Like roses thriving in thorns, We don’t look like what we’ve been through. Like the lilies of The Valley, We get just what we need to survive. And like the birds of the air, We go out each day, with praises on our lips not knowing what to expect. Life stares us in the face…… Continue reading Mission Possible

While I Wait
While I wait,For whenever that is, For when that time comes,And you come along,Finally!I’d be finding myself,Learning who I am and what I am destined to be.I’d be finding my happiness.I’d be living my best life doing those things I love.While I wait,I am not going to sit outside looking out to the fields for…… Continue reading While I Wait
In Tune
The rhythm of the windThe sound of the heart beating The movement of the leaves The birds chirping.The butterflies in my belly,The nausea, the thick choke on my chest, that feeling, like you just swallowed a rock.The music is in my head,The lyrics are on my lips The tune my feet remember The beat my…… Continue reading In Tune
Fix your Eyes
Fix your eyes on that which matter. Not the glam, not the fans, not the chants and hailings. Fix your eyes on that which matter. Not the accolades, not the privileges, not the competition, and not the luxury. Fix your eyes on that which matter. The inner peace and joy, the hope that things will…… Continue reading Fix your Eyes
Thank you 2021
Through the mill, Through the storm and rain, Through the fire wanting an escape, Life lessons that will carry me through life’s journey. From here on out, I know better days are certainly ahead. My faith has been tested, Learnt patience through endurance, Leaped over huddles of insecurities, Trusting more in my abilities and judgment.…… Continue reading Thank you 2021
At One Point in History
do you remember when I told you the story of a little boy, a little boy whose tears mattered only at birth, the beginning of his life and the end of another’s, or maybe even his own, everything in between was like a fog so thick, that only the brave and willing would fight through…… Continue reading At One Point in History
I Grew Up
From the dust whence I came,From the clot of blood that formed me,From the gene, the very DNA I carry,Rising through the dust,Working my way out of the valley,Defying the oddsWriting my own story.I grew up.Conforming was never a consideration,Finding my own path and wanting to be different, always,Fuelled me.My drive, my passion, my tenacity.Words…… Continue reading I Grew Up
Ad Infinitum
Ad Infinitumno one can hold a candle to your fire, a knife to your sword, your whisper is like an earthquake in the depth of high seas, on land it is like a horrifying mudslide, at the sound of your voice beings quiver, none can question your might, none can question your power, none can…… Continue reading Ad Infinitum
Damsel in Distress
Dear damsel in distress, Did the dragon lock you up in the tower? Did you bite the poisoned apple of the wicked witch? No one is coming! Dear damsel in distress, There is no Prince and neither is he charming. Think outside the box and get yourself out of this mess. Prince Charming is nothing…… Continue reading Damsel in Distress
Self-Inflicted
I went to bed hoping that she didn’t see the things that I did to myself. But I know she did. I know she did. She watched me ever so intently from the corner of her eye, When I stood in the mirror and we made eye contact, she looked away, For the brief moment…… Continue reading Self-Inflicted
