You just cant deal with rejection and you know it
You dont love me
you looked like you hated the fact that i breath
you stared deep into cold blue eyes
with those soulful brown orbz

Bearing in to the depths of my soul
you glared at me
After i spat your  love for me back in your face

You had gotten on one knee
A victim of unrequited love
I never loved you, you saw yourself as one thing
After you pulled out that velvet glad box i realized

(Tsungayi Kazembe)
So I just sat there
thinking
Letting my thoughts use my skull
as a punching bag
stressing myself over the inevitable
People die, they walk away
Or run
whichever way will get them
away from you as fast as possible.

My body just sat there
And for two hours
I existed
I became one with the insignificant things
The broken chair in the corner of the room
The piece of paper on the floor
The stains on the window
The stake of empty instrument boxes
For two hours I tortured myself.

Kept telling the people in the room to be quiet
But truth is, its the voices in my head that were making
The loudest noise
"YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH"they chanted
"YOU ARE A FAILURE" they said
"YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROBLEM" they accused
"THATS WHY SHE........"
"THATS WHY SHE......"
I had to slap myself to send the voices running

And I know it might be quiet I my head
But it doesn't mean they are gone
The voices have become good at playing hide and seek
The anti-psychotics don't seem to be  working anymore

So I decided to take a walk
I took exactly 421 steps
That got me to a place
I cant even call a safe haven
Because when you are fighting with something
That is in your head
A brick wall is only there to fall

After sitting in the dark for 10 minutes
I switched on my light
hoping its blinding brightness will chase away
the darkness in me
For a few minutes  covered my ears
As the voices in my head screamed
HOW COULD YOU?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT US

It was after that statement
That I took out the courage
I had hidden under my bed
And unlocked the box that contained
My voice and I said
YOU ARE WRONG, I CANT LIVE
WITHOUT MEEEE!
they say if you keep looking for something
   You will eventually find it
But what if the missing person's report you filled
  Is against yourself?
I'm brave enough to fear, deaf enough to hear
blind enough to see, I'm a soul in ecstasy
I'm weak enough to fight, in the dark of light
crippled enough to stand, insane enough to understand
that I'm eternal enough to die, truth enough to lie
perpetual enough to end and straight enough to bend
I'm hard enough to bruise and triumphantly lose
I'm desperate enough to believe, happy enough to grieve
afloat enough to drown and smiled enough to frown
I'm treasured enough to be thrown,a dusk enough to dawn
a man enough to cry,I'm mindful enough to pry
I'm question enough to answer, goat enough to panther
I'm block enough to bridge, free enough to siege
I'm lone enough to clique, wake enough to sleep
love enough to hate, I'm free willed to fate
I'm chain enough to freedom, unknown for my stardom
pleasure enough for pain,I'm sunshine trapped in rain
I'm wrecked enough to intact and powerless enough to impact
probability enough to certain,I'm God enough to Satan
I'm peace enough to war,ignorant enough to know
less enough to more, I'm Yes enough to No
I'm stuffed enough to hunger, silence enough to thunder
obvious enough to wonder, I'm builder enough to plunder.
do you ever feel like a page in a novel sometimes?
Or do you feel like you are just a word in the long sentence of your life?
do you ever feel like the life you are living is a flashback?
Like what is happening already happened ,
And your future self is recalling the events.


so everytime something bad happens you imagine your future self laughing
so instead of crying, you laugh too...
"After all this has already happened before"
you tell yourself.
iam
I'm that heart you have decided to sell
to someone more suitable to look after it,
Since you have done a terrible job at keeping it intact,
But honey no one pays much for a badly patched product,
So I guess you'll always be unlucky when it comes to love.....
where lovers cry
where dreams die
where clouds are gone
And hearts are torn

I know a place
where eyes don't sleep
Neither do they blink
phones don't beep
And minds don't think

I know a place
Where roads don't meet
Shuffle don't feet
Flowers don't blossom
And life is for ransom

I know a place
where bitter is sweet
where tweeters don't tweet
where roosters don't crow
where nothing goes pro

I know a place
where it rains it don't shine
whence it rains rains wine
where people don't mind
that they search and don't find

I know a place
where war does thrive
and peace is but in shards
where dead are alive
and in silence speak words

I know a place
where all is wanting
everyone is chanting
even the dogs are panting
for there's no more hunting

I know a place
where lovers go to cry
were dreams go to die
where searchers don't find
where seers are the blind

I know a place
