THE TALENTED

I am talent
Discreet under riots
Brighter with a furnace
Moved by little
Entitled to many
Sharing dreams of the future
Brighter than a politicians present salary burnt up.

I am talent
Weakened by little
Loving the whinning masses
Claps aloud
Dreams alike
I like to please
A crowd that makes my dreams alive
Bringing out me
Bringing in we

I am talent
Molded by many
Greatness they strive to bring out in me
Mistakes I shake to make
Ambition they always confide
Achievements we rejoice
A great cake to all enjoy
I AM TALENT.

A story of strange love

it was probably early last year, your where nothing but a name in my ears, soothing, smooth like wine to a bad stomach, you had me knees bent, heart raced, all in the name of love my dear, a love I barely understood, a love I barely spoke, if ever love was a language I think I would be dumb for the rest of the year, you were like the morning dew, perfect for the nose, exciting for my bare feet, but still I never thought having you would be a pleasing thing, you had a charm, the kind you see in twilight, like a dark tunnel, you were definitely my light, I had you on my mind like a broken record, you can never find the lyrics but the tune keeps playing in your head, only God knows how much I was praying for you, but yet here you were, at my feet, begging for me to open up, and yet all I could really open was my mouth, not to profess my love, but to remind you how imperfect i was, yet there you were, quick and ready to remind me that I definitely was perfect to y...

Am Just 21!

I was inspired to write Not because I was listening to Bob Marley and Laurie Hills But because am 21 and the society has decided I am African Originally not meant to be too educated One degree One certificate And I am the perfect wife for a 45 year old man Am lonely at 21 I am growing old at 21 I need babies soon at 21 Now this is why am getting serious bored of this world I mean am 21 I have just started understanding what I am A woman, yes With needs, yes But I still have standards Still have dreams I still want to tour Want to meet Oprah Maybe win an Oscar Or probably write a play Watch it make it to the Emmy's What is wrong with dreaming, I mean am only 21 Still very adventurous Still giggle when my own father gives me a complement I mean, am just 21 Let me enjoy.

Let's hide

Hold my hands let's take a trip, A trip far away we can maybe chill. You see, My stories have been my pain, My pain has been my lessons, Lessons that I surely haven't learnt, And pain unforgotten. I hide in this place called a smile, Pretend all is but a ride, A rollercoaster, Yes! But am not to blame. In a world where success gets you friends, Internet gets you love, Education gets you a job, And the air makes you sick, I have no option but to hide, Hide in this place called a smile. When am asked if am crying, I wipe my face and yell, Where's the party at? Am not trying to let anyone in my space, I can't trust them, They! They have a way of breaking me, Using my love to their advantage, My need for company to their control, And now I built a wall, A wall behind this place, This place called a smile. Why are they so evil? Why don't they love the way I do? Why don't they see the things I see? Love in hate, Peace in war...
