Healing is not a moment—it is a quiet returning. Not the sudden closing of wounds,but the slow knitting of breathto body,of memoryto meaning. Some days it feels like breaking again—like the past has teeth,and it remembers your name.But even then,there is a small, stubborn lightthat refuses to go out. Healing is learningthat your story … Continue reading Pem: Healing the Trauma

There’s a kind of sight that isn’t learnedfrom brightness or from perfect days,but from looking long enoughat ordinary, tangled ways.

It sees the tired trying harder,the guarded heart still choosing stay,the imperfect hands still reachingeven when they … Continue reading Poem: People

Lost in the sea of forget, I drift,A name unspoken on a sinking ship,Where memories dissolve like salt in the blue,And even the past forgets it knew you. The tide hums low with a hollow sound,A lullaby where no truth is found,Each wave erases what I once held tight,Turning days to blur, and dark to … Continue reading Poem: Lost in the Sea of Forget

Chronic pain is a … Continue reading Poem: Living Through the Pain

Your will is stronger than you think—it wakes before courage does,ties its shoes in the dark,and walks anyway. It bends, yes, but it does not break.It learns the language of storms,how to lean into the windwithout forgetting the sky. When doubt crowds the room,your will becomes a quiet chair,waiting, steady,holding the weight of you. It … Continue reading Poem: Your Will
