Psychosis


Somethings in my life are to complex to give expression to
Somethings are too tense and tangled
I contemplate on reasons and questions, beliefs and griefs’

I keep them to my chest turning in my sleep
Like trinket, lockets or kolesnikovs

Cause at times they are too tender to surrender to time
And other times they haunt and encircle me like ghastly clay pigeons

I was told to die for what you love or love what you’d die for
Most times im engulfed in repressions in corners on cold floors

Relief feels like falling through air
I breakdown into tears
Like glass breaks into shards
Splintering my heart beyond repair

And I can’t even speak when I need to
At times I displace me when I need you

Cause somethings I can’t express or give expression to
Somethings I bottle in me to protect you

Those who love us most betray us the worst

Best Blessings

Weapons of mass construction

Africa is in my heartbeat 

A matrix for an issue

Christmas hugs warm smiles

A stampede rushing

Have you ever looked
