Ahka Rhash tells stories through raw, unfiltered, creative expression – she is not a master of the arts nor of poetry, but hopes to covey meaningful messages through self-reflection.

This blog features some of the stories which will be published in Ahka Rhash’s upcoming book.*

*Along with other journaling or blog posts from spontaneous ideas.

Instance – Shadow

I do live with your highness, your royal, the great, but I do have thoughts of my own. I’m quite tired of itching when things go poorly, but at times, I am calm at home. I don’t read books, I only watch movies, but that’s because I like to be…

Instance – Unalienable

I have just as much of a right To walk the streets at night And not fear the potential of death, Or random acts of violence Which come with being alive. And I have just as much of a rightTo speak up for my rights Fear not the risk of…
