What is life to you?
Do you truly feel alive?
Who are you?
Is this the path you dreamt of?
Do you feel yourself drowning sometimes?
It’s okay
Be honest
Do you feel yourself trying to get past that brick wall but you can’t?
Who do you turn to?
Who do you lean on?
Do you express your emotions?
Do you bottle it in?
We all have wounds
We all have pain
You’re not alone
What is life to you?
Are you living that life?
Do you truly feel alive?
If not
Turn a new page and start again
There’s a pattern starting to form here, I published ‘So Yeah‘ this time last month and I disappeared but I’m here with another similar piece. If my words help get you through and my constant hiatus doesn’t help, I’m sorry. I’m trying to find words that will get me through before I can try to get someone else through.
Life to me is different from what life is to you but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, don’t let anyone taint your soul!
Ties, bridges, friendships, situationships, relationships. If it’s toxic, please escape. You know when multiple people tell you to cut ties with someone but you’re hanging on a thread of hope that the individual might change, save yourself the heartache and exit.
People will give you something small to hold onto so they can keep you in their claws, look properly and realise what’s real and what’s not.
Everyone is nice, everyone is nice to somebody, everyone is nice till it’s time to actually do something that won’t benefit them. That’s when you know who’s down for you and who’s not.
Life gets difficult, it gets tiring. You might feel yourself knocked out on the ground yet you’re walking around with no direction in sight, believe me I understand, we understand. Things around you won’t make sense, the simplest equation doesn’t equal to the answer that logic would have you believe it to be.
But life, life doesn’t work through logic. Life works in the weirdest of ways, life takes time. I know you question when will it come, when will you attain it. Don’t worry, keep moving, let the universe do its job. Your glory will soon be yours.
I said do you wanna be happy?
I said do you wanna be free?
Free from pain
Free from snakes
Free from her
Free from him
Free from lust
Free from chains
So why do you keep on running
Back to him
Back to her
Back to it
Didn’t you learn?
From the past?
Fooled you once
Tied you down
Fooled you twice
Yet you still
Choose the path
Are you blind?
To the fact that you’re not rated?
Open your eyes
Open wide
You’re worth so much more
To the world
To yourself
Self worth
Self love
Learn to master it
I said do you wanna be happy?
Do you wanna be free?
Close the chapter
Sign it off
Burn the book
Burn the bride
Look around
See what’s left
Build your path
Live it full
Sorry, I’ve been going through some shit these past couple of months and I’ve been trying to understand things and where I stand, where my place is. I’ve lost touch, writing doesn’t come as easy anymore so these are pieces I’ve been trying to complete.
Love is nothing without respect
Love is nothing without care
Love is nothing without compromise
Love is nothing without sacrifices
People are put in your life to slow you down, to distract you from what is truly important. They come in the image of something you’ve always wanted, something you currently yearn for & then they penetrate deep into you and turn your insides out, don’t let em taint your soul.
Keep shining bright, stay true to yourself, don’t lose yourself because of them. Don’t forget who you are.
You’re more than capable, you’re crafted by God, your abilities are infinite. Don’t let them stop you, they can’t stop you, you were made for this, born for this, shaped for this. It’s yours, only if you want it to be.
This is for you
My brother
I know life is hard right now
Things don’t make sense
Why me
Why us
I know it’s running through your mind
I know we never talk about it anymore
I don’t know how to ask you
But I know you’re reading this
I hope everyone pulls through
I know everything will be fine
And no matter what
I’ll still be here
I might not act like the big brother you need me to be
But we’ll forever be family
Don’t you ever forget
I’m trying not to write about bullshit, I’m trying not to give power to situations that occur around me by allowing them to fill up my precious notes app. I’m trying to be grown, I’m trying to find myself again.
I’m tryna find myself
I’m searching deep for Quam
I read about his teachings
They said if I let him in
Then my dreams will unlock
These walls shouldn’t confine me
Wake up
Look in the mirror and speak into my day
I need to look beyond this
Growth flows like water
I’ll just wait at the dock
And by the way
Your tongue is mighty powerful
Watch how you use it
I don’t care much for your opinions
Imma find more light to shed
Running out of seeds
Tryna find deeper parts of me
The journey of self exploration never ends
They think they know me
No you know the old me
I’ve hatched from that shell you knew me in
Purified myself
I’m tryna find the light
Those are the words I’m tryna feed to the world
Keep it moving
On to the next one should be your motto
I’m tryna filter out the bullshit
The darkness won’t have me diseased I’m tryna hear the frequency
The vision has to be clearer
The youth in me demands it
I’m here navigating life, trying to find my puzzle pieces and find where they fit in the grand scale of things. I’m Still Here Ignoring Negative Energy (trying to). I’m here trying to find what makes sense. I’m here trying to find words from other people because my words don’t make sense to me anymore. I don’t know how to live by them so I don’t blame you if you don’t.
The self proclaimed chosen one, seed planter but at the end of the day I’m only human and so are you. Things will get out of hand, things will hurt, bridges will burn and you will look around and feel like you have nowhere else to go. Don’t fall, don’t slip, don’t jump, it gets easier, look around the corner, can you see that light coming towards you, that’s your calling, answer it.
Stronger than you know, soon you’ll realise the power you posses.
