Time To Go

Everything seems better when I am in my own world 
Everything is better when there is no one there
Once when I had someone 
When I felt friendlier 
When all I wanted to do was be with someone 
I never thought I could think of you leaving
But now you are gone 
I would never allow anybody fill a space within me
I don’t want to feel the pain again
That pain of losing you
I don’t want that for myself
So now I locked up myself in my own world
I need no one else in my life
No more pain to put up with
The bleaker the better
Because right now I feel nothing but numbness 
And that’s how I want it to be. 
No more pain 
Just a bleak world
It seems now that life is okay if it’s just me
The bleaker the better

And life feels safer when I am just here thinking 
All the suicidal thoughts going through my mind 
And all the pictures of you gone away 
Nothing for me to go back on you
Nothing for you to bring me to sadness
That was the worst emotion I ever experience 
Life has never been better after you left my life
After you left me alone, shabby and left to be trashed around
All the apologies I received wasn't for me but for you
It wasn't something that I could do without you
Everything that goes wrong in my life was addressed to your death
The silence brought me out of your world
Your lively world that always brought a smile to my face
But now all I want to do was escape that world
The people in that world of yours look at me sickly
I need no comfort
I just want everything to go back to normal 
Left me to cry 
It reminded me of the times you wiped my cheeks 
Telling me you hated seeing me crying 
Hated looking at me sad
But you were not there to wipe my tears
So I bawled my eyes out
Until I felt nothing 
That’s all I felt
And I wanted to feel no other pain
I would usually pick up an object 
Imagining the time you died
The way you did kill yourself 
I wanted to do just the same
All those stupid therapy I was being pushed into 
Only leading me on the more 
I wanted nothing more than to curl my fingers around those ropes
Around those ropes that I planned on staining with my blood
Or that knife that just lay on my bedside table
Or the needle that was continuously used to draw blood from me
That needle always being in my and as I went on with my work
The piercing sting only pulling me out of my thoughts on you
Or the tablets that lay on my bathroom shelf
That I could take all in a doze
Or the firearm that always stayed in the room not far away
Or the busy street that bled with the honking horns
Just a step in the middle when the green comes on
I just thought of all ways 
I have always wanted to be next to you
Just watch you and recall the time I suffered without you
Those times that are still going on now
But then you always evaded my sleepless mind
Tough sleeping pills were prescribed to me 
Those drugs I dreaded taking with my nurse beside me
Why doesn’t anyone trust that we are different?
Even though one way or another that we are going to end up at the same place
Right now strategies where engineering itself in my head
Ways of escaping my new prison 
Not my world but my new prison 
I needed a friend that would understand
And you were the only friend that understood me
The only friend that would have never let me down
But now I am here letting out my stored sorrow
Only getting out of my thoughts by the draw of my own blood
If only I was that friend you needed
That friend that you would have kept you from such act that went on in your life
The act I know no reason that lead to 
I wanted it from just your lips
Your problems then I would have comforted you
I would have protected you the way you protected me
But now I don’t have someone like you
Or to say I need no one like you to occupy that space again 
I didn’t need any more pain
Now there was no you
I see your pain 
I wasn’t like you
I wasn’t as comforting
I didn’t put anyone forward 
And now that I can’t live without you 
I won’t live without you
And I will bring the knife to my wrist 
And slash till I feel the world going on again 
Goodbye until we see ourselves again
Just in a little while 
Bye for now though.

Feelings

Feelings  

Are they real? 

Sadness and anger sure, 

But love?  

Is it made up? 

Because you are meant to 

Think deep, do you believe? 

That you really do 

Or are you making yourself feel?  

Not the random de ja vu 

Oh I realised 

But the questioning how you feel  

The abrupt need to answer  

What you really do not feel 

Food for thought  

Look in deep  

To know if you are in deep.

