The Challenge (Day 18) What is it you stand to gain? Playing with hearts like cards, is this a game? This isn’t poker, this isn’t snooker, why you playing with these hearts as if you’re playing soccer? This pain my heart can no longer nest Can’t believe I was a pawn in this game of chess How did I get caught up in this mess Believing you were pure good nothing else Alas you are evil with the “d” I would belittle your cruelty if I called you anything less Who takes a breastfeeding child from its mother only to dump it in a slum with no one to cater to? Who cuts open a stitched laceration only to watch it rot so a limb gets amputated. When did love become so merciless and unkind? When has God ever played games with His likeness, their minds? Why say I do before a crowd of witnesses only to act like you don’t behind closed doors? Why promise forever when life with you makes a visit from death better? Why pretend you’re gentle a dove, when you’re a vulture, all claws? Why wear a robe of integrity when the skin underneath is only known for breaking the law? What’s the prize? Why do all these hearts have to pay the price? Are you ever going to end this cycle Is this going to be an endless vicious circle? r3d #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

I've failed you once again I really am that wild one that can't be tamed It's not you this time, I'm to blame The picture of my dreams are too humongous to fit your frame Your excuses have long become lame I've found a shelter, a hedge from your cruel reign There will be a draught from your abuses that never cease to rain Your insanity got me wondering if I ever was sane You and I cease to be, nothing will ever be the same This time I choose me, I have trained hard enough to beat you at your drain-game I am the grand prize, I, will I claim Never again with your toxic love will I remain I'd aim to fail you again This time with showers of love I'd pour on myself to burn out your toxic flames I"d fail you once and for all, rather than fail myself Never again! What's there to lose when all i stand to do is gain? I've picked me off of your shelf This time I'm doing me, stop looking for flaws in everyone else Find you again, do it for yourself r3d #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

The Challenge (Day 17) The villain was once a victim The abuser once was the abused The bully once was bullied The hunter was once a prey These are the ones who neither possessed the will power nor the required support to fight the negative effects of their experiences These are the ones whose voices were drowned by the screams of stigma These are the souls left to sail away in the rivers of anger and hate. Who is to blame? Society? Environment? Religion? Tradition? Ignorance? How do we break this cycle? How do we end this vicious circle? The villian, the victim must all be helped. No one should be left out, all deserve to be helped. r3d #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

The Challenge (Day 19) “RITJIMWA: Something good/beautiful, joy has come to them!“ Something eccentric, something whose drama might be considered Oscar worthy, something unbelievably beautiful, something awesome, something amazing... for everyone reading this, you've got to be atleast one of this to someone, you've got to mean more than all these words to a couple of people.to say the least. So next time someone tries to be condescending or silly, look them square in the face, and then smile and walk away with your head high knowing you're beautiful! And you owe no one an explanation cause your smile has done enough already. Remember, sometimes you'd forget but try to remember as often as you can that no one else in the world can offer the uniqueness you've got! #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

The Challenge (Day 21) Words! The reason I ended up in this ward. Words! The reason I threw away my self worth. Words! In whom I hope to find the strength to break free Words! The reason I must flee Words! In the beginning was the Word When I was created I was made of God, I was with God. A ward of God until I lost my way With my reckless abandon and the things I failed to do or say I made a cocktail of truth laced with lies to top the mix Believing my deceit was made up with just enough wit With which I could make a deft bargain With the devil, He said riches and wealth were mine to gain I took the bargain. Thinking I was smart enough to beat him at his game Swift enough to cross the finish line without her burning gaze realizing I had switched lanes I was rewarded with shame The excruciating pain Oh how this became the death of me! Words! Rit! My word! Not the writ of law This Rit must be an exception to the writ of law Words! STOP! The word that might've saved me from this castle walls. The ward I war to break free from Oh! If only I had listened Listen! Whenever I was asked to be Silent.. These anagrams! Silent a cause, Listen the effect I never knew cause the only thing my eyes fed off were the sights my eyes heard on Instagram. I had taken enough hits I was deemed unfit But the comments all read "lit" No one calls me dope anymore in this ward You dare not say that Word in here, lest you end up in ropes 280 characters are one to many to say "I quit" Words sentenced me to this ward Words showed me no mercy Words made me By words, my death I'd meet r3d roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

The Challenge (Day 16) I'm hungry! Famished! Starving and I don't wanna be satisfied. I wanna always hunger for more Yearn for more Strive for more Be more Love some more Forgive some more Learn some more. I hunger for more confidence For prudence For divine guidance To lean on you alone. I hunger to keep running after you To bring to life that vision you gave to me To inspire another To try again To breath again To be great And to in turn inspire another I hunger to stand tall To rise to higher heights after every fall To look beyond the prison of my mind and to break down its walls Walls of fear Of pride, of anger, of hate And to never get sated till this hunger becomes the death of me.. r3d #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

The Challenge (Day 12) When you pour the liquid content of a 35cl soda into a 50cl bottle it will never fill it up If you pour it into a 15cl bottle it will fill it up and overflow. Same thing with when you pour your love, energies, vibes or share your space, sanctuary and essence with the wrong people. You’d either end up being too much or never enough. If this is the case with you please find a way to detach yourself from this person before the damage becomes irreparable. No matter how much you give someone who doesn’t value you or holds you in contempt it will never be enough. Save yourself before you start to second guess your worth and shatter your esteem. The only way to help a toxic person is not to shield such a person but be firm and ensure the person seeks the help ***** needs. This is a show of love. Love will always want you to be the best and have the best you can get and not let you plunge into troubled waters while it watches you drown without lending a helping hand. We cannot give what we don’t have which is why we must always check ourselves and be accountable for and to ourselves before daring to do same for others. May the week ahead bring us all peace and fulfilment. Salaam! r3d 12:35 #museyilnen #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d

You left before we could even begin, A lig ht that shone bright but burnt out too fast leaving me behind in the dark Ending the thought of a beginning, Losing a war I thought I was winning. a beginning whose end was no where in sight With the words goodbye I knew we had lost our last chance to try Try to start Before we part You left and you left behind meaning Meaning than hurts while it's healing Healing old wounds and piercing through the vessel that blood pumps with a sniper's accuracy making its kills fast and painless It must have been the way my being your eyes caressed As your lips took mine in a communion of the unworthy but blessid Watching you walk away With the words our eyes held but our lips would dare not say I knew you weren't going stray Cause soon again, in your arms my head will find a place till my hairs turn gray.. r3d 16205 #museyilnen #yararewa #northernstar #roadtorecovery #everythingipretendtobe #realrawandsimple #welearnasweteach #writingright #firesofr3d
