26/M I try to see the beauty in everything
Every morning I just have to see your face When am rushing, you do more than just slow my pace Middle of the night you caressing me I love that at times you let me be we sacrificed a lot, nothing's given free You're the bravery that makes all my fears flee My baby,my gentle breeze Your smile brings my hot heart to a cold freeze You loved me though I never was a saint My ****** soul only you could taint A lifeless canvas that only you can paint They look and see but you hold me and I feel invisible A world where we don't find each other feels impossible It was a crushing weight It was a worrying sight You never spoke you just held my arm You never spoke just made sure I came close to no harm Troubling times, you just kept mind calm Rainy days, with you am at the beach resting under palms You lift my spirits when my soul drops Encourage me when my plans flop With you is when my pain stops

I don't do it because I want to I do it because my culture demands it I don't do it because I want to I do it because if I don't my family and friends look at me funny I don't do it because I want to I do it for the fans I don't do it because I want to I do for the money and fame I don't do it because I want to I do it because that's the game and I'm just a player I don't do it because I want to I do it because that's how it has always been done I don't do it because I want to I do it because I don't want to be an outcast I don't do it because I want to I do it because deep down am afraid I'll be shunned I don't do it because I want to I do because I lack the will to change what I've become I don't do it because I want to I do it because we somehow decided collectively this is how it should be done I don't do it because I want to I do it because it seems better to part of the flock rather than the black sheep I don't do it because I want to I do it because they told me to never deviate from the plan I don't do it because I want to I do it because I was raised to never question

Why I do it
Lazima uchoose, dooh ama doze Lazima uchoose, respect alarm ama uisnooze Lazima uchoose, ujitume ama ulose Lazima uchoose, ujibuild au ***** Izi ndo vitu hamtaki kuambiwa, izi ndo the truth Mnataka niseme life ni smooth but Leo siwasooth Sherehe Sheria ndio inamaliza mayouth Ukilewa vuguru, Hadi hunaga matooth Daily unadial pedi ukidai Mali Jipende buda na for sure utafika mbali Imagine ukiwa diani ukiorder wali Si lazima buy iyo jumu expe ati ju ni Kali Picha ya Kenyatta Kwa walanje ndo unafaa kusaka Jipe goals Ka Sancho, salah au saka Mulla mob, nine lives Ka paka Usijitreat Ka trash we si takataka But anyway maisha ni yako Chaguo ni lako Ntaachia apo ju naskia mtu Kwa mlango Am sure ni peng Fulani utoka pango

Chagua (choose)
Sites to behold A time to be bold Tales to be told Mysteries to unfold Calm and composed Secret and undisclosed Triumphant and unopposed Unpretentious , truth overdosed Broke away from the stranglehold Blessings sevenfold Beautiful moments foretold Brass turns to gold

Jesus once said love others as you love yourself What happens when you don't even love yourself ?

I dug myself into a hole I am now just a fraction of the whole Everything slipping out of my control Am a red alert if you're on danger patrol I didn't see the signs Should have quit the lines As salty and bitter like brine Aware it's my last supper but still I dine Say it's sublime but nothing is fine Need victory but defeat is mine If I'm to forget, I'll need more than wine Can't face this, it's as hard as swallowing a pine Hate this moment like a moslem despises a swine

Lows
the country was laden with corpses, carcasses and calamity the streets were full of strife and suffering hearts were burdened, backs were heavy with baggage all hopes dead, all heads bowed down, all starry dreams denied, every step treacherous, every eye ever tearful, every lip trembled energy drained, envy reigned demons and devils danced, demeaning and devoid of delight

Negative zone
How did I get here? Was this always my pre-ordained destination? I find myself amongst strangers In common ,the angst in all our minds is major I can see desparation and longing on their faces Does the inherent need for company and companion bring us all together to such places? We may all manage to bury our grief But the efforts at suppression turn out to be brief How did I get here? This is the question I need desperately answered Thoughts of days gone by ravaging my mind like a cancer Some do it to remember ,others to forget Eventually all end up upset A temporary moment of false calm and consolation These are the perks and privileges of self medication

How did I get here?
I let myself be bare Open and exposed naked as the day I was born All could see me yet I couldn't see myself An open book all could read but none understood One moment elation the next not in the mood There cold and confused I stood Staring at their faces Some were seemingly sad some artificially happy some In-between but none content All aloof and alone not one could connect All dreading closing time for there was no one to go home to Some in complete terror not even a home to go to I have to admit that at times I felt scared too I felt no glimmers of hope I saw no glimpses of light Too weak to put up a fight

I like where this going Feeling sky high like flying in a boeing Love for who i am, no room to judge **** the loneliness, it's a purge This girl I love she be my queen Make it be better than its ever been My lifeline in this endless ocean, a raft Naturally gifted at giving joy, maybe her craft Mind-blowing like the monalisa, everypart of her be pure art Eternally attracted to each and every part
