Letter to depression

Dear Hopeless,
It has been a long, tiring walk we had over the years and we're still going on. I remember those nights we'd sit together all night, contemplating on the best way for me to come over to the other side, that slow conception of breakthrough whenever I thought of it. I remember being with you all day just to fight loneliness, most importantly, sadness.
I started walking today and I realized I was alone, I let go of my shell and I stepped out for a while, what a breath of fresh air. I wasn't exactly free from my weak mind but I could see a ray of light from the cracked walls. It was a beautiful day outside today.
I want to let you know that I want to give life a chance. To beat me up, hurt me, break me, make happy, make me laugh or go crazy. Either way, I want to feel something from this mysterious world and I don't intend to leave on my will because I didn't come on my will.
I hope you'll be fine when I finally break those walls open to brace the world. I hope you find happiness too, I've always known you to be a sad, sick and tired feeling, chocking the lillies out of me. I have chosen to smile for no reason, to laugh when there's a reason to laugh. I have also chosen to be strong when I'm hurt, to keep walking until I find peace. I know my mind will be strengthened after this exercise and I know I'll sit face to face with freedom one day. I wish you the best of luck.

Yours truly
Your freed.

Orchestration

You sat amongst your brothers And together, you ate colanut with finely brewed tea The smile on your faces were even But you, I know you. Your heart reeks of spite The type that comes from a reicarnated soul You stare innocently but your eyes speak volumes I see the envy and pride Ripening like pure palm wine, ready to be tapped You hugged your brothers with a snare when no one looked I saw you. You broke the sacred oath your father bestowed I saw you pass a sword through your brother's heart In a foreign land, he bled and died without dignity He was buried in shallow sand like a mad dog Like an outcast who was sent to the evil forest I saw you. In your chamber you gloried Marvelling at your orchestration While you put up a facade of tears amongst brothers You are the thorn underneath flowers I saw you. History has never held a stone up The sun looked at you with fury and disgust Your brother died in a strange land unknown Your corpse will be paraded shamefully in your hometown. C...

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...

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...
