I don't know.
I linger proficiently such as dandelion 's seeds worship the skies
and move through its airspace until it falls back into the soil.
Though the soil nourishes as a mother she,
the dandelion,
still misses the sky it once roamed
so it will send out its children far up high
and watch the cycle repeat again and again.
I've lived a thousand lives with people i cherished
but only left a part of me to few
so somedays when the weather gets colder
and sky get blue i think about the parts of me and i think about you
as to me humans,
animals,
things and Ai
do not differ as i humanise and empathise with everything and they all got a part of me.
Even you.
So as a dandelion i once again
Sprout my seeds to horizon
And flicker through environments again and again
Till i find home in every one of them
This poem is the one i was proud of for some time. It was written in a feeling on how every little piece of me is carried in every person i've met. They are so little and i can hardly notice but sometimes it shines through.

I bet most of us don't understand what poverty is.
But If you have ever seen
A child step on broken glass,
Wear rags to school,
Then you know what poverty is.

Schools slam doors on children
Whose only crime
Is not carrying silver coins.

Children go to bed with broken ribs,
While others discard feasts into bins.
Do you know how heartbreaking this is?
We shed pity,
But pity cannot fill a plate.

We need to make the world
A place for everyone.
Not all of us must dine on silver spoons —
But at least,no child
Should go to bed
With a noisy stomach.

And if we ever help,
Let it not be for cameras or approval.
For Kindness needs no attention.
This is for all the children who go to bed hungry; you deserve more from the world.
Why do you waste precious time on diamonds that don’t shine?
Which girl are you going to come back to that gives light when you cry
These lies man, it’s getting to you
You want acceptance when you can’t even preach
No microphone or rhythm on your street
Only electric on your avenue is the 2 minute satisfaction
You’re a waste of time man,
Calling yourself a man when you couldn’t give a ****
On the other hand, you could move to a new experience
Environments follow you forever, remember this
Regardless of your credit or situation
Can’t beat it, can’t save it? Deal with it
You could’ve had it all
The doors were open but you threw the lock away, the prize away, the ones away
Say, do you feel better about yourself now?
I hope you do,
Allow it on yourself
Not a finished project but I thought it’d be nice to post. Final result is coming soon, thanks for stopping by :)
Things on my mind,
Can’t seem to find the right words
To write a verse
So they’re delivered in fragments

“Just preying on the little lamb”,
You’re so pragmatic you can’t
Even give a ****.

So I just feel everything you can’t.

You lack any capacity for empathy,
And in return it makes me scream
Internally -
Only longing,
For you to feel something,
Anything.

But it’s what I wouldn’t wish on my own
Worst enemy.

In the end,
It’s a blessing.
And maybe,
I’d still take feeling it all
Over nothing.
Haven’t posted anything in years. Hope you enjoy my ode to empathy

Only through the suffering of others,
can we truly understand ourselves.
2025-08-29 - We understand others because we, too, also suffer.

I empathize with those who suffer.
I really do.
I suffer too, as do you.
2025-08-29 - I feel you, bro.

Not all who have suffered
pass on their pain,
some embrace kindness,
so others won't feel the same.
They build safe spaces
where healing begins,
and turn their own pain
into nurturing within.

The cycles of hurt
they choose to defeat,
creating resilience,
and cathartic retreats.
Broken souls learn
compassionate truths,
that healing oneself
can be powerful too.

Riding the subway
I realize there are so many people
so many people, really
I wonder if all of them
are okay
Sitting alone at home
In the eerie glow of our
Phone or watching the
World through our TV.
We may or may not care
Because we know we're
not there, but what will
We do when we will be!

But the answer can't
Always be "I'll face it
Only when it eclipses me"
Because we must be
Wide awake and stay
Awake in our research
And engagement with
Others at stake to
Understand the various
Levels of hate so we
Can be effective when
Faced with it head-on!
