They hate you
H. M. Arafat
Stop it
They can’t stop laughing at you
Please
They want to hurt you
Leave me alone
They are lying to you
No.
They are using you
It’s not true
They want to humiliate you
It can’t be
They want to exclude you
You’re wrong
If I’m wrong, then why do I feel right?

RAWGUE.’s 4th issue delved into the grey, moody, and cold atmosphere of winter. Yet it did not sink into the depths of madness or depression. Instead, it embraced this season of hibernation, allowing 31 artists from all over the world to present their timid work beneath a veil of quiet beauty.
H.M. Arafat is a writer and artist whose work explores identity, belonging, and emotional experience through poetry and storytelling. Using reflective language and symbolic imagery, they create work centered on themes of loneliness, healing, vulnerability, and connection. Their practice focuses on turning internal experiences into something honest, relatable, and emotionally resonant.
