I was afraid to fly Spread my wings high in the sky Exceed my limits and defy All the boundaries on my mind I was afraid to fly I was incapable of believing That one day I will be the dream I was feeding I thought congratulations were only in order when succeeding But I woke up today and for that, I'm cheering I thought therefore I was I thought that I didn't need a cause A reason A force I thought therefore I was I thought therefore I am I switched gears and unleashed my fears I challenged my mind and my soul I broke mental barriers and chains That told me I was not worthy as a whole I grieved as though you were the one But time, knowledge, and experience taught me it was a chapter of the plan A plan I am in control of A plan I wear as a boxing glove To fight for what I deserve and what I'm worthy of I switched gears I switched the was to persevere I thought therefore I was I thought therefore I am

Afraid to Fly

I was afraid to fly Spread my wings high in the sky Exceed my limits and defy All the boundaries on my mind I was afraid to fly I was incapable of believing That one day I will be the dream I was feeding I thought congratulations were only in order when succeeding But I woke up today and for that, I'm cheering I thought therefore I was I thought that I didn't need a cause A reason A force I thought therefore I was I thought therefore I am I switched gears and unleashed my fears I challenged my mind and my soul I broke mental barriers and chains That told me I was not worthy as a whole I grieved as though you were the one But time, knowledge, and experience taught me it was a chapter of the plan A plan I am in control of A plan I wear as a boxing glove To fight for what I deserve and what I'm worthy of I switched gears I switched the was to persevere I thought therefore I was I thought therefore I am

"You always have so much to say in your poems, how come you quiet now?" I'll tell you why It's because, I shift the words in my tongue to my paper, It's because, I marinate it well enough in my feelings for you to see a clear picture I then watch and hear the "I relate to this so much, you couldn't have said it better" Claps and snaps here and there almost as if it's a pastor reading a scripture I thank you and tell you I appreciate your feedback I watch you depart, and only wonder, You still want my response to the questions you ponder?

A tear shed down her face As he turned away and fastened his pace She put to words what he felt But little did she know, these feelings were like seat belts, Easily unbuckled and left! Why was she in tears? When he clearly didn't care! She believed she was the canvas he could ever decipher Little did she know, She was the broken heart pieces, he damaged and left uninterpreted! He promised love He promised future But these two can't be together Little did he know, They were both fighting a battle They didn't know about! A battle of superiority and dominance A battle of intellectuality and concreteness But their stars didn't align with the solar system to play it out! Clashes of sensitivity and poured emotions, Broke out the connectivity aligning their originality Little did they know, A girl was in the picture, A guy was in the picture! "Cheating" they classified it, Heartbeats it was thee! Heartbeats towards a new young soul, They confided with the pouring of emotions of a guy Wussy of him it was thought, Keeping it real, it was thee!

Fate is a cunning act It can bring you beautiful things Yet sometimes leave you feeling attacked! In a world of no balance between minimal and maximal effort, I find myself fighting the truth of the matter and the beautified lie! Wherever I turn, a knife is stuck on someone's back Leaving them paralyzed and sadly attacked Fate brings friends together Teaches them that patience is a virtue Later strikes and speed! Fatally, grasping away happiness which was a pursuit So why believe in fate, when it can bring beautiful things But it's a cunning act?

Its art was so intense and intriguing They named it deep! Deep was its soul Deep was its colour Deep was its intensity! Beautiful yet undervalued Generous yet undermined! So beautiful it irrigates the fields, Assertively, gorging its four ends Diverse cultures and religions it combined, Uniting my residents it signed! Black, White, Yellow or Brown, I shall leave no skin colour behind! Young East African, I defined myself In a Northern Sudanese tribe is where I content myself! A Muslim Sudanese female, I elucidated myself, Capable of fighting my black I confided in myself! Privileged enough to stand for my rights Thankfully never had to experience being held against my rights! Stereotypically speaking, I shouldn't be granted my rights But religion and culture protected my rights! In this enormous land of green, I learned how to be diversity competent, North, South, East & West, Different traditions and nationalities it held I learned how it is viewed in the world and how it views the world, Respect for its land and people is all it offered and asked for. Nothing less than powerful & privileged it made me! "My Africa" I called it, With my heart, soul and mind I solely protected it! I am proud of my culture and heritage! I am confident that I will achieve with red, black, white & green colours I am African! It's my name! It's my language! It's my blood! It's my rhythm!

There's simplicity in being nameless There's fun in being a mystery There's uniqueness in being the special thought I can use codes and letters and nicknames to describe you, But I'd be labelling you... I can use codes and letters and nicknames to describe you, But I'd be exposing you... I could...use codes and letters and nicknames to describe you But I'd have others smiling with me in the thought of you! You're my own... You're the peaceful thought to my distorted mind You're the light in my eyes that stays shined If I were to describe it, I'd say it wasn't love at first sight, it was soul at first sight I read the quote "people say that eyes are windows to the soul" and the only eyes I imagined seeing are yours In them, I feel safe In them I see love In them, I'm at peace

Losing your way is like losing track of time! Not realizing all the hours that fly by is the same as walking down an unending path We sometimes tend to take our paths for granted! We aimlessly walk around We see new corridors of life Some that shouldn't necessarily encounter us! We continue walking though The clock ticks and we keep crossing Each corridor holds a meaningful lesson We learn it and move on to the next one The lesson of yesterday's corridor, eases the walk on tomorrow's one As we walk, we plan As we plan, we apply As we apply, we admire And the cycle continues till we shut down

I'll sleep when I'm dead I'll get the eternal rest I need I'll get the eternal rest I've been longing for I'll sleep when I'm dead. I'll be able to shut down the world for good I'll be able to silence my past I'll dream of my future with god I'll sleep when I'm dead. I won't wake up again I won't worry about a soul but mine I won't walk again I won't talk again I'll be dead!

I'm tired of feeling like I'm chasing you! I look for you but you're barely ever there! I call on you but you're surrounded with noise! I finally find you but it's for a few seconds then you're gone again! It's tiring and embarrassing! It's heavy keeping it in! But, I don't want to lose you and lose myself chasing you I'd rather admire you from afar than say a word I fear losing you more than losing me I lost me a few times, But I found my way back! I think I am afraid of chasing you away... You'd fear my obsession and escape! Far, far away...

June 12th It’s been a month or so since my hiding I’ve been talking to god a lot lately Some are conversations asking for forgiveness Asking whether this was all part of his plan Asking if there’s ever a way I’ll be happy again After all “it’s all in god’s hands!” Clock is ticking and my patience is running Trying to get answers I think it should slow down It might be running in the wrong direction I’m stuck... But I won’t give up This is a fight For my soul’s growth Can’t abandon that! I also can’t abandon it because it belongs to my parents I can’t sell my soul to the devil I can’t let them down by committing sins I can’t let their heads face down in front of others I can’t! It’s tormenting! But... Doesn’t that mean I have a soul? It tormenting me? Sorry god... Let’s rewind You do work in mysterious ways... Which means, you can take something away that we love instead of giving more. “Sometimes the Blessings are not in what he gives, but what he takes away.” I need to think and we’ll talk again god Thank you!
