Poetries by Kinj
I never thought I’d share these pieces of me.
But then I remembered how often someone else’s words helped me feel seen.
So here I am… offering mine.
Not for applause, not for perfection!
But in case you’ve been searching for something soft, safe, and true.

God Only Knows
God only knows the weight you bear,
The silent cries, the whispered prayer.
The nights you break but tell no one,
The war inside that feels undone.
The silent cries, the whispered prayer.
The nights you break but tell no one,
The war inside that feels undone.
God only knows the words they say,
The wounds they leave, the hearts that stray.
Yet in the noise, He calls your name,
A love unshaken, still the same.
The wounds they leave, the hearts that stray.
Yet in the noise, He calls your name,
A love unshaken, still the same.
God only knows how deep it aches,
The scars you hide, the smile that breaks.
Yet in the dark, His mercy glows,
A light that heals, a love that grows.
The scars you hide, the smile that breaks.
Yet in the dark, His mercy glows,
A light that heals, a love that grows.
God only knows the real you,
The doubts, the fears, the fight you knew.
And in His arms, you're whole, you're free,
For love like His will never leave.
The doubts, the fears, the fight you knew.
And in His arms, you're whole, you're free,
For love like His will never leave.

Love in Disguise
Every no from God may sting today,
But it only means He’s making a way.
What feels like loss, what seems unfair,
Is His gentle hand, His loving care.
But it only means He’s making a way.
What feels like loss, what seems unfair,
Is His gentle hand, His loving care.
Every not now is not the end,
It’s just a turn, a road He’ll extend.
He sees ahead, He knows what’s best,
He won’t give less, He gives the best.
It’s just a turn, a road He’ll extend.
He sees ahead, He knows what’s best,
He won’t give less, He gives the best.
So when doors close and prayers seem late,
Trust His heart, not just the wait.
One day you'll see, with tear-filled eyes,
Every no was love in disguise.
Trust His heart, not just the wait.
One day you'll see, with tear-filled eyes,
Every no was love in disguise.

God Found Me
was alone, lost in the dark,
A shattered soul, a broken heart.
Love had left, hope was gone,
The nights were cold, the days felt wrong.
A shattered soul, a broken heart.
Love had left, hope was gone,
The nights were cold, the days felt wrong.
The weight too heavy, the end felt near,
A life once whole now drowned in fear.
With nothing left, I closed my eyes,
Ready to fade, to say goodbye.
A life once whole now drowned in fear.
With nothing left, I closed my eyes,
Ready to fade, to say goodbye.
But then, His voice broke through my pain,
God’s word spoke, He called my name.
His love had come to rescue me,
To break my chains and set me free.
He took my shame, He healed my pain,
He called me by my name again.
No longer lost, no longer weak,
In Him, I found the peace I seek.
Now I walk, no fear, no past,
Covered by His love that lasts.
God’s word spoke, He called my name.

No longer lost, no longer weak,

Now I walk, no fear, no past,

Between Fear and Faith
In the beginning, I stood unsure,
Caught between what if and I don’t know.
Fear would whisper, doubt would call,
Yet faith still flickered through it all.
Caught between what if and I don’t know.
Fear would whisper, doubt would call,
Yet faith still flickered through it all.
Some days strong, some days weak,
A war within, too loud to speak.
The enemy tried to pull me down,
But God's grip never let me drown.
A war within, too loud to speak.
The enemy tried to pull me down,
But God's grip never let me drown.
I stumbled, but I did not break,
For He was there with every ache.
The battle raged, yet grace remained,
His love unshaken, still unchanged.
For He was there with every ache.
The battle raged, yet grace remained,
His love unshaken, still unchanged.
So here I stand, though once afraid,
Held by the hands that never fade.
Fear may linger, doubt may rise,
But God is bigger—He never lies.
Held by the hands that never fade.
Fear may linger, doubt may rise,
But God is bigger—He never lies.

Soft Doesn’t Mean Weak
They smile big at little things,
And feel hurt from small stings.
They notice words you didn’t say,
And how you looked the other way.
And feel hurt from small stings.
They notice words you didn’t say,
And how you looked the other way.
They feel too much, they love too deep,
They carry secrets they still keep.
They think the world feels just like them,
But not every soul loves like them.
They carry secrets they still keep.
They think the world feels just like them,
But not every soul loves like them.
Still, they care without a pause,
No matter how much it hurts or costs.
In a world that's loud and tough,
Their soft hearts are strong enough.
No matter how much it hurts or costs.
In a world that's loud and tough,
Their soft hearts are strong enough.

