Hi mum,
You raised me well, all the bad about me is all on me
I lost my way along the journey; how do I turn back?
My desire to live a perfect life made me force things that didn't fit
...
The sad reality is;
You were at war with yourself
I became collateral
I wanted you to heal
...
It's something amazing and worth having
Finding each other was providential
The growth of our love is exponential
She makes my reality outshine my dreams
...
You told me it was impossible, you defined your limits
I achieved greatness, I guess I defied mine
You said it was over, you saw the redline
I kept on going, thank God I'm colour blind
...
You needed a saviour
I loved being needed
Some things I wish we knew earlier
Look at the mess we've created
...
There is beauty in making mistakes
Then again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
There is beauty beyond the pain
How sensitive are your pain receptors?
...
Baby girl, you're busy doubting your every move
Yet every step you take, gets recorded on a Richter scale
There is more to you than meets the eye
Get yourself out there, there's no need to hide
...
You reached out your hand but they folded theirs
You needed help they failed to dial triple 9
You cried yourself to sleep hoping for a better tomorrow
Sadly, every morning pain still came for breakfast
...
I am what I am for a reason
They overlook my purpose, but I'm here for a season
Vilified for being different
Only accepted based on their own interest
...
The way the world is now, it's hard to believe we used to be one
The idea of a supercontinent, Pangea
The world was not divided by continents, colour nor race
The thought of it always puts a smile on my face
...
It is the Year 2024
What are we still waiting for?
Our desire to succeed burns hotter than the earth's core
Today we stand tall, the masks are off
...
Dear younger me,
First and foremost, I am sorry for what is going to happen to you
I wish I could prepare you for what is coming
The pain is going to shatter You
...
We all have our own demons, that's life
You made your bed, now sleep on it
You created a monster, face me
They looked at each other and asked "what have we done? "

All On Me
Hi mum,
You raised me well, all the bad about me is all on me
I lost my way along the journey; how do I turn back?
My desire to live a perfect life made me force things that didn't fit
Your prayers saved me
But what will sustain me?
They said there is a spell cast upon me, I didn't believe in such
But if I am not a threat, why are dark forces fighting me this hard?
You taught me patience, I did the opposite
I knew what I wanted, but I didn't wait for it
I always wake up when it's too late
Repairing the damage always cost me
Red for danger? Maybe I am a bull at a show
The wrong people I ‘ve met in my life, I attracted
I once stood at a door to the good life, but there was a sign that said restricted
So much has happened in my life which a lot of people still question
Some of them are shameful and most are sad to mention
You raised me to be great, but what I am now, that's on me.
I WOULD give 5 STARS....if only PH allowed it. Do you choose to not have us vote with stars? bri Maybe tomorrow PH will offer a choice.
'The sad truth is, not every story has a happy ending.' I LIKE some stories with 'sad' endings, and stories with happy endings. My 3 divorces were each a mixture of 'sad' and 'happy'. ;) bri
yah, at some point we learn how to take the good with the bad. It hurt when when what happened to me did and I had a lot of questions. You only get to understand after you let go and heal.
line 6: I never heard 'invigilate'. ;) 'invigilate noun To keep watch. To keep watch over examination candidates to prevent cheating.' Is it related to 'vigil' and 'vigilante'?
Line 3: Use 'collateral damage': 'Synonyms of collateral damage collateral damage noun Definition of collateral damage as in fatality Synonyms & Similar Words Relevance fatality sacrifice victim casualty prey loss martyr loser murderee underdog '
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is stand in front of a mirror and smile at the person starring back at you
I BET this story is NOT part of YOUR life story. Condolances to you if it is.
sadly, It is. thank You, I have healed and learnt a great lesson from it.
