POETRY: Is It Goodbye?

-

Hi, it has been a while but I am still here.

The sense of finality
The thud of the door closing
The beep at the end of the phone call
Causes a twitch in the heart
Just when you think you won’t feel a thing
That goodbye changes everything
Says you won’t see each other again
You start to feel it all
An assurance that it’s over
Makes you wish you could do it all again
See them one last time

Should I run and reach for your hand
Or cry it out.

POETRY: In Pursuit of Happiness

Welcome everyone back to my first love, my blog and poetry. Words cannot be said about why I stopped but i'm back and it feels like heaven. It's funny how I see more of myself clearly during a pandemic, maybe it's because there's nowhere to run or hide this time and you have to face your demons head on. This pandemic is causing a lot of us to question ourselves and what we thought we knew but we'll be alright. Also I hope we are all safe and socially distancing and finding happiness in various little ways. So, here is a short piece I wrote a few days ago. Dear Ori, Do not ever let me dine with vultures  And eat meals that make me fat with silence Let me never eat that which will gag me And cover my eyes in times when evil deeds are done Let hunger never let me scrounge for food at the devil's table Or feed off his crumbs to live Let them never hold my life in shackles in exchange for help May I never let the sn

Feminism Isn't A Cult

Hiiii, so I have a confession,  I AM A FEMINIST , how stupid does that sound, that in this day and time that has to be a declaration but sadly it is, given the comments and shocked looks I get when they find out I am. Just like a while back I was with a friend and we were discussing marriage I think and then I said I don’t think it’s compulsory to get married and then she was like  “Ah, I hope you have not joined those feminism people’’, I was shocked but I still said “ err , I am a feminist’’. Then she went into a talk, the whole time she was speaking you’d  think I joined a cult or a militant group.  In a way I can’t blame her as a lot of people still think a whole  lot of things when they hear feminism; ·         They think we hate men ·         They think we are against marriages ·         They think it’s about who cooks or does chores.  But no, feminism isn’t man hating and much more than chores, from what I have learnt feminism is about women being equal to me

POETRY: In Hiding

For those who go through dark days they can't share or explain, my heart is with you. They ask ''how are you?" you smile your heart beats loudly like the talking drum your hands shakes a little because how do you say ''I'm dying slowly  my days are filled with emptiness, sadness and months with lows I struggle to breathe sometimes my chest tightens too and i think it might never end" How do you explain that your life is whirring past and you are barely hanging on that you feel emotions you can't explain and thoughts you shouldn't have that your mind is numb and your heart distant  Like you are walking alone in the forest at night afraid, heart palpitating no light in sight your voice echoing back Uneasy because monsters lurk That running leads to dead ends so you stay lost and wandering in this place of nowhere But instead you bolt your feelings in Smile and say  i'm fine and
