THE GIRL NEXT DOOR


THE GIRL NEXT DOOR***

The girl next door is not my sister.
She isn't even my friend.,
But a girl I admire.
She smiles bright like the stars.
She doesn't braid her hair, always letting it fly.
Her beauty is not found under the complexion of her skin
Or her  blackish lips,
But inside the holes  between her nose line.
Her definition of love is found in the heart of men who stood still in the battle front in far  beyond,
And  also  the love of YESHUA, the one who made her In his image.

The girl next door
 loves music,
The only thing that made her say Hello! When she hears R&B beats blasting from my speaker.
She said darkness is a threat to her.
Night hours reminds her of the day her mother passed on.
She said day break awakes her functional ability to give life a second chance.

She doesn't believe in second chances.
Her ex had came by the other day to plead she returns to his heart
The heart he locked when she needed him.
Yet She said " I don't feed on my vomits".

The girl next door 
Is a descendant of slavery.
On her wrist, you would find scars of shackles lines making it look like  bangles,
And her feet hurts from countless race away from life's hunters.
She said she breaks a lot of bottles at night.
When men slept, she's awake calculating and strategizing  her next step ,so she wouldn't have to  break more bottles.

The girl next door
Is not  suicidal
Or a murderer,
But surely she will cut off any hand that tries to draw her back.
The girl next door could be you.

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...
