Facing the World
*This poem was written when I was a child and due to the heavy nature of it, I feel needs further explanation. While it can easily sound like a contemplation of death, it was not. Rather, it was how I felt looking out at the world as I got closer to 18 and moving out. I was at a pivotal point in life where I would have to decide to leave home and the abusive household I had grown up in. It was scary and difficult because I did not know if I would succeed or not, yet it was a path I knew I must pursue.*

The Other World
When the cold returns, so do my nightmares: vivid, sharp, crisp and painful dreams of horrid things. My nights become trapped in another world, living through movies that only exist in my head, braving stories my subconscious wrote. And, it drives me here to leave them on this page, despite knowing there is no solace in writing them out. It only serves to express what the various part of my brain is waking to scream across the folds of my mind.

Silence Grows
I have not spoken to my father since 2016, at least, not in the conversive sense. Words have passed between us in one sided conversations or quick reiterations that he will have nothing to do with me. Till 2018 I sent many emails and paintings to him, updates on my life, just as I had before I was banished. Of course, as my denial ended so did the emails.
