Words That Feel Like Home

Virali Makhijani is a poet and writer who finds her voice in the emotions that are often difficult to say aloud, love, loss, grief, heartbreak, illness, anxiety, healing, and hope. Her poetry is deeply rooted in personal experiences, memories, and the quiet moments that leave a lasting impact. She prefers simple, honest language over complicated words, believing that poetry does not have to be elaborate to be meaningful. Through her writing, Virali explores the ways people carry pain, preserve memories, find strength in vulnerability, and slowly learn to begin again. Her upcoming poetry collection, I Am Still, reflects this journey through pain, love, loss, healing, and growth. For her, poetry is not about having all the answers, but about giving feelings a place to exist, and reminding herself that even after everything changes, she is still here.
