at 18 I'm having an existential crisis
Written by me, Written to you, Written for us – I am your poetess, You are my poem, We are living poetry. I am your pen, You are my words, We are an incomplete manuscript. I am your ink, You are my pages, We are an unfinished book. I am your vessel, You are my essence, We are an ongoing story. I will not stop writing, You will not stop inspiring, We will not stop creating –

#4. Literature, 11/16/15.
The words I've lost are too many. My ignorance has spoken for me too many times. I no longer feel like a part of myself, My voice is not my won.

I Haven't Written In A Lifetime
Your love begs the release of this immunity. You see,despite my growing ****** I remain an oddity.

I've missed this place and it's little yellow box.I've missed the talent and inspiration.I've missed reading till I fell asleep with the phone on my hand but I've missed writing the most!

Hello There Poetry
Mortal gods stand by, amused by Africa's cry. A continent in despair, its prayers remain suspended in the air.

I'ndaba Ezimbi
The world has not been kind to her kind. Tormented by her mind, peace she can not find. History bears witness to her mental stain. Told that her skin is a disease, she scrubs away the pain. Wounded and forever alone in this desert terrain. Hope floods her thoughts like summer rain. The red of her blood seeps through her scars, liquid consolation caressing her skin. She is human,isn't that enough?

Sculpt these words with the joy of your hard work. Coulor each sentence with the crimson of your passion. Engrave into every detail the essence of You. Dedication will be the sweat you wipe from your brow.

Justice is a mask that eludes the public eye. Worn by decievers and believers,politicians and priests,two sides of the same rusted coin. Edged on the verge of truth,lies are spat,votes are cast and offerings are  made. Oblivious sheep,shaving their own wool.

I Lack The Herd Instinct
Broken glass for roses petals, an elegy of the ghetto.

Slum dreams burn in candle light. A flicker of hope against the rage of the night.
