ME

A shiver runs down my spine,
I need that manna of mine,
that given with manna and quail,
As i look for a scapegoat, i wail,
life feels like a bad bet,
that i made yet i did not.
I wasn't aware,
I wasn't even here,
As i popped out i cried,
should that answer it
without all that science of unblocking the lungs?
Is the world that bad...?
that an innocent should cry when brought forth?

I need that manna of mine,
that which came without attachment of strings, or did it?
they formed a covenant, right?
Does that account for the 'free' services
or for the 'fee' of the services?
Is that what the world has become?
a battlefield of some sort?
Is that what ME stands for these days
Must Endure?

Yes, i came to that conclusion after much thought.. you only live once,  make the most of it,really. Not to pass on reckless notions but enjoy what you have, the present. Aint nothing better than enjoying damn good pizza ladden with cheese and carbs..heck buy new jeans the next day. Am somewhat petite, and for the longest time ive been fixed on some pair of jeans that used to fit just right but i lost weight for some reason and they dont fit anymore..i could swear i ate pounds of beef and the like and realised, my body functions in its on way. I eat healthy most of the time, my sister wouldnt say so but i think i do. :-) Lets not miss the point here, am writing this to remind not only myself but others like me who are on course to accept what is with their body image. Imperfections are inevitable but beautiful and create a work of art so unique. Confidence starts from the inside and flows outwards, to how you walk, talk and behave. Wrapping a package. As a young woman, and ...

Sanity

Dawn brings in its good cheer, fragrant with such hope and faith expectant with dreams fulfilled, and desires to be met, Yet we the weak in spirit slumber, afraid of the dark, we stayed up afraid of the light, we slept in Banking on imaginary monsters, Of century old myths, we awaited doom. We cursed the good, embracing what evils we knew In the purest of forms , we succumbed The virtual darkness engulfs, so thick a trial so vein, of wicks the pleas made silently turn to screams hidden emotions begin to show, tears, blood, sweat, name it Shackles of the past tighten the little we had left, we took by the hand, fighting to the death, fighting for sanity rights we had long forgotten, rights we had long surrendered, we  claimed. The hold you had, gone ensnares and traps placed, poof chains and groaning, relief locks and cables, opened windows and doors, unhinged weary hearts, lifted of the past and present, accepted, of the future, a mystery expected a si...

Crash and Burn, its the only way how.

    A  new month brings such realisation to ones life and the year at hand. Something i've learnt over time is the need to be true to your self if anything. The lyrics of  Alanis Morissette, song  'you learn',  gave me such.     Although i have heard the song multiple times before, i really listened to it the other day and saw the need for each and every one of those thing and scenarios she spoke of.    ' Getting your heart trampled on by anyone', Love is a brave act, a war, a bed of roses and so much more than i can imagine. But to love one needs to have courage to survive the thorns and live through the bad days, to give your heart and soul and be open to the one you love. And if your heart gets trampled on, it simply means you've lived and you've learnt.    The best of them are the hot flames, I know that a little too well. The unexpected ones you met on your broken road to greener pastures. Those that crash and burn...
