23/M/kenya Traveler of thoughts, builder of dreams, and keeper of unfinished stories. My poems live where love collides with loss, and hope refuses to die.
Tonight, I shall embark on a voyage of self-love, Like a fragile butterfly emerging from its cocoon, I shall embrace the scars, those delicate whispers, They adorn my existence like ethereal moonlight. In the tapestry of my being, flaws find solace, They are the brushstrokes upon a masterpiece, For in their imperfection lies a captivating truth, A symphony of uniqueness, an enchanting reprise. With tender hands, I mend my fractured fragments, As a skilled artisan repairs a shattered porcelain, I gather the scattered pieces with utmost care, Crafting a kaleidoscope of resilience and grace. Tonight, the stars align in harmonious reverence, Witnessing the birth of an unwavering spirit, I shall cast away doubts, like a tempest subsides, And let my vibrant soul dance, unburdened and free. For this night is mine, a celebration of existence, A declaration of love, unyielding and true, So let the universe bear witness to my rebirth, As I embrace the symphony of life, with every breath anew. Tonight, I will live, in the fullness of my being, A flame ignited, burning bright and fierce, Let me live, in the tapestry of my dreams, Where love's melody reverberates, and magic appears.

I choose to love myself.
You see me smile But you don’t know what lies behind this mask that I wear You can’t see the scars that are hidden with my fancy worn clothes You can’t understand how many times I have cried under my pillow So that I may fake a smile in the morning You waked into my life Just as everyone else does You made me feel at home And together we were a family I thought that it would last forever But I came to know that forever is a term that only exist in my mind You later walked out of my life And just like everyone else You left without a goodbye I am broke inside Even though you guys think am strong Behind this mask Is a desperate, torn person Who has cried a million tears All through this years Trying to find a better version of myself

Behind the mask
I’m in a battle field I am loosing I have no backup to help me flee I’ve got one shot to make But I think am late This life is my battle field I have struggled in this field But I am not strong enough to beat it I have loved But in return they have spat on me and laughed I have fed the hungry But when they were full and strong they fed on me I have got one shot to make But thousands of enemies to beat Should I take this shot down my throat? Or wait for the enemies to bring me down I will keep the good memories And remember not the bad ones I have learnt that the love I had Is just a moment in time that I can only treasure.

I AM LOOSING
she was only 12 when it happened she was bitter, cried, rolled herself against the ground seeking for comfort and refuge but the only refuge she found was in her pen "mother, i never thought that a time will come when we will bid each other goodbye it was too soon even before the rising of the sun or the descending of the new moon thanks for giving your life for me even though i thought you were mean you gave me a reason to smile and i will take it to a different mile i will forever keep a song in my heart bring down the blazing flames of hate and love till the ending of my fate" this is a letter of a motherless child to her dead mum.

A motherless child
How does a memory last forever? How can a story never die Maybe some memories ain’t perfect Maybe some stories ain't so sweet We have to embrace the bad times in our lives Or our lives ain’t complete

I cry I laugh Sometimes am forced to act like am okay Even when things aren’t working my way You refer to me as perfect That you give me no space to cry To me there is no chance of trying I have to work like my life depends on it Whenever I try to express my feelings You say that am abnormal You have forgotten that am human And crying is just normal You say that I have changed Yeah that true This is all because of this pain that you have inflicted in me May be if you would have listened I would have been normal Right now am indebted to the pain that you inflicted in me Coz pain is like a loan And no matter what I do I can never repay it You’ve forgotten that am human And crying is just normal

Pain
I plan for the days ahead I plan for the future I plan for the moments unseen and days to come What if tomorrow never comes What if all that I ever dreamed of was an illusion That I will never come to see it pass Sometimes I lay in bed Trying to recall all the moments that have passed Trying to visualize my dreams Trying to make them feel so real What if when I lay in this bed I will never wake up again Will they ever come to know how much I loved them? Will they ever come to see the world the same way that I saw it? Will they ever know the dreams that I had for them? What if tomorrow never comes They say plan your tomorrow today For a better future But I will do my tomorrow today For I don’t know if tomorrow will ever come I will show my love today and I will not hesitate I will help and be kind today For I don’t know when the sun is going to rise again If tomorrow never comes, Just know that I loved you…

