I am Jhelay

Time was my nemesis, rushing me into situations I wasn't prepared to face. Time caused me pain, letting Change walk in unpredictably, rearranging everything and forcing me to slowly accept reality. And yet, with each step, I learned to find my footing in the uncertainty.

Love stands at a distance, always watching but never thinking to step in. It speaks in riddles, leaving me more confused. Relationship walks beside me, encouraging me to open space in my life for others to love me—even when I’m not ready for Love itself. Love is still a mystery, but I’m allowed to be cared for while I figure it out.

Hope pulled me away from the darkness, holding me tightly as he led me through the unknown. He lit the way with a warm glow, and dancing Positivity joined in, spreading joyful energy everywhere. I felt a surge of hope and knew I couldn't give up–they were guiding me toward a brighter path.

Ancient tree stands tall

Falling on our rosy cheeks

Dancing on the night

In the rain, my promise swept.

Tears fell fast as I did pray.

Drop the anchor deep

Not knowing the route ahead

Away from safe shore

Silence fills the empty night.

Still, I keep the past, my chain.

Chasing What Was

Never There

I gave love she threw away,

Still I begged for her to stay.

Now I run from memories,

Longing love I yet to see.

Reflection:

This Tanaga captures the pain of giving everything, only to be left with confusion and a longing for something real, something still unknown. Sometimes, it is not the person we miss, it is the idea of being truly loved.

Loneliness, always lurking in the shadows, gently reminded me of what I was missing out on. Isolation approached, helping me build walls to cage myself and keep others out. In this cycle, empty spaces became visible, and I struggled to escape alone within the cage, trapping me inside.

Autumn gently hush,

Cold breeze gently whisper more,

Tear fall rushing through.

-Haiku poem by mica

"The echoes of emptiness"

Sitting on the corner of an empty room, where no one wants to join. Whispering words in the air that nobody can hear. In the darkness, she found a shattered mirror that reflects on her empty self. Listening to the echo of her crying soul.

Hope Ignites

Hope is an anchor, holding steady in storms. Positivity is a spark, igniting motivation. Setbacks are detours, redirecting us toward new opportunities. There are storms that test our resolve, pushing us to find shelter in our inner selves, but there is hope, providing refuge and comfort. Hope is a melody, harmonizing our hearts and minds and inspiring us to move forward. It's a lifeline, pulling us through turbulent times, and a gentle breeze, soothing our souls.

Summer sun, so warm and bright

Golden days, in joyful light

Winter's snow, so calm and deep

Nature's cycle, secrets keep

Shadows Within

Loneliness creeps in like a thief in the night, while isolation wraps around me like a shroud. I'm a traveler navigating through darkness, seeking the light. Loneliness is a constant shadow that follows, darkening spaces. I'm in a hollow room, devoid of warmth, where a cold wind cuts through. I'm a puzzle piece searching for its place. Yet, I'm a master builder constructing a stronger foundation, fixing every scattered piece of the puzzle that's hard to assemble.
