I know how the snake feels
When the cloud gets dark
And unto him the cold rain pours
When the sun shines and burns its exposed skin
When night brings danger
And there is no escape
I know why the snakes moves
In a path so sneaky
For he sneaks away from life
I know why the snake cries
Tears turned to blood
Prayers unanswered
Dreams shuttered
By an act of faith
I know why the snake bite's
when someone come's close
He is forced to act
an act of fear
It bites for its protection
No one seems to care about him he thinks
Left alone with the green grasses
He slitters all day
because of the loads of history
Those loads bending him down
To a point of shame
Unable to stand tall
It slitters
The way the snake moves
Makes us one in pain
Taking away from home
Left to wonder
In a place that brings nothing but pain
He prays not for tomorrow
but for tonight
because if he is able to survive tonight
He smiles
His spirit's lifted one more time

Eseohe Oseghale Poem
Hate, hate is a strong word and so is love
Love comes and goes but true love leaves within
I am scared to hate but can't help the way I feel
Because hate is something that comes to mind when I think of you
You made me believe that someday you'll find me, find us.
Someday your family whose my family would except me for who I am
As a kid I always dreamed of that day
when I'd run into your arms and feel your tender brace
but now I am becoming an adult
but still thinks like a kid when it comes to you
I don't hate you, at least I think I don't,
all I hate is the pain, the wishes, the hopes, that faith I have in you
Mama never seems to get me at times
She doesn't even seem to hear how I long for the unity
between two families I am supposed to love to death
Oh how much pain life has brought to me
To you I am just a mistake
one you wish to erase forever
but to me, you are the reason I am here
they say not to think about it, but what do they expect,
at 15 all i want is the perfect home
the perfect childhood
the perfect life
but nothing is close to perfect without you here
oh how heartless the soul of a man
you stole everything that could possibly make that whole that i so much need
I AM A CHILD
I see things around to make me wonder how life would have been
if only you took a moment to love me the way you should
instead you cast me away and made me feel unwanted, uncared for and like a mistake
but you know what I am 15 and someday I'd grow out of it
someday you would find me
find me and cry
oh tears of pain and agony would you sheared when you find me
TEARS THAT BONDS A DAUGHTER WITH HER FATHER
you will find me much stronger
much more sucessful than you would ever think
oh what a sucess i wouild be
to prove you wrong and to show you that i got all the love i EVER NEED
and maybe someday the baby in me would let you in
till then i am just going to make the best i could out of a situation like this

Eseohe Oseghale Poem
Walking down the hall
Smelling drugs, alcohol and weed
Wondering why life tends to be this way
I know that life's a challenge but that's not an excuse for your actions
Turn the corner
more weed, more drugs and more alcohol
My lungs collapsed in seaing pain
Why do you hurt yourselves this way
Little boy's who are barely grown
Smoke day in and day out
Saying that it is just a phase
Even now the girls do it too
Smoking, hallowering and slowly ruining their lives
Saying life is wicked
but who are you to criticize life
when you don't make it any better
I try not to say anything
but my heart hurts in sinking sand
My nose burns from constant pain
They say drugs a devil but still you befriend the devil
They say it brings nothing but pain but still it's a tempting demon
You can't keep on making excuses
Life would always be a challenge
All you have to do is face it

Eseohe Oseghale Poem
Deep inside me there's something called fear
Afraid of life itslef and ever flowing tears
Filling up space and moving like a river
There it is, I just know
Enveloping me and am captured
My heart twisted and pleading no
In my head am feeling tortured
Scarred and hopeless, and feeling the
Weight of a million pounds
With nothing around to bring me back
Racing in the lonely truth
I turn to catch a breath and am florting
In my own faith
With me, myself and something I know is fear
Afraid to scream cause the taste feels bittered by
Your wicked stab, trying to escape
But I know I can't
so I just stare into space,
bleeding for help.

Eseohe Oseghale Poem
What do you hope to see when you look so deep in my eyes
There is nothing but emptiness
at 16 you'd hope that I'd be like every teenager
but no am not
Tormented by the past
Scarred by the present
Afraid of the future
I become an outcast
even to my own self
What do you hear when I speak
Do you hear the pains in my voice
Or do I cut you with the sharpness of my tongue
Undisputed that's what I am
but yet misunderstood is what they see
A lonely smile and a battered heart
A frightful stare
but still a wasted space
I can't make you love me
I can only make you see me
I can't change the past
but I can only write my future
I can't make you understand the hole in my heart
but I can fill it up with they things I seek
I can't make you take back those words
that still haunt me even if they were not direct
but you know what,
I can do just fine without you
