my veil

"I love my veil"
"It show forth my beauty".
But behind those linens lies bunch of shame untold.
Tears flowing like river,
With sparking eyes filled with regrets.
The pain of yesterday,the plight of today.
All crawling in my vein.
The veil was an escape route  not just a covering.
To quiver the guilt of the past,
Lying in my path
The light was hidden,
Night spent on strangers thighs,
Like scavengers,
Waiting aimlessly for a soul to hold me tight...
Have got a demon friend, he's so possessive.
His the reason I wake up in different blankets...
I was a night hawker,
Drinking vigorously with the spirits.
Like gum I stick to my desire,
Burning away my skin.
We were cool until he destroyed me,
I tried to run but he held me tight.
The ocean splash, the hills splits.
All I crave for is freedom.
Freedom from shame,
From those things I hate,
I gave my soul,and now I want it back.
Night or day I wandered like a fugitive
For now I still wear a veil of shame..

LIFE

Dear reader, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm writing to you on such short notice. I'm a person who believes time is running out. We live in a world filled with endless problems, yet we manage to navigate through with masks of fake smiles. I write to those like myself.  You may not have endured the same trials as I have, and your story may be different in its own way.  But know that comparing our problems won't diminish mine or justify yours.  It's curious how we find hope in the tales of others. So, I hope you'll learn to let go and trust in God.  I hope you'll forgive yourself and others who may have caused you pain and resentment.  I hope you'll learn to live in the present and aspire to a brighter future.  I hope you'll discern truth from deception when others attempt to mislead you.  I hope you'll realize that true love begins with self-love before extending to others.  I hope you'll embrace inner peace amidst life's...

The young me

The story that completed me is the story I'm gonna share Years ago I wore pant designed with curiosity Hair bands made of pity With a matching shirt that reads she's too gullible I spend time alone in a corner feeling too ashamed to unvail my identity Wasn't sure of who I was so I kept jumping into spaces that didn't fit pretends was my best friend,oh! I Mean the only soul I got I freely gave what I had but held on to candies that weren't met for all Even though I looked strong I was bullied by those way too young to hit me Crying like a baby was all I knew best  And it didn't help, no it didn't So I crawled out of peoples Lives when I stop feeling comfortable Like a candle stick I held on to what I really felt within Before I clocked 15 have got lot of fears seating in my heart Each time I cough it like a bomb been released Into the universe Like a dream come through all my fear started to manifest it existence And yeah!I saw them coming but couldn't fi...

TRIBUTE

Barren land,  Everything seems dry, even the air that i breathe. Would have killed myself at the mere thought of this years back, But today my fingers will have to write a tribute to you on this trip you've embarked on. You left without a goodbye, Or maybe a goodbye wouldn't have helped my pain. The dreams we both had are all gone. How can I live on my own? How can I love again? The stars have lost their shine. The sun has gone dim. My life's shattered. My heart now knows the bitter taste of sadness. I never expected you would let go of me. I wish I can kill death. I wish I can stab bitterness. I wish I can drown pain, Never to let it float. But you are gone, and I'm alone. Alone to face this world  A world that seems so crushed. Like butterfly you flew away, Leaving your fragnace over me I wish I can have one more dance with you, One more dinner with you, Just One more chat with you, Because all this "more" will add up to forever if you hadn't...
