i didn’t believe it at first

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Sometimes you don’t realize you’re in the wrong place until it’s too late. This piece captures that unsettling moment of walking into a space that feels off, unwelcoming, and strangely fated when there were no warnings on the way in, but everything now feels like a quiet mistake you can’t undo.

did i walk in at the wrong time
weird
i guess that doesn’t go there
me in this place i set in
no one warned me on the way in
no signs or posted notes
i guess things does at times
turn for worse
dang
i didn’t believe it at first
but i am here now

A young boy shows deep concentration while learning to tie his own shoelaces at a playground.

can’t lie
i tend to trip a lot
i fell for you
my heart got broken
i woke up
too late to stop
i continue
missing you
more
and more
but still i feel alone
so instead of tripping over you
i learned to tie my shoes

never beyond average

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Being average isn’t always bad, but why is more important? We are all different and unique, but we sometimes feel we are more than everyone.

update and upgrade your lifestyle
dine with quality
screaming it’s my time
the further you grow
it’s hard to stop
lock things up
call the cops
if you think
you have reached the ceiling
you just in the wrong room
adjust your feelings
in the end
you are not great in everything
just average at most

finishing touch

Posted on by Jixi Fox

It’s always a good ending, even a happy ending, when you are the hero in your own story. In the poem, finishing touch, leaving that extra special sauce to your day makes them great. It’s hard to always be on point, but when the day fits your mood, omg, you are over the moon.

i loved you from so far
i beyond cared
a bit more obsessed
wanted it all
you every best
I left nothing to fate
i owned it all
i the feeling I delivered
should be amazing
over all

highlight reels (a poem about social media and mental health)

Posted on by Jixi Fox

This unfiltered piece pulls back the curtain on curated timelines and borrowed joy, calling out fake smiles, staged lifestyles, and the quiet chaos hiding off-camera. Through sharp, honest lines, it reminds you that life moves in seasons, that not everything “perfect” you see is real, and that your real work is loving yourself through the mess. Read on if you’ve ever felt behind, less than, or lied to by the feed; this poem was written to bring you back to you.

first of all
everybody ain’t happy
sadly
but life comes in seasons
gladly
all those posts you see
ain’t true
these people lying to you
fake bags, fake smiles
so traffic can drive
but hell is hotter on the inside
than out
beauty is not always surface level
as we are drawn to
the inside and when others ain’t looking
so if you heated and cooking
watching people post their lives
they got roaches
and i know this
don’t neglect loving you
time heals wounds
and shall heal you
work on you
and your reality
so pay attention to your feels
stop comparing highlight reels
you will be much happier than most

handcrafted in imperfection 3 (a free verse poem of perfection and despair)

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Sometimes fear clings like fog to the hills of our hearts. Remember, too, that luck can vanish like morning mist. Yet in handcrafted in imperfection, we uncover veins of gold running through our trials. The screams and call-outs we once cast into the dark may linger on the air, but sooner or later, an avalanche of change must descend.

who said perfection was symmetry
clean lines
quiet emotions
a simple life edited before release
impossible margins
to coffee-stained mornings
we tend to live life in disbelief
are there clean sheets in the morning
new spreads to get ahead
life unfolds the clothes
we once folded
can we still operate
with a wrinkled shirt?

A woman sitting on a bed folding a stack of laundry in soft light.
A woman finds a moment of quiet reflection while folding laundry in her sunlit bedroom.

handcrafted in imperfection 2 (a free verse poem of open honesty)

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Sunlight has a way of telling the truth. It shows us that nothing grows without being seen, without stepping out of the shadows we’ve carefully constructed. This piece is a quiet meditation on how time, experience, and vulnerability carve their signatures into us, turning our cracks into pathways for light instead of evidence of failure.

sunlight reminds me
that nothing grows without exposure

time writes differently onto everyone
as experience edits without a guilty conscious
just an unpretty art with a honest texture

our cracks were never errors
they were entry points for light
to be guided

coded by moments
compiled by feeling

perfectly us
only because
we were never meant
to be

handcrafted in imperfection

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Life is sharp, and the cuts are deep. Handcraft in Imperfection is a poem about how life doesn’t need to be perfect to live it. We wait too long at times to express ourselves; we pose beside truths we don’t believe. We don’t need permission to change; we can just do it.

i lost you in the flow
you were moving too slow
i enhanced the glow
hoping you would be shining in
how long until perfect
leaving it longer in the oven to bake
i took the right amount of time
and effort
i love what i have created
