F.E.A.R

I thought it would crush me until I was ash and cinder

My lungs were begging for air

Bandaged in fear, I couldn’t breathe

It held my tongue back when I witnessed an injustice

It hushed my voice when I wanted to scream for help

Frozen, yet the world kept on spinning

Be careful of my heart

' Be careful of the people that take from you even when they see you have nothing
be wary of someone who promises kisses, loyalty and sunflowers 
but only delivers specks of fairy dust and colourful bullshit. 

Be careful of people that don't listen to your heart breaking 
the way your smiles wane when they will you once again to do something for them 
when was the last time they asked, friend, what can I do for you? 

Be wary of people that will witness your suffering and only offer 'aww shem' as a cushion to your plight 
surely you dont need the company of such people in your life
these are the bad fruits your mother warned you about'

THE HAPPINESS PROJECT

 I have been to the deepest darkest corners of the world, I have fought faceless demons that threatened to strip me of my soul, but I'm here today ready to tell my story. Ia m ready to begin the healing process, welcome to my #HappinessProject


"Tell your story until the broken pieces begin to heal
Tell your story until you can muster the will power to wake up and survive until sunset
Tell your story until you don't have to bandage your scars
in a shameful attempt to soothe your shredded ego
Tell your story and shout it out to the rest of the world
Tell your story until you can taste sounds and find solace in writing poetry
Tell your story until the scars begin to heal"