If tomorrow never comes
I thought I had you but it seems I lost from the word go I think I have no apology to make cause this was never meant to be Yeah… I mean you and I In the beginning it was all fun It was fantastic it was angelic It was wow It was all that one could have ever thought of a relationship We were all over their mouths And they referred to us as the perfect couple in town Yeah it was all over before it began The moment that you knocked onto my door I knew that you would cost me my happiness The moment that I let you step into my life That’s when I went crumbling You are: Beautiful Eloquent Cute Adorable Good looking Pretty Charming Gorgeous Lovely Exquisite Stunning Foxy Radiant Hot Angelic Alluring Bootylicious Fabulous Tempting And all the other words that can be used to describe perfection You were the perfect icon that the public could see But deep down inside you were: Bitter Imperfect Outrageous Deceptive A liar You were full of stains And that is what you never wanted the public to see in you yeah, the real you I saw your outer beauty and that’s where I went wrong I believed in love at first site I believed that one day I our relationship would like that of Romeo and Juliet I believed in the phrase “till death do as apart” But you've just proved me wrong Love is just a phrase that doesn’t make any sense without the incorporation of Care Trust And loyalty It was over before it began but I played blind all through. Just to give you second chance It is not that I was deaf But I could have never let the public ruin my description of perfect and that was you You did **** before my eyes but i still sat calm like nothing ever happened so unpredictable you were that  you ended up stamping me right on my back It was all over before it began but i played blind and deaf so as to protect my description of perfect and that was you

It was six in the evening The sun had already bid us goodbye Darkness was approaching As daylight was waving us goodbye You were standing on a ledge shivering Like a bird without a nest you were I never believed in love at first site but as soon as I saw you I felt like you were the one We first became associates Then friends Then best friends And I don’t know how it became to happen You became my girlfriend and at last you were my fiancé I promised you I will offer you the world But it seems you misunderstood these words What I meant was that I will offer you what is within my reach You left me broken hearted for I failed to be rich Are you still there? Please answer my call Am in need of you right now The pain of losing you is too much to bear Walking without you makes me feel bare I keep waking up each morning with you on my lips But it’s only your name and not your kiss Are you still there? Am not rich but I can offer you what I have Please come back for am still waiting for you.

Are you still there.
Many people have different perspective of life Many dreams and visions which most probably turn out to be a lie Before I die want to live Live to inspire lives Live to be the voice of the less fortunate in the society Live to be myself Live to be the background voice which crusades for peace, love, and joy Live and never say goodbye to my loved ones Before I die… I want to be brave enough Be brave enough to face my fears Be brave enough to stand by the truth even though it hurts Be brave enough to tell others their wrongs even though they may end hating me Be brave enough to face all my problems instead of walking away from them Be brave enough to stand before a crowd and have no stage fright Be brave enough to think out loud and know that my opinion matters Before I die… I want to experience true love Many people see the end of the relationship before it even begins Many people break up for the fear of being heart broken Many people say that true love exist but they never go a notch higher to search for it Before I die I want to experience true love I want to really know if the love between Romeo and Juliet ever existed or was it just a fiction I want to know if you can ever love a person so much that you can’t watch them suffer I want to know if the phrase loving you till death do as apart is only a phrase used at the altar to impress the audience or is it there in real life. Before I die I want to know if true love really exists Before I die … I want to stay awake Stay awake so that I may see what others don’t see while they are asleep Stay awake so that I may explore the wonders of this world Stay awake so that I may watch every moment pass Stay awake so as to secure my future I don’t want to take a nap so that I may dream, I want to dream while am awake I want to stay awake so as to see the world from a different perspective not as others see it Before I die I want to stay awake.
