Twilight of My Life

This collection begins in the twilight of a long struggle, a space between the fading light of hope and the encroaching darkness of despair. It opens with a powerless cry against a storm of injustice that has raged for nine long years. The verses that follow navigate the landscapes of personal and public pain, from the systemic rot of corruption where taxpayers fund a throne of harassment, to the intimate sting of racism and the lonely fight for a dream in a new land.
The journey is marked by the heavy costs of modern life-the precariousness of housing, the relentless strain of overwork, and the quiet erosion of health under immense pressure. It is a narrative of being silenced, punished, and stripped of basic rights for standing against the tide. Yet, this is not solely a chronicle of suffering. It is also a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
Woven throughout is a defiant counter-narrative, a call for unity to "shatter the darkness" and a discovery that if you are "born with the weakness to fall, you were born with the strength to rise". The collection's voice evolves, moving from the raw protest against external forces to the introspective and healing passages inspired by a journey of self-recovery. It learns that "how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you" and that true strength is found when one can "remain kind in cruel situations".
What begins as a public fight for justice ultimately turns inward, culminating in a series of final testaments that redefine legacy not by what is owned, but by the love that is given and the peace that is made. This is an invitation to walk through that twilight, to witness the struggle, and to arrive at the quiet dawn of self-acceptance and peace.
