The Mask Fits Too Well
I'm only thirteen—
they say that's too young
to know what breaking feels like.
So I smile.
I laugh at the right jokes,
say "I'm fine" before they ask,
and fold my storms
into pockets no one checks.
Some nights
my memories knock like thunder
on a house already shaking.
The past still remembers my name
even when I try to forget it.
They call me strong.
But strength isn't never crying.
It's carrying invisible mountains
to school every morning,
finishing homework
with hands that still tremble,
and choosing tomorrow
even when today feels heavy.
I wear happiness
like a borrowed sweater—
warm enough for everyone else,
never quite my size.
If you looked closely,
you'd see the cracks
filled with quiet courage,
the kind that grows
where flowers shouldn't.
Maybe healing
doesn't arrive all at once.
Maybe it starts
with one deep breath,
one sunrise,
one tiny spark whispering,
"You are still here."
And maybe that's enough.
Because I am thirteen.
Still learning.
Still hurting.
Still hiding.
But somehow,
still standing.

the pockets no one checks line stuck with me. are those pockets for specific people to not find, or is it more like you fold it all away and hope nobody asks?

when you say wearing happiness like a borrowed sweater, does that mean you *know* it doesn't fit? like you're aware the whole time you're doing it?

Life of a Rain Drop
A tiny raindrop, with a plain little mind, falling from the sky, wavering in the wind, as millions of others alike, wonders where the land would be. Swirling in the breeze, with a sweet, sweet dream, it dashes into a seemingly wonderful stream — past forests, humming in chorus, then splashes and thrashes into the vast sea. Lost now, it stares at dolphins and whales in awe, chasing swarms of swordfish in a dazzle, gliding through glitters in the warm rays of sun, until it lifts and dances on th

The Wonders by the Open Sea
On the high cliff, an old rock house, its windows open to the sea — and on the shaky bridge, a young man, eyes clear as the ones upon the cross. His smile brought a thousand lights; his eyes struck the deepest insight. Years passed, yet in the sleepless nights that smile stayed, unbidden. When those eyes pierced inside mine, only a small sigh was left — the one thing a heart could feel. Nothing has changed by the open sea, only my heart twitches for those clear eyes, wishing someday they glance

Blue velvet.
He wore velvet, blue like the Pacific Ocean. Dark blue like the Mediterranean Sea. I watched him from afar. My heart burned for him, but when he left, the ocean entered a deep storm. He wore velvet, blue like the Pacific Ocean. I could still tell: there are tears streaming down his face. Blue velvet, like the Pacific Ocean, and an overwhelming emotional instability. I could still tell: there are tears streaming down that velvet. Blue velvet. Judson Kaique 27-07-2026
