Special acknowledgment :  

I think after my family God took his time to craft and perfect my friends and their energies 🤞🏽these people make it loud that the love me at the same time they are so different and understanding 🤞🏽I honestly adore them and I wouldn’t trade anything with anyone for them”

——Welcome——

"The disconnect I have towards a lot of things is very paramount for this next phase of my life. I’m more aware of my faults , and I acknowledge that it takes only me to improve in that aspect. I’m ready to be guided ,corrected and advised . I’m aware of my power and the fact that I can be harsh in dealing with some situations -so , I imagine the impact my words can have before I say them .”

1. Alone but Grown  

Alone but grown

Alone but grown .

I had a lot to learn .

My fears to overcome .

My fear for darkness .

My fear to feel deeper than I ever felt .

It’s in this lonely place .

That I discover more about my being .

My passion, my habits and my sad trauma .

How one Sunday became a Sunday blue.

The day you left no note.

No warning no remorse .

That really pained me .

I thought we were happy .

Well I was .

You left and here I am feeling-

Alone but grown .

I am (sui ritual)

I am .

An heirloom of my past. The origin of disbelief and life’s tragedy. An insecure nun led by curiosity

An amazing friend,amazing motivation

To me, who am I ?

A hollow emotion lingering hoping for D day. Yes! the day. Counting it down

Living through memories of my childhood

The trauma

Amazing melodies and scents that draw me to my roots

“You’re okay?” He asks

I’m fine. Why? I scare you?

I overwhelm you ? To think I’m some emotionally weighted girl

Not for you?

It’s okay. They’ve left & you’re probably going to leave too

Once you I lead you to my dark place And we share grace just before we end our lives

You thanking the Lord for your life-Appreciating all the climaxes I’ve given you.  

The days you pleaded for me to make you a father. Oh yeah? Man those where amazing days

And now we share my grace

I thank my traumas

I thank my triggers

I thank you that you took me to parys for our final life party

Then we smoke

We’re going high daddy

Come take your rope

Step on that chair

Is it tight?

I repeat the same process

We both climb

We promise each other that we’ll love each other still

We’re hurt

He’s bisexual

We both are

We deal with lack of acceptance

Now, let’s end all this

It’s amazing

We love each other

Still

Even in our dying days.

2. We are

We’re all working on ourselves! Sometimes we slip up. Sometimes we do things we vowed to never do . It’s not that we aren’t serious about our intentions. It’s because of the hardships we encounter in this journey of change that make us think that “maybe I was okay just where I was”It’s hurting yes! And as for me, I’ve realised how it’s always me hurting myself.As a human being , you must remember that as long as you live under the sun - you’re going to be influenced (positively/negatively). We are pressured and because of that ? We find ways to escape it by giving in or generally being nonchalant about our lives . Not willing to improve, not willing to change.

"The key is to forever add fuel to your mind as it is the generator of your being. Always be learning & equipping your power house, you’ll reap great benefits ❤️”  

-Tsholofelo Rangwaga  

Remember that : Not everything is bad for us, it’s how a person perceives it when they are challenged.

“As we speak to our anxious hearts with our eyes closed we pose a question of “what do you need, your feelings are valid and I am listening to your every request.” Slowly inhaling through our nose and exhaling through our mouth. Taking very gentle breaths and loosening up as we open our eyes to face the real world."

3.

I leave my room messy just for the days I don’t feel like getting out of bed.

I leave my room untidy for such days

Where I’m not myself

Days that make me question my journey


I leave my room just a little messy

For , when I’m not feeling like my self

I stare at that pile of clothes and it reminds me


It reminds me of my hollow heart

The dirt on my shoes from the rain

Reminding me of the many dirty sheets

I - I’ve slept in

The soaked socks

Remind me of how pleasant men loved this box

They adore it even when it isn’t necessary

Yup I leave my room a mess

So it can be the metaphor of my life

The canvas of my life

Depicted in the unsureness of my mood

The remnants of sadness

Dripping just like my lotion from my toilet bag

I don’t understand why

But i leave my room a mess for a reason .

Messy room part 2

Part 2 of a messy room

When I finally choose myself

I pack my clothes nicely

No longer reminding me of my heart

Instead packing them resembles my healing

Carefully selecting them

Shows me how specific I am in choosing my peace

Color coordinating them

Then being reminded of how dirty my heart once was

It is during this time that I appreciate my father

Oh Lord , you saved me .

From the heavy burdened place

To a tidy place

Less crowded

Just me , alone

With my thoughts

I’m in so much awe

Ready to tidy up my emotions

Creating peace within myself ❤️

Love facade

I thought I knew


What was love ...

An emotion that was too deep to explore an amazing sound you sparked in my being. How amazing? An insurmountable feeling

An amazing seasing I was sure to enjoy.Was the affection worth me staying ?

Was it true love to being physically beaten ? Was it worth it to stay and feel his worth everything I’ve got to offer. I’m a good enough , I asked ? Universe made me believe he was the one yet it wasn’t easy to not be myself within the “true love” I was offered.

Is it worth it ? Who has the answer , myself , but I don’t know it , I’m as confused as a new born .

Lonely

In this this space where my emotions are free floating.Like the Rastafarian after a long hash session. This was my fear. You left a note a promised you’ll return

Covid happen and now we’re apart. It’s been six months and I’ve even forgotten how your embrace feels.To be warm in your arms.To be complimented by you. That will never happen though

…you went for quarantine

…you never returned back to me

No chance to bury you

You left me-

Lonely.
