Once upon a dark night, A sprite wandered along the prisons of human finesse And met the most rejected and unhappy being the world had ever known. Appearing in human form, she tried to hide away before this being could lock his gaze on her. But it was rather too late… He found her... He found solace in her, Built a comfortable home, And made her bosom his resting place. Out of compassion, the sprite gave this forlorn creature a peak of her world. “My world is as dark as my soul Step into it and find light” she whispered. She showed him eye-numbing scenes of this world and beyond… Where happiness coincided with pain…. And formed a new indescribable ecstasy. He got drunk in her essence And slowly he forgot what it meant to be alone and sad. They travelled the world together… He called it celestial bliss. But with each waking moment he spent at her side, He knew the inevitable will happen. But it happened too soon. One day ...
You used to say I was beautiful... That I was strong and exuded incontestable grace You used to love all the scars of my heart And all the other things that made me ugly Yet, You whispered incessantly "You're all the woman I'll ever NEED" You filled my days with renewed hope and gave me the strength to pick up my dusty jewels. Your love enveloped my cold and darkened soul Your encouragement was healing to my broken wings. You cheered me on You nursed my wounds... and uplifted my dampened spirit. As time went by, I grew feathers on my wings And with a flicker and a flick, my spirit was re-ignited. And when my wings grew all the feathers it had lost, I began to soar so high up in the sky. Like an eagle I became strong Tenacious Fearless ...
What do you do with this cruel loneliness? When there's a vacuum in your soul and your alone is a mess? What do you do on cold harmattan nights, When self loathing and your facial muscles are engaged in a brutal fight? How do you break out of those towering walls Where you built your home and buried in it your heart's pulse? You're now dead to the world Can anyone, the clanking metals of your heart weld? Poor Soul! "'Maybe I'll go for a walk and clear my head you say" But deep within your darkest thoughts you silently pray That you never meet happy lovers or hear your heart resonate the truth Or else,you start a candid analysis of your life and your wasted youth. "Maybe I'll eat well and workout more So I gain the voluptuous body all the men adore" I hope you find hope in yourself when your body is sore Oh how you forget so quickly that self-acceptance is bae. And that Baby, you're perfect in every effing way...
