Sorry Isn't Good Enough.

Enough.I have come to realise,
What a coward I've been.
Overwhelmed by the hype,
And teenage life,
That has slowly beaten me down.
I should have listened.
And I never should have said those things.
I'm sorry.

I was flicking back,
Through snapshots in my mind,
Trying to find a time,
I was happy.
I was shocked to find,
At the back of my mind,
The people I left behind.
And I'm sorry.

I became dismissive.
Fake smiles and dirty looks,
Were allies of mine.
They replaced you.
Your originality and quirks.
I swapped late night talks,
For cheap kicks.
And I'm sorry.

Call this my second attempt,
At being a better person.
But I yearn for happiness,
And crave affection,
Just like I always did.
This is my confession,
A chance at redemption,
And I'm sorry.

My hypocrisy is a talent.
I cannot say anything,
To justify my actions,
And callous words.
Blinded by petty drama,
And fashion disasters.
Selfish doesn't come close,
And sorry isn't good enough.

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, "
