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 you?"



KINDLY  LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS, COMMENTS AND SUPPORT BELOW.

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
