At ninety Lamenting, I was waiting For the future You curse life Resent life That brought you here You waited The right time Perfect moment Suitable soul To find you That waiting_ Becomes your misery ending You lived in a cocoon Face masked At every chance Disguise of introvert Hiding You hoped Someone to find you Hope without movement Is just a slow collapse Make it happen Make that mistake Worry later If consequences cut deep The next will be better Dangerous to live Waiting On someone else The hopeless eternity Will crush you Into mountains You never imagined You could become Do not wait Not for the right time. Not for the right person. Move— Before regret Becomes your only companion

Regret companion
Never researched this place All I know is I want to go A new environment What I need How is life there? Do they enjoy sorghum? The way we do_ Or is it milk That fills their days? Never left this land Yet my heart is already traveling_ Restless, excited Soon will be on the other side of the country, Living stories One day, Tell generations after me Is it a bizarre place_ Or different? Do they have rivers With lovely flows Or filled with rocks With hardened steep Like a child On the edge of becoming I am ready Every stage of growth Eager. To see. To feel. To become. This is not just a journey— It is life, Reborn.

Life search
Night winds sound_ Clog the brain Fingers tremble Breathe unsteady I can hear my pulse Beating out loud_ A rising rumble A mob_ Against me False accusations Thrown like stones No room No time To defend Voices_ Screaming inside my head I am innocent, Show me leniency Piqued faces Twisted with vex Chants rising.. Outrage busting A willing guilt Placed on me One_ Against many No path to run Worst pain to face Facing fright

World against one
Wait_ I forgot The white purse The last memory My brother gave me These wildfires Won't erase the smallest trace I'll walk through them Search through ashes Pick it wherever it fell On a random floor_ I got it I return Skin burning Clothes torn Lungs chocking on smoke Purse Still in the right hand, Unburnt What is fire compared to love? Distance—nothing. If I were asked To bring you from the dead Given a cruel choice Walk on thorns Or drown in salt_ I would... In a micro second Already be halfway To you You would return in royalty No more sadness Would ever touch you again But I cannot Wish I could bring you back Because the world, With you in it, Felt better Than this.

Wild fire
I could stare at a blank page all day Because I do not have the perfect words Yet here I am Wanting to give love a chance It struck on you Like water in the desert I am quick to fall The only impulse I may never regret You are like a sanctuary Meant for two of us You haven't confessed But I know The feelings I have for you are growing, rapidly Will you... Accept If I said You're the gentleman Designed for me Hold this worried girl Who is finally giving love a chance And if you refuse_ Tell me, How will I try love again ? All this Thinking out loud Alone

Alone confessions
A matter of time, This misery will end. They say good things come_ In the end. But I don't see it Despair after despair Worry lining the road ahead, From dark... To deeper darkness. Moments like this, Mind goes stale_ No ideas, no sparks Eyes blink slower Heart denies The spirit... quietly Accepts defeat. There's a bad essence in the air Like a spell cast for destruction A few seconds of fresh air Stretch into hours Of brokenness Can't think what comes next I stay still As the clock ticks Loud with uncertainty I stopped monitoring the weather Now I wait... For something good Anything good I want to notice everlasting happiness next

Surge of uncertainity
Now am angry. This afternoon_ Unsettled something in me I am hot. Anyone in my way Should tread carefully. Tuesday handed me one word: Unruly. These rules_ Made me feel foolish Small Now_ I'm thinking clearly Used to be _ Bottom of coward Overlooked Taken for granted Not anymore Now I want to scream Let there be sadness. Let there be regret for the time of mine that was mishandled. This Tuesday Has me changing Not the way you'd expect Too bad _ I'm becoming something else A bad disciple Judge me I won't feel less than No one here is any better I feel hostile My voice trembles Like it's about to break something open No one should try me now I'm figuring out Will I still make it to heaven? If I keep on going like this..

Tuesday word
You are no longer in my custody. Eighteen years have passed_ In my eyes, You are still five. How seasons varied You changed along with them. I no longer guide your every step, Nor do I cook your meals Or choose your path. Now I watch from a distance_ As you learn As you fall Sometimes you smile from your mistakes Sometimes resent them You are your own guardian now, Creating your own destiny And I, Shall be around When you need me Know that. However tall you are ; How far you go You are still my little angle You become your own patron I am growing older Sitting quietly in this house, Learning_ I must now guard myself. Remember_ You were once mine I am still yours

Guardian
You were my second love, I chose you to be my last. It was steady, Charm_ Made me feel amazing Engraved yourself into my soul, Morning after morning. Couldn't stop wanting you. Your name_ The most beautiful thing I owned: Jedidah. Nicknamed you Soul You lived in my light, And I in yours. We were intertwined An alibi of love Wanted you to claim, To own This fresh blossom It felt right in your arms But now_ I am not who I was. Fiery chills turned numb Cannot undo, No matter how I try You're no longer The trophy The medal I once saw you as No amount of repentance Can soften what has hardened Allure become repulse I'm on a different path One where you don't exist, And I cannot explain why. Only this: somehow, everything is lost

Soul of souls
Before we choose allies Before we avenge Who never chose us _ Am here To force diplomacy Teach peace A_ you have vendetta against B B_ You burn to prove power to A Let me break this spectre I belong to both of you Whoever falls Whoever wins Hurt is inevitable You made us hate Air we breathe Anxious of our surroundings Terrified of tomorrow Rivers gushing with red Tear glands dried_ With anger Still this doesn't concern you Your aim is... Legends craved in history But to us_ To the innocent_ Just clowns On my way here, I carried news. B_ Your central land has diminished The sea now drought Rage... A celebrates Do not celebrate too soon A_ The western rocks of your land Crushed every living thing Lifeless Because of B And so it continues— blame, revenge, promises of something worse Watching ... then I am the diplomat I am peace and stability But hear this : No allies will form If you reject reason Fight The survivor A vow Shall not live tell me… who inherits your poisoned vendetta? Who carries this obsession with power? When both of you are wiped off the universe Its best we end all this Rule out as losers or winners Out of this room It should be no more
