MY HEART REFUSES TO BREAK
I am pretty sure you left with a smile wide on your face, feeling like a hero deep down, believing you have finally brought down the huge tower. You sang and danced songs of triumph that you have finally shattered my heart into a million pieces. Well, are you sure? Are you sure i am out here crying myself to sleep? Are you sure i am not eating, drinking or moving on with my life? Well, i got news. My heart here refuses to break, my eyes refuse to tear and my waist refuses to bow. You thought your actions today would tame my horse? It doesn’t matter how much you cheated or played my heart. It doesn’t matter how many times you pledged your love and your care, it doesn’t matter how much i fell for your trick. All i’d like you to know is that my heart refuses to break. Though you walked out of my door and my life, though i loved you to heaven and back, my heart refuses to break. I’ll not give you the pleasure of seeing me crying or even disturbed. I won’t show you how weak and broken you have left me. I won’t let you gloat over your victory on me. I want you to hide in shame when you see me pass. I want jealousy to break you apart when you see me with someone new tomorrow. I want to show you all you did has not even in the least affected me. I want to show you that my heart refuses to break and never will.

If we must die If we must die, let it not be like cows in the slaughter, walking willingly into the bloodbaths, too meek to resist and too trusting to argue. Let us die like buffaloes in a lion chase or ants in a midday march. Let us die like termites in search of freedom in a hostile world. If we must die, let it not be like birds caught in storm or a deer by a hunter’s spear. Let it not be like foxes caught in traps or flies landing on fire. If we must die, let our death not be told to those with faint hearts and loud wails. Let it not be known by those women who know not to keep their mouth shut. Let it not be told to those frail and on the brink lest they tilt over. If we must die, let the news be hushed and kept silent. Let everyone be told that we refused to be vanquished, that the flame refused to be extinguished. Let them be told that it is not graves but a mound full of seeds and flowers. Lord, if we must die, let us waft out into your presence like sacred incense. Send a ch

Where did you go? I am a walking carcass hoping for a wind strong enough to carry me away, a rain harsh enough to dissolve me into a lump of soil. If I could erase all these memories and go back to the days before I met you, I would. But how sad that I roll in torture during the night and burn during the day. Tell me, old friend, you who made me feel special and important, where did the wind take you? Should I cry for time that conspired against us or should I let you shoulder the burden? I have been reduced into a mess of tears and regret. I have lost my trust and my confidence, come to me, you who gave me strength and take me with you. Tell me I was dreaming and tuck me back to sleep. Smother me with the pillow so I will not wake from this, for what is life, when she that I adored and loved in equal measure walked out on me? Look at me now as I wade knee deep in mud and slime, look at me as I stretch my hands to take you back but oh how far away you are. Come messiah, before

Blandness Many times you have let it be, that anger has blinded your eyes and ire has taken over your life. You have embraced sorrow for so long, and you have stayed too long in your bed of grief, that you remember no more what it feels to be happy. You have ceased to live, and life has long left you. You were a bee, but you have long convinced yourself that you are a fly. Oh son, you have allowed death to rule your soul. You have allowed darkness to carry a sceptre, and declare itself king in the kingdom of your being. You have been chained to a post, by an imaginary rope, and you have been held back by your own fear, like a dog without a chain, but still lies around the chaining post. You have closed the doors and the windows and allowed the smoke to sail into your heart. You have broken all the mirrors because when you look at them you see not the scar on your face but that in your heart, but oh, they do not lie. Count not the graveyards lest they sprout outside in your yard. Do no
