There's a difference between being looked at and being seen. One feels like a mirror. The other, like glass. To be looked at is to exist in someone's eyes. To be seen is to live in their understanding. One passes. The other lingers. #poem #poetry #vss365

You can outgrow the cage, not by breaking it, but by realizing the lock was never closed. #vss365 #poetry #poem

You don't grow by waiting for shelter. You grow by walking unarmed into the storm. #poetry #poem #vss365

Strength isn't forged in fire. It's forged in choosing to return after the ashes. #poetry #poem #vss365

You can become the person you once prayed would find you. #poetry #poem #vss365

Patience is the hardest work. It asks you to build without knowing when the doors will open. The secret is: they open because you never stopped. #poetry #poem #vss365

Even ruins speak. They tell you what was strong enough to survive the fire. What endures the flames becomes the foundation. #poetry #poem #resilience

Some chase crowns. I remind hearts they're already gold. The treasure has always been beating in your chest. #poetry #selfworth #poetrycommunity

The person you are now is the one you once needed most. #poetry #writing #vss365

Peace is not endless growth, but the wisdom of substraction.

The world teaches you to chase, but your soul was already whole before the race. #poetry #selflove #healing

One day you stop breaking yourself to keep others whole. That day, you finally meet your freedom. #poetry #selflove

Not every silence is empty. Some are thick with answers.

Proving is performance. Improving is becoming. One fades when the curtain falls, the other stays when you're alone.

Peace and time are the only currencies that never lose value. Anything that drains it is already too costly.

Your voice is the compass that keeps you from getting lost. Don't trade it for the noise of other maps. #poetry

Even shadows are proof of light. Even grief is proof of love. What breaks you open also teaches you depth.

Momentum is invisible. Each step feels forgettable. But turn around, and the horizon will tell you— the distance you feared now walks as your shadow.

Today's hindrance is often tomorrow's foundation. #poetry

Every cloud drifts without asking. Every horizon stretches without guilt. Why should you be any less free? #poetry
