I Kept It

so i kept it
9 months in me
we connected 
everyday i had to make sure i was happ so it wouldnt be affected
sleepless nights feeling sick and it was because of it
sometimes id regret changing my mind on having it aborted
and everytime i did
it would kick
slowly joy would run deep in my heart
even though i didnt want it
it chose me to be its mom
an ammature
unemployed,confused,young girl
with no direction.
i kept it
i have nothing visible to give to it
just my love
which is not pure enough
for a gift like it.
i kept it
but i lost me
i became such a mess that the only thing that rang in my head was death
i sat down and depression sat next to me
my last thought was 
"im going to keep it,give birth to it but im not going to stay with it"
i was unfit to mother it
and so after holding it 
i kissed it
hugged it
and i left it
my son ...
i left you 
in the arms of my mom
who's going to love you
i thought i was going to better for you as an angel and so i went to heaven and left you.

Money Is the Root of All Evil

They say money is the root of all evil.
So forgive me God for I'm about to be a sinner. 
You know I can't let my baby
Just have water for his dinner.
In this life you are only a winner 
If you're pockets are Fuller
And frankly im tired of being a loser
Only  Rich at heart with nothing 
To show except for my hungry smile and my kindness .Now i want money and respect as interest, I'm willing to 
Lose my integrity as an investment.
No more time for sitting around the fire with family and sharing fairy tales
About the rich men of the city,the kings and queens of the streets of Egypt who praise Gold and shine like diamonds. So I dust my self as I enter the world of believers and dreamers and as I become one of them I'll forget my dusty roots and one day will convince them that it is better to sin while you in the world because it's no different from hell oh well only when I die and reach heaven will I give up the riches of earth cause I can't live like an angel when I got no wings.

My Hope

Look at those 
hills and rivers
Perfectly 
situated on 
this Dark 
continent
I smile as I 
look at Table 
Mountain
Blowing a kiss 
to mount 
kilimanjaro
At night when 
we are all 
asleep
They speak
About the 
good old 
times
When it was 
just 
stones,birds 
and trees
See 
everything 
thing changed
When Homo 
sapiens
Started 
chopping 
down 
everything 
building 
streets
Now as I 
listen to the 
birds tweet
I can feel they 
sorrow
As they speak 
about they 
friends 
Pythons and 
rhinos as they 
at a risk of 
being extinct.
But still africa 
is beautiful
Colourful and 
today all da 
races Mix
Don't focus 
your eyes on 
poverty
And the 
corrupted 
government
But be 
enchanted by 
our 
Gorillas,jungles 
and our rivers
Washing 
away all our 
troubles
Stare at the 
sky as it 
promises 
A better day
In Africa 
there's Hope

You Take Me To Cloud 9

You lift me up
You make me smile
Just by pronouncing my name
You glorify my face
You give me faith
And Today I believe in fate
    Only bcz iv seen ur grace

You like a gigantic Bird 
Dat carries me to Cloud 9
As I float up high
I rejoice for in you iv found my mate
You make me dream of nothing better
You and me together
That's destiny

As we hold hands 
I vow to my soul "I'll never let you go"
I'll never depart 
Such a heart dat loves so true
  You take me to cloud9

Abortion

Dear baby
You came at the wrong time
And at the wrong place
Its not your fault but its mine
Its not just about you
But about my life too
I would love to hold you in my arms sing to you 
till u sleep
I would love to kiss your cheeks,tickle your 
stomach and hear the melody of laughter.
But I can't not now
I can't change your diapers
I can't even buy you diapers
I can't stay up all night
Worrying about your next meal
Oh and your Father
He can't either
About us he doesn't bother
I feel you inside of me moving
Comforting me every time 
I feel sad
I wanna keep you but my circumstances don't 
allow me
You too young to understand
Even I still don't understand
Maybe one day I'll forgive myself
But I can't keep you
Through my lack of common sense
Without a condom I had sex
And now I have to abort you
But I could never terminate the existence of you 
in my life
EmotionaLly n spiritually.
You came at the wrong time
Wrong womb
And I'm sorry for choosing my life over Yours.

When Is My Turn

When is my turn

I see them holding hands 
Smiling and kissing on the streets
And I ask when is my turn
When will I find Love?

I see them playing
Singing,jumping 
Late in the evening hugging they Folks
While I work everyday after school
And late in the evening cook for my siblings
So than I ask 
When is my turn?

I see them 
All of them
Sitting around planning
Talking and having a feast
Wen all I'll have for supper tonight 
Is a glass of oxygen mixed with hydrogen
So again I asked when is my turn?
Will I ever see my tears disappear
Will ever happiness smash into me?
 
Cause I see them
Seeing me
Praying for me
I see them wanting to help me
But they minds are too occupied
To accommodate my life
Hands too full 
To pick me

So I ask 
When is my turn?

To Stop Loving You

To stop loving you
You'll have to beat me up
You'll have to smack me 
Kick me and slap da love out of me
 To stop thinking about you
You'll have to hypnotize me
You'll have to dig my heart out
Stab my lungs out
You'll have to squeeze all our memories out
To let you go
You'll have to change 
You'll have to change 
To what I'm clueless
Coz if u be a woman
I'll glady be a lesbian
If u be a dog,I'll make you my pet
If you be a monster
Still I'll love you 
And if you starve I'll let you eat me
So in you I'll die.....

I Hate My Life

I hate my life
I hate my face
I hate my choices
And I hate my fate
I hate my life
I hate my destiny
I hate who God chose me to be
I hate my life
And I hate me
I hate my life
I hate my dreams
I hate my mistakes
And I hate my heart
I hate how it beat for da things that make my 
eyes sweat
I hate who it chooses to let go
And who it selects to stay
I hate my life
I hate my soul
I hate my life
And I hate dis hole
Deep in my spirit
Caused by da things I can't forgive
And what my mind refuses to forget
Like how I know
I had da potential to be Someone
But ended up as not only no one but I'm also 
nothing
Failing at everything
I hate my life
I hate my smile
I hate my life
And I hate my Story
I Hate how its always me who says I'm  Sorry.

In Love

I remember staying up all night 
With silly thoughts of you in my mind
With each thought a smile
Appeared on face
You my grace 
And I'll forever embrace
Every moment spent in your presents
Cause every minutes spent with you is pleasant
You my future past and present
You present me with joy  every day
You my happiness
Though sometimes u cause me stress,wen I lay my head on ur chest all my problems rest eternally
You complete my existence
Without u near I hesitate to take my next breath
I'm afraid without you
Life makes no sense
Its nonsense
Its a nuisance
That I cannot stand
I hope now you  understand what you mean to me

Love Insomniac

Lying in bed 
Eyes open 
wide
I should be 
sleeping
But here I 
am thinking
Of thee

Every night 
all the time
I try to close 
my eyes 
Collapse my 
mind
Faint my 
heart
And rest my 
body
I fail, due to 
a thought of 
you

A thought 
to deep
To within
To intimate
To sweet 

My hands 
wanna 
touch u
Like how 
the stars are 
with the sky 
now
My body 
wants to 
feel before I 
sleep
I'm too weak
That I can't 
sleep
When 
emotions 
run in my 
blood
