Weep no more my child
I can see your eyes worn out with wailing
Your heart bursting with argony
And an exhaustion of hopelessness dwelling upon you

Weep no more my child
For I knew upon my death
You would be shattered within
Floating in a river of unanswered questions
Crashed by waves of regret and sorrow
Looking for a way to make it all stop
Perhaps hope to wake up
And realize it was just another dreadful nightmare

Weep no more my child
There is nothing more you could have done
To stop the jaws of death
From claiming my life
For my time had come
But I depart with overwhelming joy and satisfaction
Knowing you were there up to the very end

Weep no more my child
For I made sure you could stand on your own
Am confident the strong person I've groomed you to be
Can face the tides and storms of this world
And the morals I've instilled in you
Will see you through all things

Weep no more my child
For you're not abondoned
Even though they now consider you an orphan
For through your character and every aspect of your life
Am visible to those who can't see me
And within your heart
I'll forever live
What a beautiful place to stay!

Weep no more my child
In you am alive
I feel my blood running through your veins
My strength radiant in your muscles
I see my courage in everything you do
And in your reflection I see myself

So weep no more my child
For am still here within your own self.

Blank
That's what it looked like
But alot in mind.
The beginning was hard to find
Neither could I guarantee it's end
For a series of pieces
Lay scattered all over the place.
Speechless I should say
Yet at the tip of my tongue
I wanted to let it all out
For it flooded in my head.
Confused in my own thoughts
Yet I wanted to give it a meaning.
Curious to know what it is
Yet even it's owner remains lost
At the twist of its peddles.

Fallen apart into ruins
Broken into pieces
Far from the twilight of technology
Buried by the doom cast upon it.

Mist of dust is the air we breathe
Littering of ******* sweep across the streets
Filled with crowds of people
Each chasing their own path to make a living.

In their mist i see wretched hands extended
For a Samaritan to save their weathering bodies
From the hunger that claims their lives.
I watch passersby ignore their presence
Perhaps lost in their own world fighting their own demons.

Accumulated wealth in the hands of a few
The ruthless dictators
Who have stripped this country of everything.

Cries of the poor and helpless vanish
Like a thread of smoke in air
For onto deaf ears it lands.

It's like the forgotten city
Left at the mercy of the reigning demons they serve
No one dreams of its redemption
Perhaps in the hearts of a few
For hope forsake those who persevered
And faith flee from those who tried to hold on.

With nothing to hope for
Days come and go like they never existed
People live and die like ashes blown by wind
Injustices became a norm.

Corruption is a permanent resident
Rooming freely and no one cares to mind.
Epidemics sweep across the land snatching lives of many
For they face no resistance.

It's the way of life
A common phrase used by those
Who try to name the devastating reality.

Beneath all the happiness and glamour it lays
Quiet as if its presence has vanished
But as strong as before
Waiting for the right time to strike

Covered by numerous layers of time
But still significant
Weighing heavily as then
With difficulty I contain it within
But afraid of its inevitable eruption

I allow to be carried away by the present
Let the past be blown by the winds
But remain reminded that
Beneath the daily routines and trends of life
It silently remain present.

Down this road I walk
Without knowledge of what
The future has in store for me
But eagerly looking forward to tomorrow

Down this road I walk
With big dreams and hopes
Of what yet to come
Leaving the past behind me

Down this road I walk
To remain within the present
For yesterday chases me
Like a shadow

I rush out to the future
But it's out of reach
So I keep on chasing after it
Down this road.

I made the choice to live
I made it for me
Despite all the odds against it
I chose to pull out
From the system of common routine
And decided to find my way
So afraid to take that step
So afraid to divert from the norms of living
But knowing if I blended in
I would lose who I was
Someone unrecognizable to myself
But familiar to everyone
I searched deep within
And saw a lie I would live
A lie that everyone else would embrace
For it merged with the customs of life
But a betrayal of thyself.
Heavily it weighed on me
For every moment its mask
Engulfed my personality
It suffocated the person I was
And I could feel the agony of my true self
So with all mighty and strength
I tore the mask apart
And allowed the world
to see me for who I was
Faced with gasps of shock and disbelief
It mattered less
For the true me happily thrived.

You looked but never saw
She was always there
But seemed invisible
She did a lot
But you hardly noticed any
She executed the commands
At your wishes requests
And never questioned your actions
She silently and calmly obeyed
And buried her face in your presence
She bent so low
And never requested for anything in return
But rather fulfilled the commands at hand
She was loyal, obedient and hardworking
She was not a slave
But the definition suited her
For she carried the burden of
Your ungratefulness and selfishness all the way
It's now too late to take it all back
For she peacefully rests in her grave.
