, hoping to shape you into something you’re not. They prey on your vulnerability, believing you’re an easy target. But what happens when the truth rises, and the lies fade away?


Good boy.
The words slip off your tongue
Like oil on water,
Masking the truth
That clings to your fingers—
Dirty, grasping, cold.

You called yourself my friend,
Whispered your way into my cracks,
Where monsters used to live,
And built a new kind of hell.

A woman, you thought,
Too fragile, too broken,
A low flame; easy to snuff.
But you forget:
A smouldering ember burns hotter than fire.

You sought to carve me into shame,
Your hands measuring my worth
Against the curve of your lust.
But this skin—my skin—
Is not yours to claim.

Do you see me now?
I’ve stepped out of the shadows you cast,
Standing taller than the lies you tell yourself.
Your "Momma’s good boy" act
Won’t save you from the truth:
You are no man.

And I—
I am no one’s prey,
No one’s guilt to carry.
My worth is a fortress
You will never breach.

So crawl back
To your hollowed-out pride,
And don’t look for me
In the cracks.

I’ve sealed them all.


No longer a victim to their games, you rise from the darkness they tried to keep you in. The cracks they thought they'd exploit are now sealed, and the fortress of your worth stands strong—untouchable, unbreakable.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Stay Away

Stay away, stay away Keep those hands away Stay away, stay away I am not on display Stay away, stay away I just want my name on the hard black clay Stay away, stay away I am a kid who just wants to play Stay away, stay away All these memories are like a never-ending screenplay ~ Kanika Kaushal ✨ The Luminous Muse

Model Men and Their Modern Myths

  Here come the men who love their pride, With “culture” on speed dial, their mothers beside them. They want a wife who’ll light the lamp, While they scroll through pages of virtual vamp. They call themselves leaders, oh so wise, But sex ed is a topic they just despise. If you ask them about anatomy's flow, They’ll stammer, then boast about paychecks to show. Progressive now, they’ll have you believe, Because daughters study, and daughters leave The home to work—but don’t go too far, Or they’ll pull you right back by some invisible bar. They crave the respect, the honour, the fame, Yet when faced with real talk, they’re quick to shame. These "modern men" with their ancient views— One foot in the past, and the other confused. Oh, fools of entitlement, kings of the mud, With egos so fragile, they’re bound to flood At the slightest nudge of applied insight— They’ll laugh, then pull you out of their sight. So here’s to these men, these leaders so grand, With “values” in one, ...
