So it is really over
What you hoped for
And the blood of innocents runs around you
You laughed, didn't you?
My demon that wasn't bound
My pain that was a mystery before
My hatred and sorrow, the cause of such loss
And the blood of innocents staining my boots
Blood of my brother on my hands
My face that did not know hate or horror
My scars that were not there
So is it really over
This crime you insisted on creating
This life you were bent on destroying
The river mix of diluted blood
You were so persistent
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry I was the monster
You chose to make
What you hoped for
And the blood of innocents runs around you
You laughed, didn't you?
My demon that wasn't bound
My pain that was a mystery before
My hatred and sorrow, the cause of such loss
And the blood of innocents staining my boots
Blood of my brother on my hands
My face that did not know hate or horror
My scars that were not there
So is it really over
This crime you insisted on creating
This life you were bent on destroying
The river mix of diluted blood
You were so persistent
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry I was the monster
You chose to make
To tear at my own wounds just as they begin to scab.
I apologize, to every soul I know, I'm sorry I was ever born.
There's words on my tongue, but I am tied, I want to say more.
Caved out by what I thought was right, maybe I should think for once.
Just for myself and no one else, but I myself am just a dunce.
I have been denied, and I know I have so many times forgotten.
Forgotten who I was and anyone I could ever be. I feel so rotten.
Because this once, this once you've asked something of me,
I can't hold on any longer, I want to be set free.
I feel this light grip of mine slipping, I'm giving in finally.
It hurts my heart to stop when there's finally someone who thinks highly.
Highly of this little me that can't stop living in a daydream.
This is my paradise, my sweet escape, but I've been awoken by the scream.
The scream of my soul as it cries for forgiveness it can't have.
Cries and drown in the only emotions it has, picking at my old scabs.
I am a conundrum, filled to the brim with contradictions.
Take a slice of me, and there you'll find all my self restrictions.
The ones I've crammed down my own throat, hoping to stay afloat.
Even though I can't, I watch the world come down and gloat.
I am a failure, and nothing more. A pain and regret and nothing else.
Each time I fail I imprison myself in a cage that melts.
Melts so I may sink into a ghastly death and find a way to hide.
Hide from everything that kills and corrupts me. Corrupts the me inside.
"A Wormhole to Nowhere"
Nobody would notice if I was dead
Just another faceless shadow that blew off his head
No reason to kill me when there’s no one who’ll care
The vacancy light burned out on a heart with nothing to share
The last thing I need is sex tethered on a noose already frayed
Attached to a lover who is cold and afraid
That is looking for heroes to save her from being lonely
When all I can offer is an echo of her cursed destiny
Alone is alone even if you were right here with me
My soul is a black hole from which you’ll never break free
Sucked into my dark world of passion and pain
Where love becomes tear drops hat fall like the rain
Bonded together with rusty shackles and chains
Cloaked beneath sheets soaked with deep auburn stains
A mind becomes haunted with its own demons and snakes
More deeply concealed under each scar that it makes
To hide what it thinks no lover will find
That two hearts in darkness are just two hearts gone blind

"I Give Up, I Quit, Just Let Me Go"
It's hard to smile, it's hard to laugh
When the only thing worth laughing at
Is my miserable fucking life
Filled with nothing and drenched with fat
It's hard to see in the darkness
That surrounds me everywhere I go
I close my eyes and embrace death
For love's embrace I'll never know
It's hard to love without a heart
I gave mine away so long ago
Now she is someone else’s wife
And I'm no one you'd want to know
It's hard to want without desire
I don't give a damn any more
I'd rather quit this empty life
And pass through Hades open door
It's hard to know what love is
When no one has ever loved me
Don't bother trying to save my life
A soul not worth taking for free
It's impossible to save
Not even Jesus Christ will save me
From throwing away this waste of life
That's always been my destiny

The #300 Chibok girls (#BringBackOurGirls)
The mystery of fate is vile and glamourous
To the fortunate, the grandure is bliss
To the ill, you'd better wish for death at the inception of your zodiac sign
They waved their loved ones with the hope of seeing them in the next few hours
Smiles like never ending- oh gosh......
How will you smile your last if you knew it was???
I'd wander why teenagers will be the scape goats for the Nations political failures
How on earth can #300 girls be kidnapped from a school?
I still can't believe this truth, but it's self deceptive if I claim it's false
#BringBackOurGirls
The tears of pains groans in my eyelids
The grief of my heart howls from my throat
My neck swollen like a frog in a helpless vexed mood
Sorrow the new community of the kidnapped kids parents
#BringBackOurGirls
They got abducted by an evil sect
Oh My God!!!
They are now sex slaves
Do they feed well again?
They've been abused in every sense
The gorvernment kept silient
The International Organisations are lips sealed
These girls have been converted to a religion against their will
Some have been killed as samples to those that refuse to comply
They are now trained as insurgent
Some have now come back to our schools; disguised as students to kill their fellow teens
They've lost their consciences too
They're now heartless like their abductors
#BringBackOurGirls
I know they wanna come back home
I know they await freedom
But how is that possible if the only thing we can do is to carry hash tagged papers #BringBackOurGirls?
Imagine if any of 'em was your
Daughter,
Sister,
Niece
Or your ward,
Will you just sit, fold your arms and carry papers around #BringBackOurGirls while they go through hell on earth in #SambisaForest?
The #300 chibok girls are still held captives for over six months till time of this write. Some have been killed, some have been forcefully used as suicide bombers
