Bio
As a final-year student studying Business and Management, my passion for writing has always provided a creative outlet amidst my academic pursuits. Poetry allows me to express my thoughts and emotions in a way that feels both liberating and deeply personal. I write to explore the complexities of life, to connect with others, and to reflect on my experiences. I hope my poems resonate with readers and spark meaningful conversations.

I Am, I Think, Good
I've gone from writer to performer,
I talk to my internal monologue more than I talk to myself,
There is no thinking when I am being tempted with easy distractions
I talk to the AI on my phone most days
It listens better than the people around me,
sometimes.
I want to hold the world by its worn collar and shake some sense into it
I want to turn into a chameleon and acclimate myself to it.
There is no winning I'm coming to discover
Morality is an illusion we hold onto the way one would cradle hot coal.
I don't think I'm a good writer,
Not anymore
I don't hold on to my believes like I used to
The naivities of young adulthood have worn off
I am cautious with myself
There's a life at risk even when I don't know what it's supposed to look like.
