Damned is the heart

You don’t love me,

You love the idea of loving me, 

You love the idea of having me in your life

You love the idea of “this is who is right for me”

Damned is the heart

I mean… 

I’m amazing!

Im a lucky find,

You find comfort in me

You have peace of mind and all that good stuff you would want from your woman 

I’m everything you want 

Damned is the heart

Because…. 

I’m not everything you need

I don’t give you the butterflies 

I don’t fill up your mind with ME

I don’t make your heart skip a beat 

I just don’t cut it… 

Damned is the heart

Well…

You try to hold on 

You try to do right by me

You try to be committed to me

You try to choose me over and over again 

You try to be happy 

You TRY AND FAIL because I’m just not the one 

Damned is the heart

Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are Is dead to me

The world we live in right now is very socially constructed and the phrase “Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you” is very popular in every society. I have believed this phrase to be true for a very long time. This is until I interacted with different people from different societies, beliefs and of different religion.  The environment we grow in really shapes the kind of people we become. The way of life our societies are accustomed to shapes the people we become. Even the families we grow up in shape who we are. Do not get me wrong... the phrase has a lot of truth to it especially if its easy for you to fall victim of peer pressure for example becoming a thief or drug user if you hang around such characters.  But the basis of this writing is based off of human understanding. I feel that it’s important to understand people individually because each person has a story of what makes them who they are.  If you remain conscious to human understanding the...

STILL I STAND

"I was sexually assaulted!" How do i even say it to my parents and mates? How do i start the conversation? Yes i was drunk.. Will they understand? I only had one glass of vodka diluted with sprite Was i drugged? What did the culprit add in my drink? You were my friend, of course you can stay over We were both drunk anyway.. but you were conscious I trusted you to get me home safe Do you even realize what you did? To be honest, i myself just recently discovered that it was assault (years later) Why did i let it happen? Was it my fault? I carry the hurt, shame and a secret that is soo hard to tell I forgave you and still kept you as a friend Our society is not open to such conversations, so how do i hold a grudge when YOU don't know any better? Dear African girl, i am sorry you have to endure and carry some burdens alone. How soon will this conversations begin? Will the generation of my time atleast educate their children?
