POETRY: The Mirror is a Liar

The mirror is a liar
It masks my truth
And reflects a lie.

It doesn't reveal
The beautiful scars I wear
From the fires
I conquered.

It doesn't reveal
The inner crevices
Of a broken heart
Left for shatter.

It doesn't reveal
How I conquered
The walls
my mind built
As an obstacle.

I am different.
The only truth
That matters is mine
That even my reflection
Will never see.

My Experience With Concussion (25/11/18)

Last night I found myself dazed, bruised, disillusioned and ultimately concussed after I had a supposed collision with a striker on the football field which I had no recollection of. The events that succeeded the occurrence is such which was grey and mind boggling as I tried to reconcile what really happened to me. I found myself on the sideline without knowing when and how I found myself there with people asking if I knew what really happened to me and I kept telling them I didn't know....

POETRY: The dilemma of a confused lover

I wonder why I gave room to foolishness When wisdom was knocking on my door. I gave you my very all Until I had nothing more to hold on to. I wonder why I didn't know how To fully express the emotions Cluttered in the aorta of my valve When a simple hi would have sufficed. I was falling head over heels When I should have stood tall Now I am all broken, sad and crushed beyond recognition. How could I ever forget The reflection of you Which was carved in my mind The first time I set my eyes On your beautiful face. The truth I held on to Was that you will be the one I have always dreamt about Every passing moment. Whose presence will fill me With endless joy and happiness. We started out as friends, My heart wanted more, But my mouth kept mute, I refused to listen To the notes of love Banging at the doorstep of my heart. I wanted to speak to you, Div...
