Groans

Today looks as beautiful as every other day. The cool spring breeze, and the serenity that eludes me. Makes no difference but something deep has uprooted the tight strings of peace and there is an uproar in my soul.
Today I feel the sting of mistakes made and I have never learnt lessons as difficult as I have learnt this one but I am grateful for a life that will write no matter what. My will to write is my life. Alone I stand but my words invade me and makes me whole. There is no pain greater than regret and today I will start living without the pangs of my past. I will love and love like nothing matters and I will protect my own and if I can, I will protect your own. No matter what I have done or who I have been, my value has not changed, I am a woman of valour and greatness and my strength shall be felt in all areas of the earth. I will shake the African bottle until it turns green again. I have scorged hearts and destroyed souls but I have come today to tell the story, that you may be able to forgive yourself. For every single crime committed, you will overcome, no matter how dirty you are, stand up and go take a shower. We are who we are and we are together. Be rest assured that change is not for specific persons, it is for the one who stands and takes it.

Ahamefuna

  There's something about Ahamefuna that disturbs my spirit. He came home from work like every other day, tired but excited to see his family. He put up a long grin that almost looks fake, holding a bag of groceries I had asked for earlier in the day. The atmosphere changed with his presence, the feeling of dear gripped me tightly but I remained calm anyways. I kept asking how his day went and he kept ignoring the question like he didn't hear what I said. I kept looking at him, looking for traces of anything that would confirm my fears... He kept starring at me like he had a thousand words to say but was held back by a border. I could see him from the side of my eyes as I cut vegetables for dinner. I couldn't place my hands on this mystery but it felt like he was aloof. He offered to cook dinner with me and even put the kids to bed. My husband is the sweetest man I ever know but he associates cooking with the female gender, I didn't mind because I love cooking. He spent

Peace in Chaos

 There in her chamber, seated on her big gold crested cushion, she felt deep peace. Nothing on earth would compare to this calmness that her heart has attained. She dragged in sweet air, held it tight as if it was her last and let it out gracefully as she rested on her cushion. It won't be long before she looses consciousness.  The events of her life in the past few years felt like dark magic. She shut her eyes to see her loved ones, this was the only way she could remember their faces and feel their warmth for they were all connected only by the soul.  She smelt her youngest son, he was only 9 months old before he passed away. "Strange world" she muttered to herself and smirked. It was hard for her to have lost them but the sting of death didn't affect her anymore, she has lost everything that could cause her pain. She felt like her husband was talking to her, she jerked up with eyes wide open in surprise. But he wasn't there, he had died from lung Cancer. She le

Society: Living for others

 Society : Living  Life For Others  My name is Gladys, I have led the wrong life.                            I often play a little game with myself when I'm feeling bad. The game is a simple one, and maybe one that some people might find slightly morbid, but it cuts to the heart of the matter. I ask myself if this thing that is making me feel bad will matter to me when I'm on my death bed. Ninety-nine percent of the time the answer is no. My answer gave a concluding impact. I worry about things that won't matter later in life. I spend lots of my time worrying  about what other people think of me.  I live a life that is not quite what I want and expect.   I submit to other people's demands all the time and live for them. I live for what people will say or think. I led my life for the universe, to satisfy people's expectations of me. But slowly, I died inside. So, I said to myself, "But this is your life - so spend it doing what you want and not for others &
