The Journal's Whisper

There was a time when I was deeply sceptical of sharing my voice—my words, ideas, and most vulnerable thoughts. The fear of being judged, misunderstood, or rejected loomed over me like a shadow. But writing, especially journaling, has always been my safe space, a refuge where I could pour out my raw emotions and untangle the clutter of my mind. In the quiet of my pages, I could breathe freely, without fear of judgment or interruption.

Journaling became a way to create and reflect—an intimate practice that allowed me to unravel the layers of limiting beliefs and negative patterns I didn’t even know I carried. It was through this act of letting my soul bleed into the paper that I began to see the truth of who I was, the places I was holding myself back, and the strength I had all along. No wonder they say the pen is mightier than the sword; words, after all, can move mountains.

I’ve always been in awe of artists and painters whose emotions leap off the canvas, and whose work speaks in ways words cannot. Through my poems, I hope to achieve the same—to create something that resonates deeply with others. My deepest hope is that someone, somewhere, finds strength in my words, as they navigate their own struggles and emotions.


Between the lines of paper whispers,
Secrets unfold in quiet streams,
The ink unravels tangled thoughts,
Spelling out forgotten dreams.

Pages hold the weight of worries,
Silent witnesses to each tear.
Pouring truth in silent letters,
Unspoken fears become clear.

In scribbled words, the heart uncovers
Paths long lost within the haze;
Reflections born in mirrored verses,
Guide the soul through the twisted maze.

Each thought, a key to locked emotions,
Unlocks the voice that hides inside.
Release, release, the pen commands,
No need to fight or run or hide.

To journal is to map the self,
To spill, to bleed, to name the pain.
Through every line, a step to healing,
Through written storms, the heart regains.

Dreams and shadows find their patterns,
Fears laid bare, beliefs made plain.
In empty spaces, truth emerges—
The mind, the heart, at last, reclaimed.



Journaling offers a unique way to process emotions and thoughts that might otherwise remain buried. How does writing or journaling help you in uncovering and understanding your own emotions? Do you find that putting your feelings on paper helps to untangle your thoughts and bring clarity, or is there another method that helps you release what’s inside?

The Spotted Cucumber

  One fine day, tired of "always my way," I reached for comfort, or maybe just a craving. Picked up a spotted cucumber— Seemed harmless enough, so why not? But the moment I touched it, it pricked. Unwanted timber in my hands, Yet I let it be—what else could I do? Hunger led me to peel its layers, Only to find the filth it hid underneath. Worms writhing where freshness should be, Rot, disguised as something nourishing. I thought it was doing me a favor, But all it did was make me sick. Never knew comfort could leave such a taste— Bitter enough to spill my guts out. Next time, I’d rather reach for something rich, Something warm, indulgent, and worth my time. A smooth, chocolaty éclair— Rather than ever go for such a comfortable, unhealthy affair.

Us Two

  As the hands struck two… Can you feel my hands on you? The power of the universe with just us two I am so into you. Who’s counting the minutes? Only we know what we brew. Even if the world fades to dark, We shine brighter in our spark. Your lips brush my nape, Undoing the shyness of my drapes. As your fingertips trace me, I melt like that slice of brie.

Temptress

  I wanna be your temptress, Get you down on my mattress. You be the king, I'll be your empress. I already have a clear purpose, You can trace every curve and surface. I've got one mission for you— Are you built for the secret service? Let me take a bite of that apple, Can you make me pray without taking me to the chapel? They call me a wolf, but I will bear your saddle, Make me howl like the moon's lone disciple. Either play this like a boring game of Scrabble, Or get your armor on and be ready for a passionate battle.
