Simply Carla Dec 2013
I've been in a love a time or another, I have sisters & brothers, a father & a mother.
I've called disguised enemies bestfriends & believed they cared for me.
I've been in every situation regarding the complexities of a human relationship, & its dreadful rollercoaster of emotional intoxications.
I've had my highs & I've gotten beat down by the blows life rained on me.
I've let disappointments & betrayals plague me & depress me.
I've kept a closed mouth through the majority of my mistreatments, passive & submissive to all the things that have marred me.
I have my own testimonial story, & I'm strong enough today to keep it from destroying me.
The me I am today, can say " I understand the difference between speaking up to save my soul, & keeping quit to keep the pain inside.
The difference in walking away for the better & clinging to the wishful hope that it will get better.
The strength to keep quiet when necessary & speak loud & proudly for in the things I believe. "
In ever intricate situation I have risen.
My strength, not to be mistaken or underestimated.
I am a savior, & I will continue to do so.
No soul on earth would like to see me happy, in the way the soul I harbour inside myself does.
My trials & tribulations, are the best part of me.
Keep me or leave, I will always be me.

I shed tears of ink
For the voiceless.
I am the only link
To the hopeless.

For the poor I scribble
In love and solidarity,
to highlight the struggle
and do an anthem of poverty.

For the poor and marginalized,
I speak power to the validity,
I bring awareness for those victimized
to quench the thirst of brutality.

I can flow like a mighty fountain
In the face of mistreatments.
I crawl valleys and climb a mountain
In times of impediments.

I can leak useful information
In the cause of injustice.
I can write a memo for a demonstration
On behalf of disgruntled masses.

I am the defibrillator of broken hearts
and the hope of the downtrodden.
I can write love poems and draw arts
Just to motivate and embolden.

I have signed many peace treaties,
and declarations of independence.
I have been used to get properties
And I have been used for vengeance.

I am the weapon of choice for intellectuals
and the shield of protection against violence.
I am the stamp of instant rebuttals
and the glitch of terrestrial intelligence.

The pen is everything..
I tried to walk slowly.
careful not to shake your ground,
careful not wake you up,
careful not to make a sound.

No matter how light my footsteps were,
No matter how soft I tried to exhale,
you still found a way to make me eat my words,
you made me think I'm toxic and insane.

But now you said you cant be with me,
I'm not worth fighting for,
looking back I wished I stood my ground,
when you said Creed is better than Faith no More.

You said you dont want arguments,
arguments that you like to bake from scratch,
the main ingredient: your unfair judgments,
on the way I talk, walk , breathe and act.

You know your way with words,
your tone so cool and calm,
If only I'm deaf I'd think you weren't a ****,
until I heard you want me gone.

Your words pierce like a blunt knife,
painfully tearing through every flesh of my dignity,
I am certain you weren't the person I loved,
'cause he said we'll be together for eternity.

Now that it's all over,
I know you wont even realize I'm gone,
You said it won't make a difference to you
if we end this now and be done.

I will continuously fuel my anger,
making sure I have enough embers of your mistreatments inside.
I'll  burn and stop your memories from poisoning me,
from flooding my soul , my heart, my mind.

To whom Shall I complain?
About the agonies,
my entire being flooded by,
About the disappointments,
life has shocked me by,
About those I wished to stay,
But who eventually said Goodbye,
and turned out all to be only pssersby.
To whom shall I complain?
I've exposed my being to the rain
To wash away all the acheing thoughts,
which are crossing my brain,
To wash all worries in every vein.
To the moon,
To the stars,
To the sun,
I complained about all that pain.
To heavens,
To the whole universe,
I did complain
To rescue me,
To save me from the rage,
But every time,
It was in vain.
To whom shall I complain?
About the scars,
And the grazes
Of the abandonments,
About the wounds,
Scratches
Of life's mistreatments,
About all the torments.
To whom shall I complain?
About all the dreams,
which turned to be impossible,
Which turns all things to be horrible,
About all my wishes,
which became unreachable,
About all that is untameable.
To whom shall I complain?
About the loss of the smile,
which I strove to make mine,
But which left without worrying
Whether I would be fine,
Whether I'd be able to rise and shine.
To whom Shall I complain?
About the farness of luck,
About the need for all that I lack,
About the tortures that rack,
And that burden my back.
To whom Shall I complain?
About the talkativeness,
which inhabits my body,
About the exhaustiveness,  
which rules my soul,
And which drives me so insane
That I behave like a fool,
Which paralysed me,
Blocked me,
Crashed me,
Then, to the ground,
It dropped me,
like a tool,
Motionless,
Powerless,
And worst of all,
Lifeless...

