18/F/Nigeria Just a girl with raw and dark energy🖤
Feets buried in the sand , The wind howls to the call of the night . I feel it , I hear it , I want it . As the wind howls , the trees bend to the inner rhythm, dancing and swaying to the unspoken. I stand in between , an anchor to the coordinates of the wind , I long for where the wind takes me at night. As the trees sway so do I, I've settled for the life with the night . When the night Is stagnant , so am I, one with the wind . I answer the call of the night , the comfort it brings , when my eyes flutter close I relish the comfort of the night .

The call of the night
It's night time again , I'm left alone with my thoughts . It's night time again , it all starts coming back to me . Felt suffocated inside , came outside feeling overwhelmed, I can't see I can't think , it's insane . The movies skipped this part , they skipped the blood and the pain , they skipped the rejection and fatigue , they dashed to the happy ending slowing down mine . Do you really know who I am ? Do you know my name? Can you say my name whilst knowing me .. or do you just say it as a necessity . Even in my dreams I'm suffocated ..the one time I take a breath of fresh air , a million accidents follow . God !!I try to breathe , but each breath I take hurts more than the last . "That's the last time , I'm better now , it won't hurt anymore" lies I tell myself , lying to yourself to convince yourself is pathetic . I'm pathetic. Why does it hurt so much to breathe ? When will it stop ? Each night passes I look forward to the day the breathing stops , but at what cost ? My breath seizes but sadness befalls those who care .. My eyes close to never be red and soaked again but their eye rims overflow with tears shed and unshed . How can a girl feel so much yet so little ? How can one acquire such bags of sadness that increases each step I take ? . I must have been a ***** in the life before , this must be my eternal damnation, it's all a sick joke . Rubber slaps my wrist but yet I can't quite make that twist . What's it gonna take to make that twist ? What's it gonna take to break this curse ? ..  what's it gonna take to lose this breath ? Without bringing tears to the eyes of those who are cursed to love me ? . Maybe you did something in your life before too , your curse came as me .. mine is eternal damnation , yours is sadness for you love the ****** one  . If only somebody ,anybody  knows my name while knowing me ! If only while I drowned somebody could actually yell my name , perhaps I wouldn't be gasping for this hurtful air .. perhaps I wouldn't be crying for the breath that hurts me so . It's funny you know ..  " A man or a bear ? " they ask me .. How about " A woman and  air ?" What's she to pick ? The one that hurts her .. or the very cause of her sorrows ? What's she to choose ? Oh how big these responsibilities are but what truly are they ? She doesn't know ! But she feels the pain and is tagged as dramatic ! " Your life's not a movie !!" They say .. " You cannot always be a victim" they say , " Grow up ! You are not a child ! Be mature" And I stand and wish that I actually saw my life as a movie , then the pain wouldn't feel so real , and the blood wouldn't feel so hot as it dripped , if only my life were a movie , I would have written my happy ending . So you were wrong , but if perhaps you were right .. then this movie hurts and burns , change it to the next one please . I'm immature ? maturity would break me , it would **** me with a smile . Adulthood that I am not yet ready to face , so yes I'm immature and childish , that's the only string connecting me to life . Come home to my family and oh how they love ... Yet I can't reciprocate , " you can reciprocate by making us proud ! Excel at school as always " . How do I explain ? How do I explain the change? How do I explain that it's killing me slowly but surely , how do I explain that In order to excel I lose a bit of myself every single day ! But it's not enough , how much more do I have to lose before I breathe ? Is it until there's nothing left ? I'll bet ! . Then I'd finally excel , with my last painful breath.

Hey , hi , fine .. that's all I ever hear lately . It's okay ,it's alright you are fine . It's okay, It's alright , I know . I don't need the long lines , I don't need your epistles , I don't need your lies. The more you lie the more I see through them, the more you hurt me . It's okay ,it's alright to hurt me , it's alright to turn away .. I'll turn you back . It's alright to end the call , I'll call you back . It's alright to stop talking to me I'll never stop, am I cool with it? No , does it hurt me ? Yes , will I stop? No ,because it's alright to hurt me , hurt me but never you. Hurt me but never yourself, will I stop ? No why ? Because I'm stubborn like that . Maybe I like pain , as long as its from you though. Hurt me , but never hurt you please , that's all I ask of you .

