Contentment over despair

They hide their maliciousness and evil intentions behind masks of righteousness and perfection.
The moment you feel you have an ally, it turns around and soon feels like the whole world is against you.
What can be done? We are but measly, powerless beings in the grand scheme of things
Stranded in an unjust world eager to maintain its unfairness under the guise of preserving tradition.
A world where elders abuse authority and respect and manipulate religion and culture to cover up their misgivings and wrongdoings.
The growing generation is caught in the crossfires between two realities;
A world of change and growth and a world of tradition.
Is tradition more important than a fulfilled and content life?
These thoughts run through my mind as I fall victim to yet another manipulation of culture
Ideologies are misconstrued as pride and disrespect for authority.
A promise is made with a tear-stained face
 I choose a fulfilled life over a life of despair
The manipulation ends with me.

I am who

In my quest for self discovery 

I realised the problem plain to see

Anxiety, timidity and ignorance 

Bravado,pride and arrogance 

All gain my innocuous disdain.

My desire for acceptance 

Left me baffled on the importance 

Of self love and self worth. 

The vast possibilities that would be

Who I was, who I am, who I could be.

The doubt, confusion and fears

Have led me here.

I may not be perfect 

But these attributes identify me.

I dare not change me

For I am different

I love different, and I love me.

Reality of life

When we stare at the mirror 

Is it the reflection of our reality?

Or is it the curtains of their design?

Is it the similarity in our diversity?

Or is it the diversity in our similarities?

Is this the life we choose to live?

Or is this the life we were taught to live?

Are we influencing society?

Or are we influenced by society?

Do we shape our destiny?

Or is our destiny shaped for us?

These are the questions of an innocent child 

To peek through the lenses and understand the reality of life.

woman

Woman, a being of complexity 

Enigmatic is your femininity

Firm is your desire for equity 

To keep it lasting in perpetuity.

 

Woman, a being of perplexity

Victory is in your destiny

Your regal splendour,

A congenital ability.

 

Woman, a being of equanimity

Your comforting arms a remedy

Your fearless courage a constancy

Persistence and consistence a stability.
