AS I GROW

 

 As I grow, I dreamed 

Going to bed at night comes with pleasure

Pleasure because I can eventually,

Retire to bed and look into the future

Future of love unconditional 

That was beauty


As I grow, I could not wait to grow

The future was far

Way to far to start living my dream

How long will I live in fantasies

How many days more to retire to bed

Looking into the future

Future of living my dreams 

That was hard


As I grow, I lived

I counted the days, days rolled up to weeks

Weeks jumped to months, 

And eventually summersaulted to years

But I hoped. Because growth never ends


As I grow, I watched

I observed each day pass by

Carrying my dreams along

Having no control over the moment

The day rushes over with every thought

Are my dreams fading? Are they rushing out with time?


As I grow, I learned

I learnt dreams never die

Days may fail, weeks will disappoint 

And years will mess plans up

But I learned. 


I learnt that, dreams do not die off

Not with time, not with moment

Neither with life's circumstances,

Of oppressions and depression. 

But only of the ability to hold on 

To the dreams that takes you to bed at night.

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🌹
