  • 2019.

    You have memorised his number plate, Where he parks his car. Just in case, The deep gut-wrenching despair, ever matures into anger. An emotion you have not allowed myself to feel, For fear of it swallowing you whole. Sometimes, You forget a version of you existed, before this, Before his hands. But, was there? Was…

  • 13th Sept, London

    After today, my lips will be set in a permanent scowl. I will no longer be meek, or compliant. Because, They aren’t. They spew their vitriol with the confidence of a God. State sanctioned hatred. Misplaced, forcibly redirected rage. Whilst, we, like a lamb about to be slaughtered, to the very same corrupt God, Are…

  • atlas II : the one they forgot about

    Is congratulations what you say? When, after, what feels like an eternity. I resent the standards, I was held to. Both spoken, and in whispered conversations, overheard unintentionally. A knife in my chest, which I try to cut out by cutting deeper into my organs, but I can’t find the source of the bleeding, my…

  • Cultural Significance of Greek Vases in Antiquity (aka. why I love them, and have a poster on my wall)

Ancient Greek vases represent one of the most fascinating windows into classical antiquity, evolving dramatically over nearly a millennium while reflecting profound changes in Greek society, religion, and artistic…

  • A longer poem, no rhyme or reason just writing to think things through

    Ode on an Urn, on which someone who’s not got any talent at all (if you’re being honest) has painted a planet and a wonky arrow, it points to nothing. The label: ‘On living on Earth, 2025’ It’s their most prized artefact, for some reason. For most of my life the belief: that you had…

  • POEM – internal monologue

    I can rationalise, Empathise, and process, with the best of them. Faster, than I thought I could. I type until I can sleep, still there’s neurons firing, adrenaline pumping, with nowhere to run to. As if, someone, (owner? father? husband? master?) Left me, bleeding and broken. without a charge. Or a spark. For years, a…

  • THoughts – no hope generation, a response to music and the current political climate in sept 2025, as as 25 year old

    Generation Disconnected: Reflections on Isolation, Politics, and the Modern Age We live in a time where connection is everywhere and nowhere at once. Social media promises community, yet it often delivers comparison, anxiety, and the sharp sting of isolation. For Generation Z, the curated feeds of friends, influencers, and strangers alike create a paradox: we…