Curtains

Curtains fall 

Amazing, 

How people assume they can mold 

Not a pot but your life  

People believe they have opinions 

A right to coerce the steps in your life choices 

A truth told by someone else 

Isn’t your truth 

People only have ideas  

You may pick up  

No, right just their offers behind the curtains  

It easy for them to mistaken  

And it’s your right to undervalue their opinion 

Not that it counts

College

Being alone feels like you are in your own kingdom
You feel like you have all the freedom 
To do anything whatsoever
Then debts and bills to be paid all over
Every single turn you take is stressful 
And you just wish the leaders could be merciful
Then you begin to miss your home town
Where you didnt really do anything on your own
And you wish to relieve yourself from the responsibilities 
And avoid all the fatalities 
You are yet to face 
And take things at your own pace 
To accomplish tasks gracefully
And in the nearest future, live peacefully 
This is the dream of all college students
But we still want to be independent.

Accomplished

Touched by the encouragement
   by my friends and family closest
Honoured by the crowded
    awarded for my hard work and time for all its worth
Anticipated by the world
    opportunities arrive and organizations plea
Nurtured by my culture and education
    brought up in a good background and town
Kept my faith and hopes high
     trusted in God and walked the plank
Still protected by the Lord
     with a long life string in His hands

Clausterphobia

Craving air and freedom
Losing my mind in the enclosed space
Allowing darkness to numb away the anxiety
Undeniable sadness and fear
Slowly seeping into my mind
Tear ducts filling up
Entrenched by my own stupidity
Rethinking my choice of path
Praying to be heard and saved 
Having to give up the darkness 
Or face this fear 
Believing that only my faith in God 
Is worth this journey 
Amen.

Leave Me Alone

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FEEL ENOUGH 
TO DO ENOUGH OF WHAT I AM REQUIRED TO DO 
IT IS LIKE PEOPLE ASSUME IM A DUO 
I CAN ONLY DO WHAT I CAN 
THROUGH IT ALL I COME BACK EXHAUTED. 
EXHAUSTION HAS BECOME MY LIFE PARTNER 
BUT I STILL WORK HARDER 
ONLY TO BE MET BY ANNOYED BACK LASHES
WHAT ELSE CAN A HUMAN DO?

DEPRESSION MET ME RIGHT AFTER
HOSTING PARTIES ALONGSIDE EXHAUSTION 
ANXIETY MY LIFE-LONG FRIEND WAS PRIORITISED 
?MY MENTAL HEALTH STABLE 
OF COURSE NOT 
I AM AT A BARE MINIMUM OF MYSELF 
STILL BEING BACKLASHED ON MY IMPROVEMENTS 
NO COMPLIMENTS, NOTHING 
KEEPING THE BRIMMING TEARS AT BAY
NOT TO LONG TILL I FULLY BREAK. 

TOO BAD NO ONE IS PERFECT 
DO NOT EXPECT PERFECTION FROM MYSELF 
NOT A PERFECT CHILD, PARTNER, SIBLING EMPLOYEE OR COLLEGUE
BARE MINIMUM PRESSURE AND MY STRING WILL BREAK

Life

Life
When I was just 6 years old
I assumed everyone was my friend 
I was friends to all I suppose
But as I grew up
I faced the cruelty of younger children 
Just for standing up to what I thought
What I vouched wasn’t right to do
In this world, 
We are faced with problems 
Individuals and tasks
That are pledged to destroy spirits 
It’s no lie that life has its ups and downs
I was once on the very down 
Now I can say I’m a few frets away from the bottom 
And I plan on getting to the top
I urge you to pick up your backpack 
Fill it up with happiness and positivity 
And start a journey worth your time
Together 
We stand.

False Assumptions

I once was 5'4 
Anf in the eyes of everyone 
I'm still late that height
Even though I've corrected them 
Countless of times 
Just because I'm a girl
They wont accept that 
My height is at the lowest 5'9
They choose to assume I'm short
But I'm tall
I've made up my mind
To ignore people with poor assumptions 
And ignore people that never listen 
To your own truth
And just assume 
They are always right 
With no facts to back them up.

Me

My skin shade is darker
Doesn’t make me any less human
My nationality is different 
Doesn’t give you the right to downgrade me
My gender differs 
Doesn’t encourage you to dominate me
I am who I am 
Who I chose to be identified as 
Don’t establish your own opinion as my image
We are equal
