(1) (2) (Reply) (Go Down)

Goodbye. by Safiaa(f): 1:38pm On Sep 11, 2017
Smile on the outside.
Darkness overtakes my mind
Words of discouragement
Swarming through my head
What is my purpose?
Is it better to be dead?
Wishing for everlasting joy
My pain gone, evacuated
My soul clean, uncontaminated
My spirit follows, emulating it

Tears flooding my path
Unable to view my craft
My loneliness takes avail
Of my brain under a spell
Unable to function coherently
As my agony has reached severity
Trying to paddle out
But i forever drown
In my pool of distress
With no power to be oppressed.

If life is worth living
Then there's something I'm missing
Am i destined to be sad?
Craving to obtain something I'll never have?
Living a life of uncertainty
The smoke in my lungs, burning heat.
My heart pumping,  irregularly
This pain is getting to the best of me.
My body shutting down unexpectedly
Life flashing right before my eyes.
Unable to say goodbye.

ETERNITY
(A remix of 'Goodbye' by Safiaa)


Pain on the inside.
Luminosity overtakes my soul
Flatters of encouragement
Overbloating my ego
What is my purpose?

Is it better to live?
Wishing for everlasting pain
My joy gone, diminished
My soul stained, dilapidated
My spirit stays, confusing it

Honesty flooding my path
Unable to view any wrong
My holiness takes avail
Of my emotions which are unchained
Unable to slander hypocritically
As my insanity reaches its zenith
Trying to wiggle through
But I still appear cool
In my pool of self-righteousness
With no desire to be redefined.

If death is worth dying
Then there's someone I'd be meeting
Am I destined to be mad?
Craving to understand somethings that'll never make sense?
Living a life of piety
The fire in my heart, blowing hot.
My breath gasping, irregularly
This goal is getting ahead of me.
My evolution has commenced spontaneously
Vanity flashing right before my heart.
Unable to say get lost.

There's one fine thread by Safiaa, the op, that I would plead the mods bring forward. It is a video on social experiments on Koreans and Nigerian music. I learnt a lot the day I watched it.

You might not be a poet (neither am I in my perception) but we all have creativity in us, our own picture of the world that we want to tell with words in our own way. Keep writing. smiley
