it was summer when i met you.

the sun glistened off your teeth and your smile was magnetic, your hair sat perfectly around your face, your eyes were the brightest blue i’ve ever seen and when you spoke to me, i could barely breathe and my heart would pound a million miles a minute, i can’t stop smiling.

a year later and i was calling you mine, your hair is getting very long now and your eyes are still bright, you smile less now, but it’s still magnetic and when you spoke to me, i could still barely breathe and my heart was still pouding a million miles a minute, i can’t stop smiling.

it’s been two summers since i met you, your pull your hair back now, i wouldn’t know if your eyes are brght anymore because you won’t look at me, sometimes i catch a glimpse of your smile but it’s not for me, you don’t speak to me anymore, i no longer call you mine and i cannot breathe, my heart is pounding a million miles a minute and i can’t stop crying.

each person is different,
we are not the same,
just like:purple and blue,
we are different somehow,
apperince,feelings,expressions, etc.
but we are bright doing what we like!!!
just like blue is NOT bright on dog,
but is very bright on the sky.....
you are good on something
and i am on something else.
dont let people get you down,
you are what you are and
you are how you are,be yourself
not what people want you to be!!!
live comment and fallow!!!!!
Her Story

She was just a Village girl,
Forever counting the countless stars
in the hopes that her golden dream would shine
just as brght

But all my reality showed her
was a
Dull
Damp
And Diminishing hope
for any change,

See, She was just a Village girl,
Dreaming loud and proud of her
Golden Husband

But all reality showed her
was
Sipho next door
sipping on some smooth
Milk

so, She ran.
Passing surprised, suppressed
faces
until She reached the city of GOLD.

And for a change reality showed her something
GOLDEN.

She assumed too soon,
see, her  Golden tiled floors
were dark  tarred roads

Her Golden roof
was a CBD Bridge

Her Golden painted walls
were graffiti  painted pillars

Her golden husband
Who was more dust than gold,

Picked her from the gravel,
Told her that she radiated beauty
that her chocolate skin  put him in a constant chocolate high,

But soon that was all gone,
See, she was changing

Her skin went from purple to black even blue too
Her body di'composed
Each muscle swelling, aching, bruising
Her
golden husband
who was more dust than gold
turned into  a brutal
being. Beating...Beating...her.


So she ran.
passing surprised suppressed faces until she returned  home.

Little flame,
Flickering bright.
Trapped in your birdcage shaped prison,
Beating against the bars,
Trying to be free.

Needing to blaze brght,
Dreaming of fighting,
Flitting in place,
Burning in,
Fading out.

Your captors try to contain you,
Burn you out and train you,
But you have a strength they can't take away,
A hope,
A desire,
The dream that you will one day fly.

Burn through your bars,
Blaze bright,
Fly away.