*** and got,
Two examples of naught,
Silent mistreatments around the world,
Holding confusion at heart,
With twists, trifling lists decay,
I slowly find my way,

Outside the base,
Outside the mind,

For the right reasons,
I slowly define,

Girth, gotten,
Pain beneath,
The selective,
Mindless ego

I hope when hope is gone
The WORLD will anew shine
With goodness and divineness    
With calmness and kindness
With grace and new hope

I hope in her humanity
That it will close its eyes
And dream, sweet dreams of hope
As it floats in fond fingers of peace
Buoy free in humble hands of true love
Sail carefree in lucky legs of sincerity and divinity

I hope in you new generations
You her newest creations
That down in your sleeps
You will sweet dream
The sweet dreams of love
The sweet dreams of serenity
The sweet dreams of peace
The sweet dreams of newness

I hope in raising you a better world
A world of equity and fairness
A world full of passion and compassion
A world of association and integration
A world so true and sincere
A world all to endear and adhere
A world of charity and generosity
A world of growth and prosperity
A world for one and for all!

And even when gone we may be
Let us stand counted pure pioneers
Of a new world, a new world of inclusion
A world of single race and religion
Humanity, Humility, Hospitality!

A world we will look and all fall in love with
A world we will meet and together worship
A world we will sit and together dine
A world we will be without sinister and gamester  
A world for you and for me and for the entire generations

I hope, I hope in this world, in this newness
Even in my abyss of sorrows and torments
I hope for a world for you and for me and for the entire universe
A planet for your race and my race and the whole human race
A place for the poor and for the rich and for all the societal social class
A gentle space for all our revered interactions, interrelations and integrations
A world we all are free of thoughts, plots and sorts

I hope………..I hope for you………….I hope for you-This World!
When the universe will be one and whole!
When we will reach out for each other with hope and love
We will care for each other with sheer genuineness!
We will watch over each other with esteemed carefulness
We will treat each other with friendly fairness
We will sincerely watch out for any of her mistreatments  
We will hold and embrace true, without reservations and conditions-out of true love!

When we will touch and true feel
We will kiss and in deed feel down to the spine the chill  
We will taste and same spell smell
We will embrace and ever emotionally attach
We will hold and eternal bonds mould
We will share and big build a brotherly chord
A world as no other world, a world all and long intended!

Hope, a world of hope for all of us!
A world we will be beautiful flowers of the earth
And sweet scents of the universe!
A world we will be salt of the earth and light of the world!
A world we are the taste and the goodness of the earth!
A world we are the art and heart of the earth!

Make my mind a temple of thoughts
To account for the lack of time I have lost
If only time could be bought
But that would be a never-ending cost

Make my body free and clean
To account for all of my mistreatments
Wipe away all that is bad, leaving me keen
Keen on all my resentments

**** my spirit for the sins I have committed
The lies and persecution of my own
When judging, don't leave anything omitted
Let everything be known

Make me a man of wisdom
Let me learn when to stop
So that one day I'll make it to the Kingdom
For I too should have ripe crops

Allow me to live as you see fit
Guide me in my times of trouble
So that I may never quit
For you have pulled me from the rubble

— The End —
