Beautiful and unique
But also, quite terrifying
Alone in a bed of colorful flowers
Always left unwanted.
Beautiful black rose
Alone and thorny
Different and feared
None appreciates its beauty.
Many wanted to pick it
But no one dared to reach it
The only one left among its peers
A new generation now surrounds it.
I’ve watched it for quite some time
It is as lonely as me
I picked it up and carried it back home
Decided it to plant it in a pot
I will take care of this rose
So, we’ll no longer be alone
I will appreciate your uniqueness
Because we are as lonely as each other.

    Dave White’s Ghost Ship and Kiana Jimenez’s Night Ritual converge in a chilling meditation on death, solitude, and the unknown.

    Resilience Amid the Storm

    “Raging Sea” explores the turmoil of emotional storms and the fragile strength we cling to as we drift between despair and hope. This reflection on resilience, healing, and inner survival invites readers into the quiet battle beneath the waves—a journey of surrender, endurance, and rediscovering the will to rise again.

    Faith Beyond Ethics

    Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling reframes Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac as the paradox of faith: ethically indefensible, yet religiously transcendent. This story speaks not only to philosophy but to the human heart. At Poetic Bipolar Mind, it echoes our search for meaning where anguish meets belief.