Kabhi Kabhi Kho Jaati Hoon
Main kabhi kabhi kho jaati hoon,
Apni hi soch ke raaste pe.
Bheed ke beech bhi tanha si,
Khud ke saath, bas thodi der ke liye.
Apni hi soch ke raaste pe.
Bheed ke beech bhi tanha si,
Khud ke saath, bas thodi der ke liye.
Log zone out hote hain baaton mein,
Main ho jaati hoon zindagi mein.
Bhul jaati hoon call back karna,
Reply dena, kisika haal puchna.
Aur kabhi kabhi,
Khud ka haal bhi batana.
Narazgi nahi, na koi wajah gehri,
Bas kabhi kabhi… main hi kho jaati hoon thodi.
Main ho jaati hoon zindagi mein.
Bhul jaati hoon call back karna,
Reply dena, kisika haal puchna.
Aur kabhi kabhi,
Khud ka haal bhi batana.
Narazgi nahi, na koi wajah gehri,
Bas kabhi kabhi… main hi kho jaati hoon thodi.

Sometimes, I Drift Away
Sometimes, I drift away,
Wandering down the roads of my own thoughts.
Lonely, even in the crowd,
But in silence, I feel God's presence.
Wandering down the roads of my own thoughts.
Lonely, even in the crowd,
But in silence, I feel God's presence.
People zone out in conversations,
But I zone out… in life.
I forget to call back,
To reply, to check on someone.
And sometimes,
Even to share how I’m really doing.
But I zone out… in life.
I forget to call back,
To reply, to check on someone.
And sometimes,
Even to share how I’m really doing.
It’s not anger, nor is there a deep reason
Just sometimes… I quietly disappear for a while.
Yet, even in my quiet retreat,
I know God is near.
For though I may drift from others,
I am never far from God.
And I know my strength comes from above.
Just sometimes… I quietly disappear for a while.
Yet, even in my quiet retreat,
I know God is near.
For though I may drift from others,
I am never far from God.
And I know my strength comes from above.

One side isn’t the whole
Why is it,
that when someone gets angry,
people say, "Now those are their true colours."
As if kindness is an act,
as if calmness is fake,
as if joy must be hiding something.
But anger is just an emotion, not a full identity.
It’s a moment, not a definition.
No one questions the smile,
But the anger is judged deeply.
No one doubts the silence,
But the outburst becomes the truth.
Anger doesn't erase love,
Or cancel compassion.
Or cancel compassion.
It's just a part of being human,
not the whole story…
not the whole story…

A Weird Soul - Volume 1
I’m a weird soul
sometimes I’m loud like a radio,
Talking fast, spilling words like I’m scared they’ll go.
Other times, I’m silent,
Quiet as a shadow in the room,
Like when I’m lost in thoughtor feeling some kind of gloom.

Other times, I’m silent,
Quiet as a shadow in the room,
Like when I’m lost in thoughtor feeling some kind of gloom.
I’ll suddenly start humming
an old song stuck in my mind,
A melody that sneaks in, soft and kind.
My face looks serious,
like I’m always deep in thought,
But it’s not arrogance!
Just how my resting face is caught.

But it’s not arrogance!
Just how my resting face is caught.
I forget to text back,
sometimes don’t answer calls,
Not because I don’t care,
but because I get lost in my walls.
I can’t force friendships or make feelings appear,
Sometimes I just disappear, needing space to clear.

I can’t force friendships or make feelings appear,
Sometimes I just disappear, needing space to clear.
Music is my best friend,
the one who knows me best,
Like a gentle rhythm that gives my heart some rest.
I admire those who feel deeply,
who see the world’s small light,
Who find beauty in the quiet,
in the shadows and in night.
My heart feels things I can’t always explain,
But in my poems, those feelings remain.
So here I am, messy, awkward, real…
A weird soul learning to love what she feels.

Praise Unshaken
In my highs, I lift Your name,
In my lows, I do the same.
In my lows, I do the same.
Through the joy, through the pain,
My hallelujah stays the same.
My hallelujah stays the same.
Before You Go…
I started writing these poems because there were stories inside me that needed a place to live—quiet stories of hope, struggle, grace, and healing.
And now, here you are, reading them. Somehow, that feels like a gift.

If anything here touched you, or if you just want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
Because sharing our stories makes this journey a little lighter.
