Still I Rise

By
 

Loud is the silence 
as I can hear my heart beat 
Fear and sorrow are all I feel 
Alone, though surrounded by many 
Anger and his brother, hatred, 
are all they show 
I blame them not as I 
incited my own fiasco 
Giving wings to scoffers to soar 


Uncertain of what today sees in me 
Wondering what tomorrow thinks of me 
I take solace in my paper and pen 
Life still remains, so does hope 
Drowning in a pool of regret 
I realise I am my only lifeguard 


I sat, reminiscing on my awful past 
Wishing I had a better present 
Hopeful still, for the future 
has many days in it 
Awesome days are all I see ahead

 


Rocky has been the path 
Yes, I have fallen but still I rise 
I fell but my legs remain unbroken 
I wiped sorrow’s dust off my 
behind as I rose from failure’s ground 
And took the first step to my 
successful tomorrow

Oh! I thought I knew you! Till I realized I didn't know me You changed me Then left me clueless

In my world
We were just three
In my world
I was King


In my world
My bones communicated with my mind
Twisting and breaking without hurting
The stage was my palace
The audience, my people


In my world
Dance was life
Casting away my cares
as I moved to every beat



In my world
We were just three
The DJ, my audience and I


In my world
Dance was life
Music was breath


In that world
I lost my balance
And broke my cord,

My 25 25

Hello Deelivians! I trust you’re doing great. I’ve missed youuu 😘
It’s my 25th birthday! Whoop whoop! In the last 365 days, I have come to learn a lot about myself. Earlier this year till recently, I had to deal with a lot of unpleasant happenings. That’s pretty normal, right? Life is full of ups and downs. The downs this ldast year of my life ehn! No be beans. I even had a mental challenge for a while about 2 months ago (don’t ask), but I thank God for good people that SLAPPED it out of me. However, something super duper exciting happened to me early in January though. Hehe, again, don’t ask. 
To foster positive thinking and to learn more about myself and make me happy, I asked 25 people (male, female, teens, young adults, close people, people I’ve never met, etc) to tell me what they like about me. I chose 25 because I’m clocking 25,lol. This is a sort of feedback and personal behavioral evaluation. What to do with what I gathered? I will learn, know what good traits people think I h…
