Letting It ALL Burn!

I want to burn this addiction away
tie it all up and set it ablaze,
watch it burn up,
hear it scream like an excorsised demon,
I want to smell its flesh burn,
watch its blood turn black,
I want to smell its roasting body
and see smoke raise,
am tired of leaving under its control,
tired of falling every time I get up,
tonight I make a stand,
decide my freedom
over this sick addiction,
I can no longer hide it,
Nor stand it,
It has become my breath,
my very life.
NO! NO! NO!
I have come too far
to crumble here,
I have suffered long enough
to stay quiet any longer.
Tonight I stand my ground,
take my torch and
pour gas on my hay.
Am burning this up!
Burning all sins,
All joys, all satisfactions
That this addiction brings me.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
am not doing this anymore!.
Tonight am the last man standing.
Tonight am the one smiling.
Tonight am letting it all burn,
stay here, keep watch
till am sure its forever gone.
Tonight I seize being insecure,
Tonight I burn my skeletons
and this disgusting addiction,
Tonight am watching it burn,
Down to the very Ashes!

My Ex.

I texted her last night, told her of my idea, shared a simple truth we held so dear. I told her I miss her, every bit of her. from her soft kisses to warm cuddly affection, I admitted I needed her, though we are no longer together.

True, I miss her, the simple encounters to complicated situations. essence of love on the bed, passionate kisses on the balcony, she is the only one girl who could make a day like these worth trying to live, She knew the simple tricks to bend time and turn me on, from cuffing me to the bed, to pouring warm chocolate on my chest. I confess she is the only one girl, Who made love seem to revolve the world I told her I miss her, miss how she used to put on a costume and let me tear it off her. I m

The 99% Club

by Zoe Wanjiru on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 5:28pm Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King. Why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy? The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?" The man replied, " Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies." The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the servant's story, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has never been made part of The 99% Club." "The 99% Club? And what exactly is that?" the King inquired. The advisor replied, "
