EYES ON THE MARK

                                                                                       What happens to a dream deferred,  does it dry up  like a raisin in the sun                                                             - Langston  Hughes What is going on with you? why have you allowed yourself to believe that the deposit in you will always wait for you?  I look at you and it pains me because you have greatly failed to realize that you are an untapped resource full of potentials. The world is desperately waiting for your light to shine and when you decide to mask it, you are condemning ...

I have waited,  I have really waited For many days and nights Through many sunrise and sunsets  That I have lost pace with. I have always wondered And found myself lost In the world of my thoughts I have been shamed I have been mocked I have been chided All because I chose To wait for you And dance to the rhythm That we have been instructed. This day Seemed never to arrive Out of impatience People have broken themselves Into different souls And meshed with different bodies. I am so proud I waited for you I am so proud I am not a coward For pinning values on you That I refuse myself. This night We will teach ourselves The rhythm of love And move at our own pace Tonight I see not used good But a beautiful treasure. I see not an art in a hurry to act but an art whose beauty ages  like a fine wine. ...

I could tell you I hate you, but it will not  change a thing. I could ask you what made you betray me, but I'll never know. I wonder with reckless abandon and the brew of immeasurable pain why you had to steal the ray of sunshine that lit our lives with happiness. How I wish you knew the essence of the beautiful smile that will never be seen. How i wish you knew the beautiful sons and daughters that you cut their dreams before it could take shape. How I wish you knew the loving husband that you denied the privilege to feel the love and warmth of a beautiful wife. I wonder why you didn't delay her and make her miss her appointment on the flight that will make her fragile heart take flight. You fed her to the wolves of a reckless driver who knew not how privileged he was to have royalty in his bus. He toyed with you ...

Why do you hate me so much? it is a thought  that is beyond my reasoning I have asked you For so long a time and season. Why have you refused to see that I am beyond What your eyes can see. You see me everyday And denigrate me You call me names That my construct doesn't crave. All you see is point out my flaws But you never deemed it fit To acknowledge and praise my strength. You go about  telling everyone about my problems but you never deemed it fit to discuss  how to proffer solutions  to them. I take a look at you and you drown my heart in the pool full of pain. Why have you refused To give me chance to grow. I am blessed  beyond your wildest imaginations But all you do is curse me With reckless abandon. You have refused  on a consistent basis to deny me the modicum of respect which has been earned  with blood and sweat. ...

Dear Broken Soul, What is going on with you? I wonder why you give away your joy without putting up a fight to hold on to it. My heart is sad that you believe the lies and the construct that you allowed to be imposed on you with reckless abandon. Why have you believed the lies that you are worthless and you will never amount to any good in life.  Yes you have fallen a million times and yet you are still here trying to pick yourself up. You have lost count of the number of times that you have failed that you don't know what it feels like to succeed. Try to open your eyes and see things for yourself. I want you to stop seeking the validation of others let alone allowing their words to get to you. On the cross, Jesus wished the cup passed over him so I understand why you are deflated, broken and sad at this point in time but let this be your truth; a victory is not cherished neither is it valued unless there are pains, sacrifices and disappointments along the way before the...

You have killed it You have killed it  You have killed it. That beautiful idea That spoke to you In your dream You have killed it. You have killed it when you refuse To pen it down Immediately By saying you will When you wake up.

Why is your scar the only thing  you see? Even though  your heart is battered and left for shatter, all I see is perfection. Let me take you on a journey of self discovery. Let me show you all you have failed to see in yourself. You are a beautiful diamond whose glitter is hidden behind your scars masked to blind you. You think you are worthless but you are a priceless royalty to those who worth less. Make me your navigator to prevent your ship From sinking. Let me be your life saver to rescue you from drowning. Let me be your knight to shield you from harm Let me be the vessel that will make you whole. Let me be the medicine that will give you healing.
