SELF DISCOVERY

Bang!

The sound of the bullet leaving its chamber. The cold metal pierces through my head scrambling my skull, spluttering my brain on the dark alley wall. My eyes widen with the shock of my impending death when my body falls on the cold cement with a big thud. Coldness creeps over me, I try to say just one more word before I breathe my last, but all is lost as I chock, ready to expire into the next world. That is it. My life is over; I think only to wake up from the nightmare. The silky sheets of my bed were wrapped around my neck strangling me. 

HYPOCRITICAL WORLD

The world twirls in a hypocritical cycle

Choosing who to affect like a game of roulette

I have been a victim of such crime

A perpetrator of the same offence

It is what evolution teaches

ACHE

It throbbed without mercy

Informing her of its desire

The vein expanded at the ache

Releasing a powerful surge of blood

Overwhelming the brain

A LETTER TO GOD

Dear God,

Day in day out, years in years out, I come before you as your humble servant. Years go by but my faith in you is the same though my knowledge of you is greater. I am not perfect and I am not better than others for I am human thus a sinner. I ask you, lord, to forgive me for the wrongs I have done. Help me become a better person, to do right to both you and my neighbour. My letter to you is 

HOLLOW

He had choose well

His partner was fulfilling

He peaked and achieved his release

He basked in the thrill of the moment

MAKE UP

Morning came

Yesterday’s make up smudged

Like unwanted memories

Stained on my skin

I scrub my face

Yesterday's mascara clings on.

Bitter memories

Like remnants of the mascara

Heavy on my eyelashes

Circling my eyes

My eyes sting, I am sore

The mascara still clings on.

My eyelashes are mated

Refusing to part

Tears drip down

With memories of what I thought perfect

A glowing face

Lips turned into a permanent smile

It was what I dreamt of

The clinking of champagne glasses

The swishing of whiskey

The toasting to life, the euphoria

Meeting new people

The men, oh, the men.

I fell in love

Today, I’m out of it

Perfection desecrated

Beauty marred

I want it all gone

I want to apply a fresh new coat.
