twenty one pilots
aren't you forgetting something?
the twenty second second
second from the one
one you forgot
the twenty second ammend-ment
meant a lot
to the twenty second pilot
twenty two pilots doesn't sound about as right though
stuck in the shadows
waters so shallow
swallow the bitterness
betterness isn't a word apparently
twenty second pilot take a taxi cab

I never really felt alive
Until I watched Olivia Pope do it
She stood in the sun

From the very core of my being,
to the very last strand of my mane
I am African
Yes, from Africa
Not the Africa of starving children
Certainly not the Africa of women deprived of voting rights
nor the adoption hub of the rich and famous
that is your Africa, not ours.
Our Africa
yes, our Africa
Is a developing child, constantly, incessantly ridiculed,
reminded of its inability to walk,
but see how it crawls towards the mark,
feel the steady beat of its hurting heart,
Isn't that a sign of vitality?
Isn't that the very beat that keeps mother earth alive?
Yes I am African from Africa
The Africa the world wont tell you about
The Africa that sheds a tear everyday and says;
" dear world, see me for who i am,
no, not through the lens of a misguided camera,
see me through the lens..
of a telescope"

"I planted peaches and apples
but ate only the seeds...i mean..the poison,
gladly tossing the fruit away"
silently
as in introspection
i look at all the poison growing around me
not far away is my little watering can
the one with which i had happily watered all the poison
and now..and now it is in full bloom
poison was the words that proceeded out of his mouth
every statement a measure of cyanide
calculated cunningly for everyday of my existence
and willingly i drank from my cup
slowly slowly
he rolls his tongue and spews forth the venom,
the venom that would be the end of me
"focus focus" my mind screams
but i can't
i cant hold on to the very dreams that held me together in days bygone
how dare you accuse yourself of such ?
Did you tell him to lace the compliments with arsenic?
questions..questions..questions
but no answers
Im gone

slowly I rise and dust myself
ready for the dark days ahead
your birthday,
your death day, mother's day

you have my green eyes, i have your hair colour
we wear matching clothes, people tell us that we are adorable
you go to my school, and we have the same crush
same birthday, same parents, same complexition, same everything
twins you say? your mistake
we are Greece and Greece
let the tug of war begin

1 love; that's ours
Oh how I cherish it
2 hearts; that beat in sync
You really are my soul mate
3 people; when it stopped being tango
Why did you bring her in?
4 minutes, of break up drama
I love you too much to argue with you
5 hours; to pack and leave
A sad departure
6 days; to come to terms with it
How could you?
7 weeks; hoping you'd come for me
But you never did
8 months, all the hope is gone
Except a small flicker
9 years; exactly our daughter's age
You never came to see her
10 decades; how a day without you feels
God I feel so old
11 times, I see you and hide
I look like I've been to hell and back
12 thousands; got her out of the picture
Yes...she values money more than you
13 photos of you and her; cut to shreds
But still they haunt me in my sleep
14 miles; cut to zero once again
I'm glad to have you back
15 songs; I dedicate to you my love
You are my one and only obsession

Skating on thin ice
Everything I say seems to make you hate me more
That’s not how it’s supposed to be
I whispered in your ear and you accused me of screaming
Dear husband,
Who is supposed to love me when you don’t?
Who am I supposed to impress when I can’t even arouse your curiosity
Wasn't it only yesterday when I was the object of your interest?
Or wait maybe it was just lust and now years of child bearing have diminished my worth?
Dear husband,
What about those promises made under the stars?
Or the five children that we had in less than 10 years?
Or the bruises I hid every time you hit me and I didn't tell a soul?
What about them my love?
Dear husband,
Yesterday I put on the dress that you used to like,
You said I look like a *****
I tried another one and you called me an old hag
What changed my love?
Dear husband
Don’t say I never loved you,
But today I'm going to file for a divorce
I'm not ashamed, I'm not a failure
I'm just a woman standing up for herself!

My pain cannot be hidden,
All my words are tinged with red, not because I misspelled them,
But because my pain cannot be hidden
I trusted, I admired and I loved, but no, you didn't
All you wanted was to make me bleed
Just one knife hole would have been enough
But no, only a million needle ****** would do for you
You said I was beautiful inside
My thoughts led me to believe it was my heart you were referring to
But no, you were talking about my ******
How could I be so naive!
With my eyes closed, I let you strip away the innocence of my youth
All in hope that you would stay,
But no, you had other plans
You were on mission “use and discard”
Yes, you succeeded
Everyone told me that I could live without you,
“We have all been there and back” they said
But no, that was a fabrication,
A common platitude… that doesn't work
Well that was yesterday, before I saw you with that girl today,
Your accomplice on mission; “break her down”
But no, this time you didn't succeed
Well it’s true that we are all like pebbles of sand, the wind can blow us away
You are not an exception
