Louder Than Before

How often are we labelled as victims by those who never truly understand our struggles? This poem is a response to the ones who dismiss our pain, wear false masks of care, and think they can break us. It's a declaration of resilience, showing that every wound only strengthens our voice.


You call me a victim, wear pity like a cloak,
As if my scars are a story you wrote.
Yes, I’ve been wounded, but I’m not weak—
Each cut, each tear, made my voice speak.

You claim to be a "good guy," parading your lies,
But I see through the hollow in your eyes.
You play with innocence, mock my pain,
Buying toys, taunting, thinking it's a game.

"Why haven’t you seen the world of lust?"
I navigate shadows; you feed on mistrust.
You measure love by the bodies you break,
While I rebuild from the ruins you make.

You say I don’t know love? Maybe you’re right—
I’ve fought to survive, clawing through the night.
But you, draped in deception, claim to care,
Then chase fleeting warmth in another’s stare.

You try to shame me, drag me to the floor,
But each word, each wound, makes my voice roar.
You won't break me; you make me more—
Stronger, louder, than ever before.



So, who’s really the victim here? The one who faces the scars with strength or the one who hides behind lies and fleeting pleasures? Every wound you inflict only makes me roar louder, stronger, and more defiant than ever before.

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, ...
