LOST TO BEAUTY


 LOST TO BEAUTY 


I felt too good, overly confident let's say

I was prim, oh yes and proper

In the nutshell, say I was head over heels


Not confidence of Godliness, or of good morals

Come to mannerisms or decent talks

I was pretty. And like everyone lavishes it, 

It became an alarm, or call it ringtone or maybe my favorite music


I hear it play it everytime

And this shaped me. Like protocols,

I knew it could make ways where there's none


Was it too much to hear of such compliments?

Or maybe I just looked it. Well?

Often times, I was bull headed

Reading all the "I love you messages'

In my prime and I could change boys for 'shege' reasons.


This is it! The time and I'm making most of it.

The future is far and it'll take care of itself.

For now, let the present make waves


Oops! It happened too fast

Just yesterday, I was prim a-n-n-d-d proper

Today, I've lost it all

Everything to beauty


I could have made most,Most out of beauty

Not of societal standards, but of Godly moves

Charm is deceptive and beauty is vain

But a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised

BEHIND THE CAMERA

Image
   BEHIND THE CAMERA  Behind the camera  Are untold stories  Behind the wild smiles  Are dried tears Behind the glam  Is a shattered soul Life has taken destiny into his hands   It teaches the fierce  And couches the populace  You can’t be sure But life will put you on check Drowned in    pool of tears  Captivated by thoughts of uncertainties  You have a way to show a teeth Not because you have figured it all out But because the camera is set on you In a day of gloom and glitch  The camera swallows the pain For a while in a moment  You bury agony and feel delighted  Life isn’t balanced but  The camera makes a difference  It hides sorrows and swallows shame  Behind the camera are lots of stories untold  Yet graceful moments shared The camera doesn’t portray fake lifestyle  It adds beauty to what seem shady and rough  There’s an absolute beauty behind the camera  It...

TO TOUCH AND TO HOLD

Image
To Touch and To Hold   Life is a battle as growth is a battlefield. Growing up as a teenager was as hard as a life of an adult who wishes and aim to settle well in life. I had a crush back in junior high school whom my friends tease me with. Maybe I liked him, maybe I didn't. But I think I admired him as he was handsome.  Some part of me wished he was my boyfriend whereas my other part reminded me of my ego and how I needed to maintain or probably raise it high. I needed to walk with confidence and having that guy as my boyfriend meant lowering my standard, hence, affecting my self respect. The light of my emotions were green but that of my  ego was red. I loved my ego, so I chose the latter.  It was getting to that time of the month and as usual, there was a rise in my libido. I needed a boy. To touch and to hold. What in particular? Yes! Exactly what you're thinking. My sexual edge and drive was on. Like a keeper in a goal post, waiting with all diligence to catch ...

IN A GOWN TO PROVE A POINT

Image
  IN A GOWN; TO PROVE A POINT The moon was bright, the stars were numerous They were a lot, yet I chose to count  It was a night of pain with memories As I started counting the stars I realized they kept increasing Soon, I lost count. Gosh! That's how much I loved him It was a stare of love, as I could not take my eyes off Over two minutes stare, all I saw was love Joined by lips, held by the waist It was a green light for emotion at work Not before I could resume to the world of man It was a night of unforgettable experience Memories indeed ignite awesome past I'm now a shadow of myself What seemed to be uncountable stars at night Ended up to be a moment of excitement It wasn't meant to stay all forever But I guess I was clouded by emotions All expected happy ever after Because they saw a perfect picture All through abuses, infidelity and brokeness  I still chose the gown; To prove a point All needed to be satisfied and I chose them over ME MaakaaWrites🌹
