Through all your anxiety and suffering, everything you fought on your own, those long sleepless nights: I want you to know it was in you I built my home. It was in your arms I found my peace, even though … Continue reading Light
I thought he’d forever remain: like the black ink on a ripped up newspaper, the earthy smell of old books or a stamped postcard found under all the letters, the smell of coffee, so strong and raw at least that’s … Continue reading RAW
She loved life. She lived for all the simple things: watching the sunset, long walks, making daisy chains, getting lost in a book, genuine conversations- the little things made her smile. Even something as common as watching the heavy rain … Continue reading Rainbow
My therapist asks: “how would you describe your mood today?” Where do I go? To start all over, to forget everything. I don’t want these black clouds lingering over me anymore. This rain isn’t beautiful anymore. I’m sick to death … Continue reading Burnt out
It is the dark starless nights; the silence they bring, the flickering of lights. An open sky, a stillness, but a blur– All of it; revealing the reflection of her… @AsfaWrites 🖤 Continue reading Her
Sometimes I sit and wonder, for hours on end- losing all sense of time. As though I’m a bird trapped in a cage, with no escape. It doesn’t happen frequently but when it does, it takes over my whole being. … Continue reading Old & Grey ♡

From a very young age, she had already gathered the concepts of love – meanings that even adults couldn’t comprehend. Setting birds free from their cages. The moon hiding so the sun has it’s time to sparkle, an ocean so … Continue reading Simple
Did he tell you he loves you? Did he kiss your forehead before heading off to work? Did he look into your eyes before hugging you goodnight? Or did he hit you again? Those scars etched so deeply into your … Continue reading WORTH

“In my eyes, I don’t think I was ever that bad to you…” That’s the problem. We are so quick to defend ourselves that we become blind to the other persons perspective. We jump to judgements failing to realise that … Continue reading “I”
Viciously wiping away at her tears, calming her thoughts – that’s how she spends her nights. Trying to forget every battle she’s ever fought. Their tongue, the sharpest blade; once spat, forever remained. Etched so deeply into her delicate skin, … Continue reading Effortlessly🎭

It was hard for me to make her understand, every word I spoke – all went over her head. I felt hopeless. It wasn’t her fault. She was just trying to put her pieces together. You could see it in … Continue reading Hopeful

Whilst everyone else was sleeping, she would sit on the floor; alone in the dark, blinds fully open – with the starry sky staring right at her. There was something so magical about how all the stars would come together … Continue reading Light
I’m sorry. I wasn’t there to water you, to watch you grow. To hold you up, when you needed me the most. I couldn’t stop this world, of its horrible ways… I couldn’t stop it, from breaking you; a rose … Continue reading Broken flower🥀
*Trigger warning* She shouts, she screams. She cuts, she bleeds but nobody hears and nobody sees. “I’m OK. Just a little under the weather” she said. -Sweet girl, will always be remembered- her obituary read… @AsfaWrites 🖤 Note: always be … Continue reading Sweet girl

This thing, we call life. It’s always making us run. We’re always trying to get to somewhere; trying to get to that place where we want to be. Many of us don’t even know what that place is… What are … Continue reading This Thing…
The cure to many things, a smile. I travel a lot. From home to university, it takes me an hour and 30mins. I catch two buses and then there’s a 15min walk. Coming and going, all together that’s about 3hours … Continue reading Smile 😊
