I chose to live today

When I woke up I wondered if,

today I’d take my leave,

everything just seemed to go wrong.

I thought of giving in,

no more coping or pretence,

took forever just to get out of bed.

But I chose to live today.

I picked a different way.

even when it all seems so wrong.

Yes I’ll make a different day.

I choose to breathe today.

Wont give in, give up or go down.

Yes I choose to live today,

and believe me when I say,

it’s harder than it seems to hold on.

So if you feel a different way,

think back to better days,

take my hand and choose to move on.

Paint On Our Plastic Smiles

Hurting again, tears running down; It is time that we cry no more. No one must know what we really feel At the deepest parts of our core. So let's put a mask over our feelings, No one needs to know that we're dying inside. Lock up everything that ever mattered; What is real is what we must hide. No one must know that we're falling apart, That our hearts break again each day. No one must know that we hold onto a bit of hope; Every little strand that comes our way. We must be the "Great Pretender" in life; Our job is to fool them all, To show them the smile we put on each day. They must never see us fall. We can paint on our plastic smiles, And tell them our little white lies. We can fake our joys and laughter As the tears threaten to fall from our eyes. We can cover up all our wounds, And put bandages over our hearts. We must conceal all that's inside, And not let them see that we're tearing apart. For no one really cares; In this life, we are all alone. So...

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. She has a boyfriend, but still, she is the only one girl who knows, the only one who can interpret love in every touch and single squeeze accompanied by a naughty giggle, She is the only one girl who can take me there, land me safely in paradise and erase my worries. 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...

More than the Bosom

1. Am a grown woman, 2. I will walk myself down the aisle, 3. Am a child of pain and paradise, 4. Of a lineage of heroines and warriors, 5. A child of mother earth 6. An African daughter, 7. Am a woman by birth 8. by love and by my strength, 9. My dark skin is toned by the earth 10. Life breathed into me by the rising sun, 11. I will tend fields with my child on my back, 12. I will close the deal in my heels and my skirt, 13. Am a woman by the breasts I bear, 14. The broad smile and lustful curves on my body, 15. Am a woman by spirit, 16. The strong one of God’s creation 17. We are born in the wind, 18. The whispers, 19. The cries of life, 20. In the palaces and shanties, 21. am a woman, 22. the scent of romance, 23. the cold brush of winter 24. the suffocating affection of the oceans, 25. am imperfect by any standards, 26. by beauty by burdens 27. by curse by blessing, 28. am a woman ™© Mwangi Njoroge.
