It's easy for people to remember the bad you did, but when asked a good deed of yours, they'll act as if they never knew you.

You can control your grades.

Alone
Like the gushing cold winter breeze that everyone avoids, I, myself and I am all alone.

Atmosphere
At most I feared people
Never wanting to be discovered
Hiding behind the loudness
And cheer
At most I feared society
Afraid to voice what
I truly felt so I
Nodded in agreement
At most I feared patriarchy
Never wanting to
Be submissive so
I disregarded them
At most I feared
My atmosphere
Wanting to be
At most sheer
Far away from the fear
Hoping it would never come near

Trust
What was the point of earning my trust if you were going to break it? I know nothing in this world makes sense, but I know one thing for sure. We do not work hard to gain something and destroy it the moment we get it.

And while we
Strive to leave
Footprints on
This earth
Let us be reminded
On how fragile
Footprints are
As they can be easily
Erased by lightest
Of showers

So than what is to live if it's not to have a collection of mistakes which one can use as a guideline for future reference.

Her love
Her love was her
willing to undoubtedly
wait for you knowing
you wouldn't come back
anytime soon
Her love was her
staying knowing
perfectly that you lied,
cheated and deceived her
Her love was her
building a mansion
for you in her heart
when you only deserved a room
Her love was her
willing to stay
despite the hurt
and empty promises
Her love was her
going against her
norms and beliefs
for you
Her love was her
staying when
everybody
else left
Her love was her
choosing you
wholeheartedly
knowing you won't
do the same

Afflictions inflicted to the heart are slow to fade, quick to re-emerge yet invisible to the slightest eye.

Adversities we suffer
Today will surely be
Reminisces of tomorrow
As we reap the fruits
Of our successes

MOTH
Matters of the
heart are tricky.
It's crazy how
people go from
"I can't live without you"
to strangers that can't
even look each other
in the eye when they cross paths

Melancholy
Today's mistakes
will be tomorrow's
thoughts and
the worries of
tomorrow will be
today's thoughts

You are of importance
To me because
Like the little sheet
That serves as a
Reminder of where to
Continue reading,
You actually remind
Me to make my mark
In this world.

Women
I am a woman
Loud and proud
Acclaimed in her own way
Beautiful in every sense
I am a woman
Brave and bold
Overcoming obstacles
Challenging life
I am a woman
Living and loving
Taming and taking
All that's bestowed upon her

Maybe
At times I like
To believe that
We were meant
To be together.
Maybe it's the
Way our silence
Speaks for itself
The way it perfectly
Articulates unsaid words,
Reaching out in a such
A way that it echoes
In another's heart
Or maybe it is the way
Our notion sets out a
Different motion each
Soon to be an emotion
Yet dumbfoundedly
Thinking about it,
It may be in these maybes
Because ultimately maybe
Means may we be,
Maybe.

Thoughts (again)
I started acting
On impulse of late
Just a free flow
Of words and
Thoughts that
Aren't ultimately
Connected yet make
Sense together.
Apart they are unfit
Yet together they fit
Which makes me
Conclude that they're
A one size fits all
After all everyone reading
This beautifully
Crafted mess
Is equally different,
Unique and spontaneous
Yeah, it really is a
One size fits all

Granny
How she walks
Proudly as ever
Being favored
By everyone she meets
Her stories of
Never ending hardship
Taught lessons never
To be forgotten
Wisdom she carried
Never depleted as
She fed us with
Knowledge so true and pure
It's never of
What she couldn't do
But of how
She can circumvent
And when our cries
From her beatings
Were perceived
As cruel and evil
She reminded
Us how amicable
They were in a form
Of love never to be forgotten

Sometimes I just disappear into the world of poetry and when I return, I bring back a masterpiece
