Bleed

It seems in vain
When I feel this pain
Of the ground tearing through my veins
The blood I bled
Left stains of red
Leaving traces of me on earth
I can't swallow my pride
And watch you go

I cannot believe that you are gone
Got the tears streaming down my face
I'm begging don't leave me I'm so lost
Baby don't watch me bleed*2 alone
Don't watch me bleed

Scars in my soul
The heart you broke
Still thinks you can make it whole
So what you bruised me
My soul's what you killed
But guess what it doesn't matter
I can't swallow my pride
And watch you go

I cannot believe that you are gone
Got the tears streaming down my face
(Got my make up messed up on my face)
I'm begging don't leave me I'm so lost
Baby don't watch me bleed*2 alone
Don't watch me bleed

You took everything
That meant everything to me

I cannot believe that you are gone
Got my make up messed up on my face
I'm begging don't leave me I'm so lost
Baby don't watch me bleed*2 alone
Don't watch me bleed

Sick And Tired

Maybe there's only one reason I'm blocked. My inability to free my conscience of all the dark secrets I carry around with me everywhere I go. For the life of me, why isn't there even one soul I can share these with. Just to let it out and vent. Just to say it out loud and not repeat it in my head over and over because truth be told, it is driving me crazy.

Transparent

12:49am and I'm still awake. Thinking. Of all the things I became a part of and all the heartbreak and razor-sharp scrutiny I still walk through every passing day. And looking back, I can proudly say there's no other 25 year old who has faced so much in life with so much strength, perseverance and grace that I have shown in those trying times. There were nights when I'd awake with so much pain in my heart which, made me wonder how it was biologically possible for me to still be alive. To hurt in places I didn't even know existed inside me. And amid it all, I realise that I never, not even once, asked God to grand me death.

I cried when I needed to but surprisingly most times I found a smile on my face. I know not how but whenever those moments shone on me, I embraced them. And bit by bit, my smiles became real and came often without even trying. In my journey, I'm still a student of life and it's teaching me that everything happens for a reason. Every little thing that occurs is simply a part of something bigger than what it seems and regardless of how hurtful your situation is, if you peel off a few layers off of it, you may find that it is in fact, simply a blessing in disguise. Truth may be an absolute stranger but I have also learned not to fight one too many battles with time for all answers shall be unveiled when the time is right and all I did and still do is pray to God that he grants me patience.

I have also learned that you can't go through life with hang-ups. Deal with every problem armed with patience and if nothing seems to go your way, just leave it to God. The losses and the void you feel in your soul when you think of what could have been are simply signs that you are human. A human of blood and flesh and why would you even expect yourself to be immune to normal feelings? When sleep evades your nights endlessly and all you can do is think that God is not listening, how can you not look around you and count all of the little blessings?

I have learned the true meaning of what it is to selflessly love...to give yourself whole-heartedly into someone. It is an ugly cruise with no still waters and as much as every step is excruciating and blood is spilled, it is worth every drop. I learned the hard way never to let a problem to be solved be more important that a person to be loved. I know, I'm not this person, at least I wasn't. But having grown up and having dealt with tons of destructions, I am content with whatever little God has given me and as for what He took from me, I cannot fight Him. I may not understand it all yet, but I know when He wants me to have answers, He will let me know.

For everything that I had to pass through in the past academic year, I have no regrets. I have no hang-ups. Everything worked out the way it was meant to be. All my trials made me stronger than ever. My little sister is graduating, I'm so proud of her. As for me, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and I'm ready to rock this academic year. I am grateful to have such amazing people in my life, my mom, my grandma, my sis, my dad. And of course, Khotso.

This is gonna be FUN!!! :) :)

TRUE COLOURS

You can not live your life in fear of what could be. That will spin you off in a circle and before the end of it all, you're back where you started. Life is a series of surprises which are the reason we keep pushing forward, eager to at least possess a certain degree of control over our destinies and it can not always end up the way you want it to. If it did, where would be the fun in that?

True, some situations trap you in a magnetic field of self-doubt, and if while going through the pages of history you realise no one ever made it out alive, you may feel there is indeed no way out. But there always is. Only if you get out of your very own mental prison and explore that which no one ever tried. That which they all feared. You could find your answers in that forbidden trip of change. Finding success in life is achieved through facing your deepest fears.

If somebody tells you that you will fail,
you WILL fail if you believe them. It is not everyone in your life that wishes you the very best. Some of them just say you will fail because it scares them that you will succeed and best them. They see you as competition and they can not stomach the idea of you ever being more than they are. In the end it all melts down to one thing: Agenda.

Some of the very close people to you have been wishing for you to never make it. The very person whose shoulder you cry on could be patting your back with a smile. They might even have had a hand in the events that led to your misfortune, who knows? Whenever something goes right in your life, whoever is there, genuinely there will walk through it with you. They will not just utter the words "I'm happy for you" and never show their face again.

Those who do that can not stand to see you happy but once you hit rock bottom, they will be there all the time. Why? Because nothing gives them greater pleasure than seeing you at your lowest. People aren't always who they say they are. Friends could be enemies. Even family. Especially Family. Just be careful who you open up to. They could use it against you for their own gain. Just remember not to let anyone ever stand between you and your dreams/happiness.

Take Care
