When the darkness covers the earth, I lay back on my bed With nothing to be heard, and nothing to be said But emotions feel my heart of hearts, mostly those that are sad Because it seems everything around me just chooses to be bad With tears flowing down my face, hoping to cleanse my soul I realize that somethings in this life, are barely in my control Each and every split second reminisce how to change this state I am in Because the longer I postpone it, the likely I am to sin You say I should let it go and start living my own life Forgive him you say, avoid any form of strife Not for him but rather for your self…. But I look at you and think….. Have you any Idea what I’ve been through Have you any idea how it feels to walk in my shoe Does it ever cross your mind, what it took me even break this down to you Day after day I lay back on the ground Nothing meaningful seems to come around In the silence of the night, the memories run through my head I try to speak, but...

Not so long ago the world was painted red with the festive season of Valentine’s Day. Everybody was busy dishing out flowers to loved ones and expressing their love the best way they know how. I know of a few people around me, got a taste of valentine fever; from my parents who had a special dinner in the house, to my best friend whose boyfriend made special reservations at an exclusive restaurant. I mean if it would have been hard for anyone to even ignore the fact that the notch had been raised a bit high when it came to romance and ‘love’. For me, I was partly in school, and later in the evening at home, serenading myself with R’n’B music, that always has a way of blowing my senses away. No talk, just music. Sometimes after seeing too much love in one day, you just one to be on your own, eating your favorite meal (ugali and chicken gobbled down with a glass of fresh juice and yogurt) listening to your best tunes and looking into the sky reminis...

I remember sitting by the river All alone, listening to the raging waters I was deep in thought concerning my own life My successes my failures, my moments of reconciliation and strife I was all on my own, I remember But not for long Someone came by… he was passing by, well that’s what he said But after a quick hello He was sited right by my side Upset! That’s what I was Wondering what sought of a man, would just make himself comfortable Without even realizing that I wanted to be alone My peace was interrupted I was so infuriated I wanted to throw him in the waters that would swallow him And hopefully spit him out on the furthest Ireland when he is no more All I wanted was my peace A time where my heart mind body and soul was at ease He asked me my name, and I wanted to lie But my spirit quickly spoke to me and I knew that someone was watching from on high So I was honest… I said my name Patiently waiting to see if men from the village really have ‘game’ He was silent And I wondere...

It is a cold night thankfully there’s not much fear, rather some form of warmth surrounding my heart. Though in as much as it’s all warm and fuzzy, in the deepest part of this small heart of mine, I wish someone would embrace me. It’s been a long day-it begun on a good note and remained the same. I am no celebrity; but somehow today I had every person screaming out my name, eager to hear if I watched the previous day’s football game. I didn’t. Whoops! Sorry, I had lots of assignments to think of and do, and quite frankly I’m the last person you’d expect to be sited for 90 minutes glued to a television cheering for people who have no idea I exist and still have this grave idea in their head, that, the whole world is watching them, as in? Anyway, I ignored the whole story and on the contrary opted to go to the library. With a couple of heavy books on my left hand and my bag comfortably resting on my right arm, it was quite easy to tell, football and I just didn’t connect. So I...
