dear humanity

dear humanity why do we fight amongst ourselves and wound each other with metaphorical daggers that miss  our heart, and instead puncture our lungs and cause us to labour out painful breaths that tinge memories with more than a pinch of salt? why can we not accept that everyone is equal regardless of skin, gender, …

wrapping 2019 up

Sup, it's your ghost of a girl, Kiya.So I thought I'd do a yearly wrap-up just so I can see how much I've progressed. Since I left school, it feels like time just blur, blur, blurs into an intangible mess. It's constantly juggling this and that with that and this, (anyone know what I mean?) …

the greatest sin of all

No one sees the pain we etch into the walls. Instead they see malnourished kids in distasteful conditions. They see tears of grief but don’t feel the pain of losing a mother, a father, a child to weapons of destruction. They imagine the pang of loss we must feel, but they don’t experience the aching …

wolves of confliction

there is a fairytale

there is a fairytale and it doesn't feature me; i've fallen victim to failure where there's no stargazing of ambition and no believing of the self. my mind is the thunder and the storm and the rain; it forgets about the sunshine and instead it remembers the hail. a walking contradiction a fullstop. where's the …

shine the light

just hold on

trying to heal yourself  using the same broken pieces  trying to restitch  wounds that open again and again  using salty tears and already weakened threads so what if I'm not everything I'm supposed to be  right now  whilst I'm trying  to savalge the best in me  when all that's coming to light  are the flaws …
