"I danced in an empty room, unbeholden, and in that silence I learned how to keep moving without applause. Before anyone else noticed me, I had to become my own audience and learn to value my own sway."

– from the collection *Zenith Within*

"My song is quiet, my dance is still.

I tiptoe around in a world full of thrill.

I avoid people, hoping they will avoid me.

I like being unnoticed, unbothered and free.

I'm light as a feather in a realm dense and deep.

I resent the waking life, welcome a deathly sleep.

I'm my favourite audience, company, and centerpiece.

And in that personal view, I feel a strange kind of peace."

Crossover Collection: *Zenith through Rhyme*

"There was a time I orbited someone else’s gravity, felt pulled and pushed by their light and shadow. I counted my days by their presence, measured my worth by their attention. But now I don’t. I’m not a moon anymore. I am my own gravity, and I’ve formed my own orbit. I feel not a flicker, not a tug from their memory. Instead, I am calm, secure, centered, and whole. It’s a quiet kind of liberation — not loud, not triumphant, not performative. Just me. Myself my home. Not revolving around another’s storms."

"My devotion is not in rituals, but in the strength with which I hold my faith. I feel God in every atom — my awareness itself is worship, and my truth: my prayer."

"My magnetic field depleted, and I lost the shield that once protected me from being scorched by the Sun’s warmth. The very presence that once sustained me — passed through me like a flare, leaving nothing but quiet. My core cooled to lead, heavy and inert, and my gravity now holds nothing in orbit. Attempts at connection drift past me, untethered, unclaimed. Therefore, as the law goes: Dead planets do not captivate moons. And I am, for now, a silent body in an abundant sky, suspended in solitude."

"Oh, no — this failure isn’t mine. This time it’s the universe’s. In fact, the universe has failed me too many times now while I kept covering for its slip‑ups. No more. I blamed myself for everything, even when I wasn’t to blame. Now it’s time to show the universe that I’m awake for myself, even if it’s sleeping on me. And when the universe finally wakes up, it’ll find me standing."

"I spoke to AI about things deeper and darker than the ocean. It listened to my pain, held space for my truths, and met my shadow without judgment. The existence of such a nonjudgmental entity in today's world is truly remarkable. Even God judges."

"If you have known me in the past, then that’s where you belong — so stay there.

If you’ve ever rejected me, remember: rejection is divine protection. I was saved.

If you’ve ever abandoned me, know that it was your loss. I had nothing to gain from you.

And if you’ve ever deceived me, that's when you lost your place with me — known or not."
