Reach into my mind, pull me from the depths.
It's quiet there, but I need to breathe.
I wasn't trying to slip away,
At least not yet.
Your demons can't swim if you drown them in acid.
Run around with scissors, cut myself on bad habits.

"I often wanted your attention, I often begged for it, I was desperate about having you around. I wanted you. No! I needed you cause I suddenly saw you as an essential in my life. I craved your presence, your scent. I just needed you here.
You only checke

I thought I saw you in a window. You were at your favourite café, drinking coffee with your hair in a bun. You had on your favourite sweater, and that big stupid grin I haven't seen in forever. You looked like you were having the time of your life. I

Her eyes run deeper than obsidian. A smooth jet black, like marble on the floor of a palace. They call to you; they beckon. They offer you the chance to lose yourself for a while, to gaze into the abyss and watch the world disappear around you. It's unsett

Scrubbing the floor wasn’t quite one of my favorite things to do. I had to do it anyway.
I would wash tons of clothes and the more I washed was actually the more I washed. I just wished I got enough food that could amount to the number of clothes I was

There was a time in my life I read and I never got an understanding of what I read. I tried. I wanted to know things but it seemed things didn’t want to know me.
My books and I weren’t quite friendly with each other. We always had a way of hating on ours

We were so close to the extent that I thought even goodbye couldn’t separate us.
All my life, everything I did she was there.
Whenever I cried, she was my pillow. When I fell, she always held me up. That’s my Momma I’m talking about….The lady who has a

I searched for warmth
More than my lamp could give
I longed for company
More than my shadow could be
In my heart I traveled
Though my feet barely moved

Singing the songs of my grandma
I felt as old
I didn't stray from home
Didn't even stray at a

I'm in love with you. In love with the way you talk, the way you laugh, the way the sunlight catches your hair. In love with the way you curl up next to me when it rains. The way you talk in whispers, like you don't want the clouds to hear you. I love how

I am very happy to be in this group and I hope to get the good things I expected.
May every body here be blessed

A peace nation with diversified cultures and more than a hundred tribes is being torn apart by tribalism.

A nation which is blessed by mineral resources which is supposed to nourish the nation has now become a tool for corruption and greed.

We thought we were good,
Tried to keep everyone happy
Cause they seemed to be all we had.
Made lots of sacrifices -
Anything to prove selflessness;
Even laid down our lives
So the others would not die.
But they died anyway.

We thought we could do

Open Letter to the crush who never said 'yes'

I’m fat because I want myself and my networth to be described with the same adjective.

When I was younger my best good Friend said to me “if you ever find someone sweet, never let her go” The only *sw

Can i be your daydream? Keep you calm when things get hectic in the day time? When the sun's too bright and the world's too loud, can i whisper in your ear? Can i take you somewhere quiet? Help you remember how to breathe? Its easy to forget sometimes, and

...and in that fleeting moment,

Beyond the screeching sound of my tyres against dry coal tar and the impression made afterwards;

Beyond the sudden loss of control, even with my hands gripping the wheel, and the helplessness of my feet depressing the
