TO DREAM AND YET DISSAPOINT ONESELF

 


She spoke with nothing but kindness
She faced every stroke 
Kindly like caressing the stars
With every word spoken
There was a sense of immense
Knowledge deep and yet so simple
Yet so comprehensible 
Yet so relatable.
 
She spoke of life
The endless misery befalling 
Drowning, 
The people of my people
Engulfed in flames
Their dreams and hopes
And reality.

"I see a world in a grain of sand"
with these eyes of a young man
The world is slowly slipping like sand
In an hourglass 
Emptied now, I seek new beginnings.

DEATH.
LIFE.

Life is in shambles 
My life is shambles
Crumbling down
like a slowly dying 
Star
Yet exhilarated 
for I will explode
And that in itself
is new LIFE.

a raisin in the sun

 I knew Shirley. She was young, beautiful and sweet And kind, you know, the kind of beauty  One travels roads and seas just to scribe, I knew her from the memories she painted With a stroke of a paint brush, she broke my heart  when the rain turned her smile into a sad frown that longs ever more for love... and a friend. --- I have been abandoned as a child Though i lived with my mother, She never strayed her love away,  Never from the things that weren't me I wasn't abused i was lonely. I wasn't deprived of food or her company, i was without friends and without a doll Like young girls my age, like Sarah and her barbies i was left to grow faster than i was meant, pushed away to a point the only one i did not wish for was me As a grown woman, i sought love. i was 15. --- The only love I've ever felt Was when Eddy Maake spoke to me He was what he called himself. a poet. With a tongue wrapped up in poetry His hands were possessed as he gestured paving the heavens He wou...

Sit down and quietly listen

 Raynolds, listen i know you're hurting you smile and laugh but like old rocks you crumble as you giggle Raynolds i love you but you have to love yourself too you speak so lightly of misery you disregarded yourself so much that you dont even notice the depression Raynolds this is enough  You cry when you're alone  how empty and tough To threaten yourself with suicide poetry do you think it alright to want to die for acceptance dream only of you be selfish and care only for you can you tell how much suffering is there you cant you cant and it isnt fair you will die... Alone. and no one your kin  will send you away with songs -: But its okay its alright i don't mind a lonely death I dont mind a miserable end i will smile as i go as fake as it will be this hurt i will never show.

My Anchor is gone, well I hope the noise doesn't come back, smh...

 My therapist had, complications You know... Her husband had an affair She didn't take it so well... She spared herself the humiliation And took that impossible decision I think that was brave not stupid She loved him so much, enough to bleed herself Enough to cut to the deepest parts of love And uproot the very core, her soul As bright and divine the thing he couldn't handle But then again I think she had no one else... She was my anchor, I think she didn't have an anchor  You know, that person that pulls you back  When you sink too deep into the darkness  ... I've lost mine I bet you're wondering what's gonna happen to me Yea me too, Yea me too...  She spent her entire life figuring different methods on how to make Other people feel good about themselves... To make me Feel good about myself And I did... Honestly I truly did... She forgot to make room for herself, or she never had time... Maybe that's why he did what he did Humans are too impatient of cours...
