It was the first time.
The first time I got rejected.
Unexpected, it broke me apart.
It felt like a thousand stones weighing
down my heart.
She said no.
Even though she knew
it was my favourite choclate bar.
Don’t seek what you don’t have instead see what you still have. Be grateful because you are blessed.
It took a moment to say ‘I love you’ but it took a lifetime to realise what true love was.
Wars are never won
because they are always
devastating, leaving behind
fruitless success to be
adorned by the tears of
the bereaved.
Even when the trophies
marked the success in my
life, they were not the
fruit of my dreams.
I stared into the night
The stars seemed nigh
And they shined brighter
Like God was showering glitter trying to lull me,
For the tears I effused profusely