Hurt me
Hey it's me , I just want you to know that I'm fine , I'm surviving , I'm coping , I'm me . Hey it's me ... again , I just want you to know nothings changed it's getting better , so no need to worry . Hey it's me ... ugh again , I just want you to know that you can sleep with a smile , I'm soaring high. "hello? You there ! You probably tired now" I'll stop soon , stop bugging you , I know how annoying it can be , bye . Hi it's me , I'm sorry I lied , it's killing me but I lied , I said I was fine but I'm not , I said I was surviving but I don't even know , I said I'm coping but I'm relapsing . It's nighttime you know ? They are back . They are near , they draw closer as the clock ticks ! Their screams worsen , I'm no longer busy , no longer have anything to occupy my mind with , I'm afraid they are here. I lied ! Everything has changed , I'm sorry I know lying is bad , I'll probably do it again, I'm sorry I'm a liar , it's not getting better it's stagnant, it's watching, waiting for me, waiting for the trigger , waiting to pounce . I'm sorry I'm a liar. I lied I'm not soaring high, I'm sinking lower with no expression . It's not your business I know , it's no one's business I know , but it feels like I'm carrying the sorrows of generations , it seems like I'm hearing the cries of my ancestral line ? It feels like the waters of generations fall down my eyes ... sometimes it's painful to cry but i do . Does this make sense ? One girl can't possibly hear this much, she can't possibly see this much , she can't possibly feel this much . So yes I lied , I'm not sorry actually cause it's not your business . I don't know why , I don't know why but it's different this time , it's too calm, it's becoming too quiet . I fear for it's return , I fear for how off-balance I'll be thrown . They keep screaming , I can't shut them up ! Never mind , okay bye now .

The struggles of man , the weight my mind bears , all because I need to breathe . A breath of air , never truly fresh as you remain in turmoil . You can never really wash the sins off , especially ones you never committed . Grave wounds no one can see , but yet we feel it , I feel it , digging deeper it stings , on the surface it's plain . How do I explain to people ? That my smile hurts more than my frown ? How do I explain that being around hypocrites snuffs out my light , leaving behind a mortal wound only I can see . How do I explain that I want to be alone , nursing my inner wounds and hoping for it to heal . But how do I hope ? When I might just have lost faith . My tears aren't worth a dime , yet if I had a quarter anytime they threaten to fall I'd be a millionaire. A man does not cry ! So he doesn't , a woman must not cry so I don't . I leave it to eat me alive , we leave it to eat us alive . And then , we are the reflection of who we are on the inside , and I fear - broken . It's broken .

Broken
He said he was going out to get milk… and never came back. What's the true story Mr ? Did they lie or did you ? They say father hood is a blessing yet you ducked like it was a bullet . You come back waltzing into my life like you didn't dogde it , And now I'm supposed to act like you accepted your blessing ? Fatherhood is cool so you became uncool , A father is his daughters best friend so you chose solitude . Now you come to me with stories like we are friends but you never wanted a friend . I hope you are happy Mr because I'm the happiest I can ever be. I used to stay up at night then you know? Calling out to you "Still waiting on that milk, Dad." Yet I never once saw the milk , but I bet you saw the cow ! Because I see kids around you drinking lots of it.

Mr milk man
Oh watch me wither away in the silence , watch me scream away my pain , my mouth opens yet words fail to tumble . Oh what does a girl do now ? When the burns of her past catch up with her ? Oh what does a girl do now? As she sits in a corner crying away her sorrow . So many people pass by , yet for some reason they do not see her pain, they see something else , they see an attitude in place of pain . How can she tell them ? Tell them that she's tired, tell them that her body aches ! He passes by , wishes her well but truly doesn't wanna involve himself with whatever is wrong with her , can you blame him ? She's the crazy one , the one who is always stoic , emotionless? Yet why is he always there when she's threatening to fall apart ? . Oh my girl , what shall we do with this one, the one who came tumbling down into our life , the one who's absence causes us sadness yet his closeness makes us weary . What shall we do with him ? . He watches me scream yet he hears My laughter, he watches me cry yet he sees my smile , The opposite is what I do when he comes around. I hope one day ! I'll do what I truly intend , so before I wither away my smile shall be Genuine .
