A Loner

I AM A LONER

I am a loner because am lonely
I am who I am because of segregation
When I endeavour to integration
There is always a pause back to my imagination


I have arrested myself to labour
As a born free I am  
I am not quite exposed to freedom
I do this to myself because I do not want to lose me

If I get exposed to the radiant beauty of freedom I will not be able to find me
I would devour the savour of my sovereignty
I would emit the savour of my slavery
why am I so scared to be seen? , to be known?
I have been given the power but I feel so powerless
I am lost in these walls of seclusion

Ultimately the doors open it releases me to the exterior of the earths planet
The sun brightens my gloomy room as I open
My cheeks turned rosy by the suns grin
I inhale the harsh breeze of spring
My opposed characters seem to show compassion by their visage
Nevertheless the exterior is not appalling 
in fact it is quite appealing

A Broken Heart

A broken heart

An indescribable emotion
A feeling that is hard to accept 
I am a victim of this venom
The pain it bears give one no pleasure

It feels like a cursor going through your heart
You feel like the walls are isolating
A long road to healing
it is like climbing a mountain full of hills

It is a nightmare that you aspire to be aroused
You full of negative impacts 
You cannot bear the person you perceive in the mirror
A heavy burden waiting impatiently for someone to your rescue
What happened? Memories we shared faded in a blink of an eye
I would not hesitate to turn back the chronometer and fix or do what I didn't

Than to be punished with this unbearable pain 
The organs in my body seem to inherit this grief
My heart is in pieces should I make peace?
What did I do to human-kind that it cannot even be so kind to me
I wet my pillow with tears of sorrow in suspense that tomorrow shall be a better day
My fault was pouring my heart and soul for you now it is down it is hard to pick it

I loved you , I still do cause hatred will never bring me harmony
I forgave you , I forgave myself
my heart is my source of living 
You thought you took that away from me but am still breathing
