You are Nothing
When I look at you I see nothing
When I think of you nothing makes sense
The emptiness in my heart, it’s all because of you
Nothing defines everything you will ever be to me
The pain I felt...means nothing
The tears I cried... means nothing
The time I spent... means nothing
All are worthless because you were in them
I don’t regret anything though
Because we all learn from our mistakes
If I could be asked
What my favourite snack is?
It will definitely have to be a doughnut
Because it reminds me of you
I mean the whole in it reminds me of...
When I think of you nothing makes sense
The emptiness in my heart, it’s all because of you
Nothing defines everything you will ever be to me
The pain I felt...means nothing
The tears I cried... means nothing
The time I spent... means nothing
All are worthless because you were in them
I don’t regret anything though
Because we all learn from our mistakes
If I could be asked
What my favourite snack is?
It will definitely have to be a doughnut

You are Nothing
you are Nothing
When I look at you I see nothing
When I TRY to think about you nothing comes
Its blank...Its empty like nothing
Its nothing...Its Zero..I mean Zilch
The emptiness in my heart, it’s all because of you
I search for you... I see nothing...
I Got hold of it... you are there
Oh dear me... you wont be visible because You are "Nothing"
Nothing defines everything you will ever be to me
The pain I felt...means nothing
The tears I cried... means nothing
The time I spent... means nothing
All are worthless because...
When I look at you I see nothing

Family UNIT - U and I Together
Family UNIT - U and I Together
Unity is Unity because “U” “N” “I” are Together
“Y”?
Because together we make a unit
Because together we are a family
Because together we make a house a home
Together we are one...
Father and Mother I Love You
Now it’s a used to be
“U” “N” “I” are no longer together
“Y”?
Because U left me
Because U made a choice
That excludes me
And I am left in between like a nit
Like I don’t belong,
When “U” left
I lost my Identity...
My sense of belonging
Because Daddy you chose the world...
Unity is Unity because “U” “N” “I” are Together
“Y”?
Because together we make a unit
Because together we are a family
Because together we make a house a home
Together we are one...
Father and Mother I Love You
Now it’s a used to be
“U” “N” “I” are no longer together
“Y”?
Because U left me
Because U made a choice
That excludes me
And I am left in between like a nit
Like I don’t belong,
When “U” left
I lost my Identity...
My sense of belonging

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

Seasons for a reason
Every Season has a reason
There are seasons in life
Giving reasons to live
Each driven by an unavoidable change
Where hopes and expectations sometimes get shattered
Due to lack of experience or experiment went wrong
In all the seasons there are the old and the new,
It’s a never ending circle of life
Finding it Merciful or malicious...
Depends on how you accept change
Between the old and the new there is a space of uncertainty
Where we easily get lost
But through faith, hope and love we easily get found.
There is a season...

My God Cares
God...Cares!
My God Is, Was and Still to Be
My God Is, God of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
I need not worry about Yesterday because it is gone
I need not try to correct mistakes of yesterday because
They are of the past and should remain there
But I can remember, Know and be reminded of His Grace, Mercy and Love
From yesterday, today and tomorrow for He Is, Was and still to Be
I need not worry about tomorrow it doesn’t exist...
I need not plan for tomorrow for God has a proper plan for me to prosper
He Is ahead of me, He knows the end...

Not the beginning but the end
Not the beginning but the end, farewell
I am not angry anymore
And I don’t need to be.
I don’t want to be rude or arrogant to you so please don’t start with me.
Let the little love I have for you work to your advantage.
I never imagine myself hating you so please stop pestering
Please respect my wishes, not that you ever did.
You wanted my love, i gave it to you...
You wanted me out of your life, I left
I gave you what you needed abundantly and now you can’t handle it?
Don’t make it my problem, own it!
I was taught...

Good bye...
Goodbye...
I'm hurt.
I don't know what's happening with us.
I don't know if we're still together or not.
Is this how you break up?
Just lose all communications whatsoever?
If it is, then I must say that this is too immature.
I just wish you'd stand up, be a man and tell it exactly to my face.
Yes, I'd still be hurt, but then I would have closure.
Both of us will.
I know this is how you used to operate, you told me yourself.
Since I know that you would never give me the satisfaction of a closure...

Faith, Hope and Love ...all for you!!!
My thoughts are free to go anywhere,
But it's amazing how often they head in your direction.
Thinking about you gives me so much pleasure…giggling*
I wish and hope this is not a journey to our broken dream,
But, a dream comes true and its ending is “they lived happily ever after” like in fairytales.
I wish and hope that this is not a fairytale where everything will be imaginative
But a reality that everything wonderful we hoped for will end with an “Amen”…
I pray that our journey is filled with love more enough to conquer all trials and tribulations coming...

Not easy to accept
She has fear that she hopes she will overcome someday
And she always has a voice within that says it has to be done now.
You see, for her “Now” is so far away so much that she always holds onto tomorrow
And tomorrow never comes, disappointment attacks.
She knows the facts and reality but hold on to fiction and fantasy because it is easy.
Easy like he will come into her life, say one thing and mean another.
Reap what he never saw and leave her like a bad habit.
She never deals with her regrets because she fears reality.
For her, now, is forever and forever is...
And she always has a voice within that says it has to be done now.

All i Know is...
All I know is that, it was by choice that I let you in my life
But by force to let you go
All I ever wanted was to be yours forever
But like tomorrow, forever never comes
All I know is that my Love for you will never die
But Life has to go on for Love was never enough
And Love alone doesn’t make a relationship
All I know is that Love conquers all
And indeed it conquered me...as apart as we have grown I still Love you
All I know is that i don’t know how and why we let go of “us”…
But what I know now is that it is by choice that I let go... for I love you...
But by force to let you go
All I ever wanted was to be yours forever
But like tomorrow, forever never comes
All I know is that my Love for you will never die
But Life has to go on for Love was never enough
And Love alone doesn’t make a relationship
All I know is that Love conquers all
And indeed it conquered me...as apart as we have grown I still Love you
All I know is that i don’t know how and why we let go of “us”…
But what I know now is that it is by choice that I let go... for I love you...

Time Heals
Time heals...
There was a time in life when I had to stop for a while
And look back from yesterday, and weep silently...
Weep, not because of regrets
But because i am reassured a better tomorrow
Then came a time when I realised I must not worry but worship God...
I must stop crying but Laugh for God is Love...
I must not Complain... compare and compete myself
But complete myself by His words
For He said, “Come as you are”
Then, this time I know the peace and serenity in my heart is the completeness of His work...
Now i am Blessed...

Never alone again (Onalenna=God is with me)
I felt it…I puked
He confirmed it
“Oh!!!!! It’s true” I whispered
It’s there and he said “you are”
And I was… yeah!!! …..pregnant
As shocking as it sounded, it was amazing
As lonely as I felt, I was not alone
He said, in a calm and soft voice….”push…push”
I screamed…gave my whole life to it
I gave birth, I gave life…
He said “It’s a boy”
And I said….. “Onalenna”
He confirmed it
“Oh!!!!! It’s true” I whispered
It’s there and he said “you are”
And I was… yeah!!! …..pregnant
As shocking as it sounded, it was amazing
As lonely as I felt, I was not alone

I screamed…gave my whole life to it

And I said….. “Onalenna”
