[Verse 1]
We're supposed to be the good guys
We're supposed to love, love, love
But I just can't see it
these days when I look at us
[Pre-chorus]
You gotta beam in your eye but you point your finger at me!
Turning up your nose, thinking you are better
Spreading hate…spreading hate you disassociate with sinners
[Chorus]
Do not take the Lord's name in vain
Making us feel ashamed
When we accept Jesus into our lives
We take His name, the name of Christ
It's such a shame …all this dissension
How can you call yourself…a Christian
[Verse 2]
We're supposed to reflect his light
But the light shines brighter in the darkness
Not so each fault and sin can be seen
So they'll see God's light Shining through me
[Tag]
Judge not that ye be not judged
Love how Jesus loves
Judge not that ye be not judged
Love how Jesus loves
How Jesus Looooooooovvvveeeessss!!!!!
[Chorus]
Do not take the Lord's name in vain
Making us feel ashamed
When we accept Jesus into our lives
We take His name, the name of Christ
It's such a shame …all this dissension
How can you call yourself…a Christian!?!
How can you call yourself…a Christian,!?!
“what hurt the most?”, he asked.
Struggling to hold back the tears that were threatening to resurface I replied,
“I’m not sure but, maybe it’s the fact that you didn’t hurt as much as I did,
You were not the one churning through each of our memories late at night and wondering where it all went wrong,
you were not the one crying yourself to sleep at night,
you were not the one whose heart was utterly shattered by the simplest actions.
Or maybe it’s the fact that I could never bring myself to tell you the real reason why we grew apart,
Or the fact that I had to tear my eyes away from that face of yours I would long to see all day long,
Or the fact that I lost one of the people who felt like home to me,
Maybe I miss the familiarity,
The easiness of it all.
But what hurt the most is the realization that I will never love someone like I loved you,
Yet couldn’t do the most mere of actions when I would’ve given you the world had you asked for it.
This goodbye is bittersweet but I hope it is the end because I refuse to toil like this without acknowledgement and there is nothing left in me that you have possibly not taken already.
So that is what hurt the most”
I ended
You say you're sorry
But your not
You want me to forgive
But I won't
You say something racist
Then give this fake apology
What do you want
For me to forgive and forget
But what you said
Is permanently etched in my head
So no I won't forgive and forget
I won't give you the satisfaction
I won't let you win
I won't submit
To this narrative
Where you somehow make yourself the victim
So you can take your 'apology' and shove it
Because to me it's meaningless
So you can choke on your fake guilt
Instead of being a racist maybe you should go into acting
Because this performance
you nailed it
But don't think I'll fall for it
You knew what it meant
You used it to torment
Me
To bully
Me
But you don't know the history
You are so ignorant
This is white privilege
Because while your trying to unlearn your racism
I and many other had to heal from the worlds hatred
So excuse me If I don't forgive and forget
So I won't pretend for your benefit
I take the blade
like a sculptor takes his chisel—
not for art,
but for erasure.
Skin is too quiet.
It wears my face like a mask I never chose.
So I slice,
deep enough to silence it,
to watch it speak in red.
Each cut a sentence.
Each bruise a thought I couldn't hold.
I dig through muscle and memory
trying to find what part of me
deserves forgiveness—
but all I find is rot.
Nails tear at the surface
when the blade dulls.
Teeth, fists, anything
to feel my hatred echo
through blood.
This is not performance.
This is penance.
This is punishment for waking up
in a body I never asked for.
They say:
“Don’t hurt yourself.”
As if it’s hurt.
As if it’s not relief
to open myself
and let the poison breathe.
I mutilate
because I can’t kill
what’s inside.
So I tear down the walls
again
and again
and again.
Not to die—
but to make the pain visible.
To show the world
what it did to me.
To make it real.
To make me real.
If only for a moment
before the blood dries
and the shame returns
wearing my name like a crown.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
You aren't me.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
You don't want to be me.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
Through hell, I've earned it all.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
You dont need it, I do.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
What's yours is mine.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
You dont deserve it, It shouldn't be yours.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
Let go of it, it's mine.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
Give up on it, what's mine will always be mine.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
Death to all of you but mine- I will grasp it.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
I dont care about you- mine! mine! mine!
I hate. I hate. I hate.
Shhhhh, forfeit yourself- it has always belonged to me.
I hate. I hate. I hate.
Earth is like a glass, it breaks like your heart
Figuring the determination from people, that keeps us apart
We sit here and think life will last forever
We're getting older now, so let's get ourselves together
Families will be gone soon, there will be nothing but memories
But if you never came around, you will be quite lonely
So you grow old by yourself, with no one to help
You die all alone with no one around you but yourself
No one at your funeral to say those kind words
Because you never gave anyone a chance when you were alive on this earth.
As we leave your repast and go back to our house
You will not be on anyone mind, nothing about you will come out of our mouth
You will be just an afterthought like mist in the air
Disappearing from our mind and no one will care
So stop being a loner, take time, and enjoy your family
We love you to death, but only if you could see
O, strange, unusual, odd one.
You never seem to fit in; you always find yourself in front of the gun.
Always at the end of scurrilous attacks
They aim and shoot vitriol with their shameful acts.
But fitting in was never a part of the plan.
Apart, you were set apart to do a great work that most will never understand.
Yes. The black sheep of the family by far
When you walk, when you talk, their burning desire is to pull the veil on your star.
But shine, you will.
So, peace be still.
And be ashamed of your calling? This you should never be.
You were chosen to stand and tell a beautiful story.
