I am more than a thinker, i am a Poet.

A poet expresses himself through words; he doesn’t harm others.
His heart arouses his mind, and with that, he could write for hours.
A poet feels lonely most of the time, and then his majesty arises.
He recreates the world, adds more color, and it’s full of surprises.

But there are times when a poet can’t resist his own mind.
His thoughts take over, and his worn-out eyes go blind.
Limitless sleepless nights, trying to escape harsh reality,
Fear, anger, and loneliness drain his vitality.

A poet is not led by his knowledge but by his rare soul,
And there are times of disagreement when he loses control.
It’s hard for us to understand what a poet wants to express,
Because he speaks from his heart, not obsessed with the mind's process.

Every poem has a story, and every story holds another to tell.
Believe it or not, you are a poet too; you have a soul as well.
Let your poetic self give you hope, and become curious.
Take off your mask, open up, and don’t be delirious.

A Mother’s Influence

A Mother’s Influence Clock’s ticking, birds fly - into the horizon - they are hugging the sky. To listen, to observe, to think, to preserve, to create a mythical stellar dream where he can summon radiant unicorns, and like the stars - to endlessly gleam. Time passes, a boy turns into a man, he loves his mother, and she loves her son. The dark spirits have spoken, he got his heart broken but they couldn’t harm him, his mother nourished his soul, she showed him the way, she became his lighting shield. They never expected to fight a man as strong as him, she taught him to be brave, for the day he would give his precious life, and the whole world he would redeem. Behind every strong, honest, and courageous man lies a strong and caring mother. She sacrifices a part of herself to see him flourish, to become strong, like his father. And when he claims his throne and finds his queen, she is still there to protect him, the mother of the king. Mike Tragas 2022/05/29 Chania, Gr...

A boy dies, a King is born

Born in the wilderness of a cruel and chaotic world, He was raised to be quiet and take it all in. A strong paladin with a soft heart, Enters the void and slays the demons. The boy dies; a King is born. Fear is forgotten, doubt has vanished. Malevolence, greed, and fear are gone— A strong man is a dangerous man. Dignity lies within him, yet he feeds it—if he must. Resilience solidifies his being; he is unbeatable. He follows his fortune if he must; he kills. He is a king, a poet, a lover—a beast. Mike Tragas 2021/04/30 Sweden, Stockholm

Depression

When you reach rock-bottom, when your soul cries, Life stops vibrating; everything vivid in pain dies. Filthy dark entities knock at your door, You refuse to open, but they break in, causing mayhem. They enter your lizard brain, with no mercy at all. Now you're a slave to them; down on your knees, you crawl. “You’re not good enough, you’re a failure, you’re nobody.” These voices change your perception. The downfall begins. You want nothing, no one, anything but to lie down and sleep. You beg not to wake up; one more day alive hurts deep. Stuck in your own tiny space, thoughts of death quickly arise. You want to escape from yourself, the self you despise. You are afraid of being alive, but not of death. No one cares about you—alone until your last breath. Life becomes meaningless, love dies, you feel sick. You can’t take it anymore, stuck in this loop till you die. Mike Tragas 2022/01/20 Sweden, Stockholm
