The Vault Mar 2019
My young arms held around him tight.  
I couldn't say what was wrong.  
I was raised that being weak was stupid and to always be strong.  
So I held him tight.  
Wanting to cry but not going too.  
All the issues going on.  
Sometimes I wish I could bury myself.  
But there in his arms I felt safe.  
Like my mother's arms before old age came and took away her mind to never land.  
I hadn't felt this way in a long time.  
Secure
Wanted
I held him tight.  
He didn't say anything.  Just stayed with me.  
And with that.  
I let out my first tear in years.

Lord, i have been through alot
I was not worthy of your love
But you called upon me
To praise and glorify your name

I am not worthy for I have sinned
I have done things that are against your will
But Lord i am grateful that you still let me find in my heart that there is room for forgiveness
That i am your beloved child and you are always there to protect me.

I am not worthy  oh Lord...
But you still blessed me with everything i need to continue living...

I am not worthy
But you gave me my kids who are the source of my sanity, my everything...
Lord God, you are the greatest...
When i am about to give up on love..
You gave me someone who made me believe thatlove, still, is the grweatest gift to mankind... that love is still there... that i can still feel happiness and heartaches...
But God I trust the process you set..
I believe you are still the master planner of our lives..
You know what we need and we dont.

Thank you Lord God for everything...
For my life...
For my kids...
For my family...
For my special someone...
For my friends..
For my job..
For everything that i have...

I surrender everything to you oh Lord!
You are our greatest saviour....
God is the greatest...

you told me  to sing
cause its what  i love
you told me to write
cause i love the tale
you told me to dance
to our un-choreography move
you told me to draw
cause i love to scratch
you told me to play
cause i just love the game
you told me to dress
because i love to show
you told me to smile
cause it just makes me shine
you told me to trust
cause you say you won't break it for sure
you told me to love
cause i deserve it all
you ask me to be yours
are you even sure?
and if its a yes
then is a yes.
to girl that can always make me feel like everything

i'd rather lose you
knowing i loved
you wholeheartedly
than have loved you
with one foot out the
door

I believe in life after love
The feeling of joy in everything I see
The smile on my lips that only I could put
The feeling of the sun on my skin
The smell of a rainy day without mood swings
That strength of coming to life
Of feeling your heart heal again
And knowing that it will beat one day
But for now it only beats for you
The feeling of walking around town
With a genuine smile
And no sadness of seeing where we first met
The joy of seeing couples so in love and entranced
Knowing one day, someday that will be me again
Full of life, joy and love
All because I lived after it was all taken away
For with loving me, I will never accept less
In a way I’m glad you broke my heart before
Because of the great pain an even greater lesson I learnt
That love is never love if you don’t love you first
And now self love repairs my heart slowly and steadily each day
And it is a wonderful feeling I cant explain how wonderful,
And I believe in life after love
Because I lived before your love came
And I will also live without it
Because I have me, something you’ll never have again
- Jojo.poetry.
even when it feels like its the end if you let yourself live you will realize life isn't
bad its just some people who are

Touch me forever
Or never at all
Your cowardly acts
Drive me insane
As a stab in my love
Growing with pain
Thorns everywhere
With my trust on the line
Does your heart yearn for love
Or is it just mine?

our foreheads are battered with the symphony
corrupted by theory and gauze
your lips are sweet
but mine are sweeter
let me see you to sing consolidation
let me see you at all again
wellness cannot be spoken
though my expression heed no desire
to lure you into my hold
to cradle your head in my breast
dizzied and dazed
remember me there
find me in the warm night
such kindly temperament out of reach
reach for me when your bed becomes cold
when you yourself become cold
mustn't you fear me among the others
I long to lend you my hand
There are times when I can feel
come to me
speak to me

Do not try to count the stars,
Or measure the distance between now and when;
Leave room for the unknown.
‘For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.’
- Vincent Van Gogh

when do street lights
in ghost towns decide to flicker
until it recognizes its lack of purpose?
glistening gallows
bountiful burlesque
a kind of love that grabs the hand
that looks the most familiar
on days when the sun
glistens on skin that isn’t
patched against yours.
profanity becomes a prisoner
in your rib cage.
decaying but alive,
like ghosts that draw breath.
blindly fumbling
hungry greedy mouth
with eager needy hands
a strange audacity—
a smirk on the corner of your lips
veiling the corruption
between your teeth
i’ve made a habit of making my
tongue bleed
but that’s never going to come close
to the blood drawn
from your grenade-ricochets.
detonate my pulse
in all the ways you had ever
intended.
punic faith.
lungs brimming with fib.
stern and destructive.

how would one know
what to do with all this hurt?
