My Scars
Deborah Ehi Sep 2022
My scars
They weren’t  planned
Just like life’s scars
They hurt sometimes
I caused them
That’s why they are my scars
I don’t wear them with pride
But they are mine
Caused by me
Made by me
No one else
This scars weren’t anyone’s to blame
These are my scars
My pain actualized
My tear monumented
While the world will scar my heart
Without my choice
These scars, my scars
With every line
With every bump and curve
Are my scars
You may not see the rationale
I don’t even know the rationale
But I know the scars
I see the scars
What caused the scars
They are and nothing else but
My scars

You can see his struggle in his eyes
It tells his story with no lies
Grey hair on his head, is it his age or evidence of his pain?
Growing up he dreamed the world was for him to gain
He’s grown ,the hole in his only pair of shoes,speaks volumes than the loudest voices could
Hearing his words,  you know he lived his life the best that he should
I believe his words, they are laced with so much sincerity
Oops! the world isn't wired that way, it's treasure aren't found by a man's goodness or maturity
This is the story of a man in the world who thought he lived life right
Who fought all life's battle with all his might
He's right in front of you, he's got only 2 pennies in his worn out jacket
He walks to the bread shop, he has lost his pennies, he should ask the holes in pocket
He is drowning in the pool of life
Wondering every second why he's alive
Searching for the perks in world
He's found nothing yet, maybe his sight is blurred
He's waiting for his end but hoping for something new
This is a story of a man stuck in the lower class looking up wondering "o what a view".

Can't ask for more time
Deborah Ehi Nov 2019
Tick Tok
what's the time on the clock

see as time flies
risk it all, roll the dice
but you can't ask for more time

hurry! live today, forget yesterday
cause just like sun, it will all fade away
but you can't ask for more time

don't think of the things you missed
time doesn't care if your regrets exist
buckle up! make a checklist
and you can't ask for more time

aim high, take flight
times doesn't wait for anyone, no matter your fright
but you can't ask for more time

the darkness
Deborah Ehi Nov 2019
I love the darkness
It’s easy to find the light in the darkness
I love the darkness
I cant see the scars in the darkness
I love the darkness
I can escape in the darkness
I love the darkness
My imagination runs wide in the darkness

I hate darkness
The light hasn’t come to save me in the darkness
I hate darkness
Monsters find it easy to lurk in the darkness
I hate the darkness
It’s quiet  in the darkness
I hate the darkness
Through the silence I hear the screams in the darkness

I love the darkness
I hate the darkness
Scared in the darkness
But comfortable in the darkness
Cant see how far I have gone in the darkness
Can’t see how far I have fallen in the darkness
All I know is darkness
I’ll also know when my light comes in darkness.

I’ll get past this storm
Deborah Ehi Dec 2018
I’ll get past this storm
Don’t have to drown myself in whiskey and some ***
I just have to wait out,letting it go
Pick myself up when I’m getting too low
Continue with my life and know
That the journey ahead may go fast or slow
But that’s alright, l’ll be alright
Just have to get to tomorrow, that seems about right
Smile in the day, sleep at night
Dine with with people I don’t have to put up a show
Grow with the spring ,past the heat and wait for the snow
That’s how i intend to live day by day
So at the end goodbye will be all i have left to say

Empty
Deborah Ehi Nov 2018
You are not half full or even a quarter
You're just empty
Nothing close to a half, so far from full
Just empty
A void
Totally a space containing absolutely nothing

Nothing to say
Nothing to write
Nothing to do
Just a space of nothing worthless or anything worthy
You're just empty
I You are just that thin line between black and white
Grey
You're just grey
Grey and empty
Prefect real definition of numb
Numb and empty

Hopeful of nothingness
Doubtful of something meaningful
Zero
Just a subtraction of nothing from nothing
You're just empty
Robbed of all the trills
Absconded from a spark
Nothing but empty
You're just empty
And I'm you
The accurate replica of your emptiness
I'm just you
I'm just empty

— The End —
