They love you more than they love themselves
They only want what's best for you
They treat you with respect
But toughen you when it's required to
They stress you not because they're punishing you
But because they're worried about you
They sometimes spoil you
Because they love to see you smile
They feed you a meal x3 a day
And buy you your favorite chocolate milk
Which makes you happy to hangout with them
Instead of being with your friends playing video games

But now things changed

You're all grown up
Fussing and screaming all day
Because you don't want to do your homework
You want to play outside with your mates
The moment you walkout from the front door of your home
You're invisible and uncontrollable
With no curfew. You're always late

But things have changed

All of a sudden you're an old man
With a wife, 3 kids and a dog
It's all heavy on your shoulders
Lifting all the weight
Struggling with your work
And then coming back home
To your wife and 3 kids
But it isn't all that great
Cause they constantly cause problems
And dont appreciate your sweat
And that's when you remember
All the days you spent
Being arrogant, selfish and stubborn to your parents
How you raised their heart rate
And raised your voice on them to the highest level
As if you were special
And now you ask yourself "how didn't I notice?"
You were too blind to see
Too cold to feel and
Too deaf to hear
All the struggle your parents went through

But things are now stable

*Wasn't it all worth the wait.
I know that I went out of rhythm in this one but it's all to express emotion! There is no greater gift than for a person than to have such loving parents, step parents or even grandparents. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing this. :)
If you had an hour to live..
Would you spend that hour saying that an hour isn't enough.
Makes you think.. What would you do?
I feel lonely
So very lonely
but everyone is lonely
So i know i'm **not alone
The beauty of a woman
is in the poems she's wrote,
the dreams she's weaved
and all the stories she's told.

The beauty of a woman
is in the adventures she's taken,
the lives she's touched
and all the minds she's awakened.

The beauty of a woman
is in the caring she gives,
the sincerity in her laughter,
and the passion in her griefs.

It's not the expensive clothes she owns,
her body size, the diamonds she's worn.
Measure not the beauty of woman in gold,
for the beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.
Dedicated to all women out there with an amazing mind and a beautiful soul. We are the gift of nature, soft enough to touch the core of others and strong enough to protect that and those important to us. I love you all. Believe in yourself and the world will believe in your power.

I'm honored to have it as the daily poem.
We're all born in this river without knowing how to swim*
And eventually we learn how to keep the water under our chins

*Micheal Larsen a.k.a Eyedea
When I'm weary
And I fall
She catches me

When I have a bad day
She helps me forget

When I'm cold
She makes me warm and cosy
Inside of her

A never ending love between my bed and **I
Shall I say hello or shall that be a lie.
I cry tears without saying goodbye.
I try to realize my life is on a cliff.
But I keep thinking.
If I jump over will I be a myth.
I smoke crack like it's my only option.
I often think, is my life corrupted.
I ****** it.
It's an ordinary teenage life.
With a taste of some horror.
That is my life.
I love you and i hate you at the same time
I'll never leave you forever, no matter ever, whatever but however
I'll be soft like a feather
For good or worse
Like friends since birth
Well that's worth when all your life turns  
Like saving planet earth
I want to leave you think about all the things i said
I want to kiss you, hug you and even make love to you in bed

I don't want to just be another friend
Just because you're dating that ****** called Ted
Don't you remember the first time we met
I was outside of your house playing football with my friends
You came by and Since then i couldn't keep my eyes off you
I even got struck in the face by the ball because of you
But you were the one
So nothing stopped me from getting to you

We were both bullied at school because we weren't cool
And i was weak and fragile so i couldn't stop it from happening
But one time i intervened and made a fool out of myself
Got the **** beaten out of me
But atleast i fought for our honour
But thinking of it all just doesn't matter anymore
Because you were so afraid of what people say
That you covered yourself with anguish and pain
I tried and tried to embrace and caress you
but you kept pushing me away and away

"Where was Ted when you were alone and blue?" i asked her

She said "Our love was make believe"

"Then why can't you come back to me?"

"I.. I.. I  SIMPLY  CAN'T!!"  

But how could you be so heartless
I loved you the most
You were like my best friend from 6th grade
Look at all the things i've made
In the end, i wish you were ...
No you say the ending
Cause i got fed up
With this little love story
Like Romeo and juliet
I sit, procrastinate and wonder
How my country became sundered.
I'm referring in this to my country Sudan which used to be one country until July 9th 2011 when both the North and South separated and each became an independent country cause of civil wars of political and peace conflicts which were going on for 30 years. It just saddens me to see how divided and messed up we are.
