Whose heart is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch her frown. I cry hello.

She gives her heart a shake,
And sobs until the tears make.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.

The heart is dull, empty and deep,
But she has promises to keep,
Until then, she shall not sleep.
She lies in bed with ducts that weep.

She rises from her bitter bed,
With thoughts of sadness in her head,
She idolizes being dead.
Facing the day with never ending dread.

Solaris dearest,
Are you awake
I feel like
I'm a mistake
I fear that
I cannot take
It anymore

Andrew, bruh
Are you still alive
You are?
K, well, so am I
My stars,
I can hear the knifes
They're calling my name

Matthew, hi
How's life treating you
Oh my,
The things we go through
Just lies
We wish they were
Wish we didn't feel hurt

this site is a library
often I want to shhhhh some of
your comments
whisper yell in the replies

“poets are reading”
reflecting
then writing
“ ˢʰʰʰʰʰ”
you must remain silent

Hi
It has been a long time since we've talked
Will we hang out again?
Used to hug each other every day
Then I stopped being a good friend
Sigh

Just closing eyes
My mind flowing
Through my thoughts
Wondering whether
My presence serves
for a purpose
or not
Just one thought can decide how your day will pass by....

Be yourself.
@niamornimo
How many times have you missed the point even if the cross exists,
Looked at your reflection
Pin pointing all the negatives
That pitch it all louder
Till you can't take it no more,
The wishes and not wish
Lives left at maybe If,
Crying  your broken self
To a ditch you never imagined
Would get you,
But there you are throwing
A pity party for yourself
Using all manner of staff
To escape,
Don't matter the duration
Just the littlest glimpse of
Peace and safety to breathe
And be yourself.
Yeah i know what will they
Say or think of me,
The books,movies and other
personal testimonies declared.
Question is when are you going to
Ask the intertwined rhetoric of;
Why not you? instead of Why me?
The power to bring it all to a halt
Lies within you...
Surf it out to the surface
And embrace it like a lost
Son back to his fathers arms*
Its true time can't be reversed,
I say it doesn't matter,
Start now, right here.
Heaven is in you.
You got this.

TELL IT OUT
@niamornimo
Its said you never know pain
Till you begged God to heal you
I promise its true
Scars are maps to history
Night after night
Cried my little self
To sleep even if its just some
Power nap but I could not
The figure of him on top of
Me in that pink shawl
Claiming am beautiful only to dart
On the beauty
As if not done my own
Blood found a toy
He could jump on
And feel good
I tried to tell her
I could not bring it all
To context coz I had
Zero idea on what was happening
Forced to grow I was
Took in all trash
Re-cycling into positivity
Was my cup of coffee
Reckless and carefree my attitude
As I ran out of ideas
bashing out the wails buried in the
sea of tears in my stomach
Like a church mouse stuck in the sanctuary
Series of sermons almost
Like rehearsed songs
Swept like wind over my face
Was all fallacy
The daily inner battle of
What come may
Circumnavigating back to point zero
I needed to let go
Deep down I know
There is a girl I need to find
Face her and revive her
Torments never stop
As we journey on
In search of a better tomorrow
Just belief of scars are beauty marks
my voice my story

Daughter
@niamornimo
Child a mans attention is not
A down payment for your loyalty
Until he has made his intentions
Verbally clear,
treat him like a hommie
He is nothing but a friend
And when he tells you that he likes you
Promised phone calls begins to play ghost
Expect an explanation
This time we will not let it go
When he tells you he's not into labels
Go ahead and tell his bluff
Advise him to go to his coach
And tell him he ain't in it
For championship is a title
Just like naive, stupid
And i ain't raising one of them
So tell him to put a label in it
Or he can keep it,
I didn't go through the goals of
Getting children just
For the fun of it
So yeah you maybe the little
Girl who's gat to get permission
From her father for them
To get a glimpse of your beautiful soul
What kind of a mother will i be
Raising a woman who's soul
Has scars like mine
So get your Ex and have him come back
And have him explain to me
Why my daughter's heart is bleeding
Flooding my bedroom floor
I know that probably its not all
His fault
And it takes two to break a heart
But miss me on that women do it too
So you can write that poem
Coz this one is for my never be daughter
For i feel her heart grow
More and more faint
For some child of God who's playing
Freestyle with my affections!
This is not about closure
This is about accountability
Your relationship is not for
Lost and found for him
To find his intentions with you
So when he tells you He isn't ready
Ask him how much time did
Spend knees bent before
The father before getting lost at your door
So when your friends wake up to morning kisses
Meet them on highways and smile
Your value is non negotiable.
Before i pick you in pieces
Better ask that son
If his mother never taught him to return
To the sender better than found.

#End of brokenness #Commit if ready to be responsible
i'll be a good mom someday

THE ROOT CAUSE
@niamornimo
Like country bumpkins
Chased down every dream
We had

Choices,
In the chilly mornings
Trotting down the dew
Blinded by mist
We knew where we were going.
Through turn of events
Brushed shoulders
Got under each others skin
But stuck together
Binded by DNA
Had the choice leaving
Instead stayed
Tucked together in hugs
Warm for consolation
A better tomorrow.
Couldn’t stop the river
Of tears cascading
Our mellow yellow chic’s;
Reflects the inside unfolding.
They say it wasn’t hard
Coz it wasn’t physical
Well I wish it really was.
Maybe my explanation would
Be sensei but
No it feels nuts crying
Over mere memories
That ***** our skin
To reality then maybe
Dream on.
The everyday fight
Burning within like wax
Melting down our bellies
Making scars like maps
A lineage of scarcity as
We burn out keeping it in.
As a plant grows
From a seed so do we
The root of our pain
Channelled to generations
Through and through
Lets joke about it
I know its sick.
I long for a solution
Where the fingers that
Keep up the gear
Playing blame shift
Would take a turn
Seeking within
And start by * *
me
Things will someday change.
