31/M/South Africa I'm an invisible disability activist who'll try 2 fly, run, or even crawl. watvr it takes 4 awarenes. Most of my writings are about Epilepsy and seizures and impact in my life. https://www.facebook.com/EpilepsyandCpfriends/
On my knees, I kneel. I beg for compassion. ........ Because...... To love is to forgive. To forgive is to love. To forgive is divine. To error is human. Don't deny the fulfillment of God's law. love isn't optional but God's command. And forgiveness is Godly. Please forgive me, come back home. Our home has turned into a house. It's cold, please come back. Come back and make it warm. Please come back to restore this home. Forgiveness is the final form of love. Forgiving won't change the past. But can change our future. Please forgive me, take my hand, let's boldy face the future till death do us part. After all, in the words of Bishop T. D. Jakes: "love is union of two great forgivers not lovers"

Please forgive me
It’s a good day the lord granted. Everything seems so perfect. Weather is sweet. Sun’s shining. What could go wrong? …….Until….. I felt you coming. Like a hijacker through a rear view mirror. How I wish for a false alarm. Dear lord may this cup pass. A moment to accept the inevitable arrived. Oh my God! you seized me once again. You came like a thief at midnight. You hijacked my mind. You exposed me to wrath of migraines. Horrible 30 seconds in a 24hour day. It's like a small stain on a white garment. The cruelty of an epileptic seizure is inevitable. https://m.facebook.com/EpilepsyandCpfriends

Epilepsy art thou cruel.
Those you haven’t victimized fear you. Mighty and dreadful you seem. Little do they know, you only seize flesh and control the mind. You seize not the soul. Hence be not proud. You’ve dwelled in me for many years. Imprisoned me to anti-epileptic drugs. You’ve dispirited me. You attack, seize, and control my mind. Your attacks are but brief. Epilepsy be not proud. For I fear not what rescind only flesh. I fear what abolish both soul and flesh. Proportional to gravitational force I fell. I’ve always find the forte to rise. Epilepsy be not proud. For against all odds, I’m still alive. https://m.facebook.com/EpilepsyandCpfriends

Epilepsy be not proud
In the beginning there was a reader, poet, pen and paper. Like an artist towards a stage, a Poet approached the paper for freedom of expression. The poet had secrets he couldn’t trust anyone to keep. The feelings and secrets were so ocean deep. The poet saw bias and hypocritical verdicts through reader’s eyes. The poet trusted the paper and pen instead of readers. Readers know not the poet’s pain, misery, and happiness. Only God knows the poet's expression via a pen on paper. Readers see the pen’s ink on paper. They don’t see tear’s marked on the poet’s face. Neither do they see the smile on the poet’s face. The pen and paper is just the poet’s podium for freedom of expression. Neither pen nor paper however knows the depth of a poet’s feelings.

Reader, poet, pen and paper.
I've been ignored and sidelined. Denied freedom of expression. Due to poverty, I was laughed at. I was hurt, broken, and fought against. Like a bicycle, I kept my balance to keep moving. Then I won. I’M THE STONE THE BUILDER REFUSED who’s……….. Passion didn’t come without suffering. I strived not to be noticed. I strived for my absence to be felt. My intention wasn’t waiting for the storm to pass. The intention was to dance in the rain. Kneeling before God gave him ability to stand before anyone. I’M THE STONE THE BUILDER REFUSED whom against all odds: Forge without questioning. Loved without condition. Cared for people without expectations. Gave without any sparing. Shared without pretending. I'm the same stone that turned to be the corner stone.

The corner stone the builder refused.
Nobody knows how it feels. How living in fear feels. Not knowing my next seizure. How, where and when? Public or private zone? I fear the cruelty of epilepsy. The devil you know better's than an angel you don’t? I bet to differ. This inevitable monster cohabite since childhood. Anxiety haunts me even in parenthood. Nobody knows why and how it feels except God.

Me, God and Anxiety
I’ve had myriad seizures in my life. I’m however, still alive. An obscure force constantly attacked me. A force directly proportional to gravity. God granted serenity to accept the certainty, Epilepsy, you’re in my life. You don’t own my life. My cognitive function has been dented. I’ve been labelled and painted. Sometimes even laughed at. Seized, fell and rose countlessly. I soldiered on courageously. Giving up has never been an option. I never took my eyes off the goal posts. Epilepsy tried to shift the goal posts. Against all odds, I graduated. Applause as I approach the podium. They applaud for academic success. I however applaud for overcoming epilepsy. Hospital was my other home during studies. Marks capped, academic record not true image of success.

Graduation of an epileptic.
Your morning smile is precious. It gives me happiness. Smiling is indeed contagious. Your smile puts me on “daily autopilot”. You make me believe I can fly like a dove. Is this the power of love? Your smile is a catalyst to beauty not makeup. To accolade your smile I trade a boffola for laughter. Just to relax your muscle tension. Oh yes, laughter restores the body’s natural energy. I see the light through your crystal white teeth every morning. It chases all nightmares like sunrise chasing the darkness. A morning without you by my side is void. I’m addicted to your morning smile.

I wanna wake up to your beautiful smile always.
I'm a DJ, a Disk jockey. My fingers are like a jockey stick. I breathe and live House music. The first descendant of Disco music. I'm the descendant of Frankie Knuckles. My tunes ease listener's glooms. I'm a predator, music beats are my prey. House music is the only language I understand. I busk locally and internationally. I'm a beast, not just any beast. Beast that play 4/4 repetitive beats. I play tunes that move with heart beats. My tunes aren't restricted to race or religion. Behind the deck, I'm thee "House beast"

I'm the House beast
For your love, I'll do anything. Climb the highest mountain. Just to prove that my love is divine. Swim the deepest ocean. Just to save you from sinking. You're always in my mind. I can't imagine a day without you. A day without you feels like a week. A week feels like a month. A month feels like a year. We're like conjoined twins with one heart. I can't define love. But love without us is undefined. "I love you" is an understatement. What I feel is more than love.
