I feel like I’m in the eye of the storm,
Im so calm yet chaos surrounds me,
What do I do,
Do I try or do I give up,
Cause sometimes when it comes to expectations you can never live up,
Ive never been insecure,
You bring my greatest fears to life,
To think I wanted you to be my wife,
I want to trust you but you make it so hard,
I want to love you but would it be best for me to love you from a far ?
You left a permanent scar on my heart,
You know the same one that you ripped apart,
And now you want to try ? Why ?
Sometimes I think you get enjoyment when I cry,
Thing is if I was with someone else I would be treated better,
Im tired of putting aside my pride,
I just wish you’d just play my side,
I really hope this doesn’t end up in a fight,
Because all I want is for you to act right.

Don't tell me the dragon's been vanquished,
surely he has more fight in him!
I would have guessed
he'd shoot me another riddle,
make me run in circles
wondering who would die first;
I would have thought that
I'd spend my whole life
with a sword in hand,
chasing after him.

Is it true?
Has he fallen off his plateau, his crevice
crumbled before him?
That brute lizard finally gave up?

What's left behind him,
I'd try to see and delve into his caves
searching for clues if I believed it,
but something makes me think that
just because he's dead to me,
doesn't mean he's been vanquished.

Don't tell me the dragon's been vanquished,
it's surely not that easy!
I had thought that maybe,
he wouldn't give up his bed of lies,
tossing and turning,
his chest bellowing with flames and smoke,
I expected a temper tantrum or
roaring deceit, screaming acid and blood,
and I imagined my sword
falling to his feet.
I can't believe this **** is official over
you know, I thought it'd never end, and truly
I'm scared that could still be true

I find myself
Enamored, with your vestige.
Standing in front of me no longer,
Is a girl i once knew,
with who she was to me,
Erased,
As though nothing more than a sketch
Had graced my eyes.
Next time,
I will ground myself,
With marker.

The wind tries to control our ribbons.
They blow across the dirt,
Not quite light enough to be lifted,
And they crawl at our feet,
Whispering of our potential
Trying to break our defenses
With their mouthless words.
The ribbons want to tie us together
In a pretty bow, on top of a big,
Materialistic present,
But we are only as vulnerable
As the expensive electronic inside.

Sometimes they don’t make a bow,
But weave around our ankles
And up our thighs,
Pressing our hips together,
A group hug of sorts.
We no longer know how to fight,
But we do the closer we get,
And we can’t decide whose
Fault this is.

We can blame metaphors or love,
But either way, we are just too
Knotted together,

Our only weapons blunt scissors.
We try to tear ourselves away
Whilst making out.
How many of us are there?
It’s hard for me to tell--
I push one away and begin kissing another,
But they are all just friends--
Or friendly acquaintances?

Maybe it’s just me the ribbons have *******
And everyone else just happened to be there
When they did.

Teach your children love
And the importance of affection
Show them what love looks like
In your words and kindness
Tell them that they are always deserving of love

If you fight in front of them
Show them that that is not all
Show them there is love behind every door slam and every walk out
When you are crying by yourself
Show them that you can cry together
That even when you are not loved, you are not alone
When you give up on each other
Remember to teach them to not give up on themselves
When you decide to leave
At least pretend
Show them that your love for them is too strong to break a family

Because when you don't teach your children that there is love in everything you do
They will grow up expecting hate from the ones they love
They will grow up in the comfort of loneliness
And they will grow up dreaming of a family
Because they never knew they had one
we are all born out of love, and some of us need to be reminded of that

Certain themes sadly, keep repeating themselves, or in the case of youth behaviour, worsen !
So, a few cautionary words on, not letting this trait worsen in the generations to come ...........

What happened to the rainbow people.
Corruption planted itself in government and grew higher than the Real yellowwood
Striking and burning necessities is our new flag
Strangers with the right to be here are Ashes
Strangers with plans are supported for their abundance of drugs
Hospitals are important; said the tavern
Burn it down; said the proud people
The elders should be respected; said our parents
**** and record; said the killers
Let's go viral.
Police will always help you is taught by schools
Only help after 3 hours replied Police academies
School is an endangered topic
Youth falling victims at the hands of the very people who are supposed to care for them
Children hurting teachers
Teachers hurting kids
Welcome to a journey of wonderful education that is years behind on information
You learn to **** or cheer the killers
Depending on moods
We show our competitors that we weak
We can’t stand together when we need
We frown at fleeing springboks
We smile as we step on our Protea
So much has changed
The rap game is to shame others
The new songs can't be related songs
Only hyped up words of courage in ***, an *** is an ***
Country getting touched by a man spinning in front of cops as kids get beaten and murdered right under their nose
Criminals are charged after a year
Murders have learned about bail
Justice is an old topic
Fathers being cheered for young girls
Mothers hunting for fresh boys
Cheer on, cheer on.
Who you are is not accepted unless you funny
Your gender is a disgrace unless is trending
You have no voice unless America says it first
Geniuses lie amongst us
Bullied to not think
Every day someone is shot.
Gun and Camera
A country filled with videographers and darkness. Eskom
How to record in darkness is what we do best. Our Motto
Everything is funny until it happens to us. Our reality
I wish for the world to learn.