To anyone, never extend your paining hand
Hand that they might twist
Twist cos of distrust and hatred
To anyone, never reveal your tears’ secret
Secret to shield antagonists of making you cry more
More never reveal to anyone your fragile side
Side anyone might deeply explore
Explore to agonize you more beyond
Beyond of your inner secrets
Secrets buried can shun becoming prisoner
Prisoner of your worries towards your enemies
Enemies making you live in perpetual terror
Terror because an honest man was betrayed
Betrayed by a traitor who is confident
Confident because the perjurer is entrusted
Entrusted for breaking the truth
Truth no one will ever reveal
Reveal and expose themselves
Not every truth needs disclosure
Disclosure kills trust people have in you
You trust yourself, as you cannot betray yourself.
Poem by N. Mugisho
I couldn’t help but notice,
If I may be so bold,
That when you look at yourself
It’s in a way that’s most cold.
Though your freckles the stars
On a skin full of rainbows,
You cannot seem to see
How much that you glow.
And though your eyes they must be
Either green or brown or blue
To all those around
They’re the most envious hue.
Would that you bury your face
To hide it from the mirror,
I would move a whole mountain
To have it come nearer.
Though you hate your laugh
It’s my most favorite song,
And so lucky would I be
To hear it all the day long.
You think at yourself,
“Surely, I must cut it”.
Oh, but darling,
Can’t you see that I love it?
You see your creations
As worthy of fire,
But see that I love them
With such a burning desire.
You say that you are weak,
Though through pain all along,
You have gone without dying
So to me you’re quite strong.
You think yourself not good enough,
Now let me lift you to the sky.
Let the love for yourself
Be a new kind of high.
So if I may be so bold,
You may think this not true,
Though you may hate yourself,
Yourself is why I love you.
You say I should/
Pay for my crimes/
But, I'm innocent/
You won't be satisfied/
Till you put/
A bullet in my head/
You call me *****/
Because of my conviction/
But, I don't stoop/
To that level/
I never done that/
But, you won't stop/
Even after my body/
Lays in the ground/
You will always/
Have a reason/
To find fault with me/
You call yourself/
A... Christian/
But, your love for Jesus/
I do not see/
All you ever share/
Is your hate towards me/
Frustrations and struggles
amount to rage, if not insanity;
do away with all craziness,
forgiveness can bring serenity!
Do no harm and sleep well;
if revenge is all you pursue,
be assured that'll you'll hurt
yourself for a selfish quest!
Don't be obsessed and get even,
who did wrong, walks in hot fire:
he couldn't escape from his pain,
he hopelessly hangs on thin wire.
Do no harm and sleep well,
replace anger with awareness;
much less will be your darkness,
your choices are: Paradise or Hell!
Think again and ring no bell,
hurting others is no excuse:
who hides behind the mask
of a fool, doesn't or won't ask
himself the outcome of abuse.
I don't believe you mao.
When you chose to delve into love now,
you would many things allow.
Some will have a sort of flow,
but there will be days were you feel kind of low.
But somehow,
everytime you did a bow,
he didn't asked questions like: ,,how?"
With yourself, you already ended up making a vow:
,,I won't hurt him"
Even though at the end he might've hurted you and you would end up with a grim, slim and thin you still,
I am sure,
Want the behavior to trimm.
Haven't you once cried a day when you were on a Trip with your class and he looked at you "weirdly'' because you sat at the ground to let his bestfriend sit?
Always wrote about everything but myself
It's difficult to be honest although ephemeral
I'm failing at everything I try because of you
I can't keep my focus when you're lingering
The back of my mind has been caged off with you inside it
Whether you stay to torment or find yourself a way out
Ethereal contemplation could float upon clouds
I'll stand and look up at you as you are my Aphrodite
It's hard to compare a person to a goddess
Try to make a deity from a heartbeat
Hide the tears falling down your face
They're like a monolith, they're always the same
Did it hurt more when you left or when I returned?
My words can cause the same damage to your mind as a blade to your skin
Do you regret what you did, but can't find a way to make it right?
If that's the case then close it, come back as you left
I loved the old you, does that mean I don't love you?
How shameful it may be, for someone who could soar the skies
I was caught by someone who does not even possess limbs
Wrap your scales around my feathers and sink your teeth deep
Hiding in the tall grass isn't where I'd expect a goddess
Chaos ensues when she enters the venue
Deep-seated insecurities and childhood issues
She takes the beauty and makes it problematic
Chaos is a defining feature of her habits
She aughts be in pictures an award-winning actress.
She embodies the measurements of a diva in distress
She leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes
like a wildfire burning out of control
Malicious, disparaging, unsightly, and misguided
Anger and confused she realizes her world is divided
She wants the power to conquer everyone’s lions
Yet getting taken down by her demonic giants
She's both cold like frost and fierce like a flame
Slurring, cursing, and scandalizing everyone’s name
She is one-sided, so don't waste your time
Trying to persuade her otherwise
The Cross is the only thing that could save that girl
Truth, that’s brighter than a gem, purer than pearls
It's time to unshackle from that intense cord
Jesus’s sacrifice is a gift it is not your award
You don’t have to be pretentious
Just apply yourself & unborn
Loser geek and even nerd
Very painful hurtful words
Makes you feel pushed and shoved
All alone and never loved
An outcast by other people
Wishing one day you could feel
Accepted for being you
Born this way you are so true
To yourself and never want
To change any little part
Of this person deep inside
Special enough not to hide
Qualities that are unique
Wishing others would just peek
Seeing you are not at all
The names you are being called
You just want to be treated
With the kindness that is needed
To survive and not be shunned
This hatred needs to be undone
