Today's my mother birthday, so here's a poem just for you mom

My Mother’

                                                                            

Most moms are special

But my mother is something genuine and precious

Her love stretches further that anything imaginable

She is just so incredible

She is outstanding, hardworking and incredibly amazing

Her ways and spirit is always so captivating

Even though sometimes things are not going right with her

She manages to put smiles on our faces, mom that makes you who you are

Words really can’t begin to describe how lucky we are to have you in our life

You’re our counselor, even though to others you might be a simple housewife

Mom you bring out the best in us, always making us aim for the stars

You are one of a kind and we’re truly honoured to call you ours

For my mom Deoranie Balkissoon

xoxo you're daughter

The Beast Within

I have this darkness buried deep within

I need to let out, not sure how to begin

It’s beneath the surface just waiting to break free

Once out it stays, even if it’s wild and beastly

This really dark chapter is taking over

Others see it too, it’s becoming difficult to cover

It feels perfect even though I know this could all go wrong

And I can’t fight it, this picture perfect person isn’t that strong

It feels bad but yet so very good

Like this lioness hidden under a pretty hood

When the time feels right, it’ll strike

Danger in full mode, this beast wasn’t born overnight

My Dark Place

I can’t control it

Neither can I quit

Call it a cry for help

Well maybe it just is

Surrounded by fear

That’s eating me up in more ways than one

Help may be too far out of reach

Or probably already gone

All I see is darkness, that’s buried in my soul

Arms that have withered, a heart that is cold

Eyes that see through lies

A monster in disguise

I can’t explain how it happened

But I’m not this good person

At least not any more

I become this creature behind a closed door

One that’s been banished

But wants karma in the game

One who wants closure

But won’t try to have it unless there’s pain

#RANDOMTHOUGHTS...

Lately it became so hard for me to express myself, the way I feel…like I normally do. Writing poems used to be my way of letting go, of truly expressing what’s inside my head but unfortunately it doesn’t help any more, I try to find the right words to say but it doesn’t exactly come out right, my rhymes are messed up and I somehow end up in this really dark place. It’s like even I don’t understand what’s going on right now.

The End

My world is shattered

Everything close to me became scattered

I can’t tell what direction the truth is coming from

My thoughts are literally on a run

Can’t win if you’re not a part of the competition

Fear became my favorite emotion

 The gap between faith and reality is almost more than a mile

But erase that frown, heads up, put on that big fake smile

Everything has it specific time

A time for laughter and a time for cries

Clearly nothing is as it seems

Dreams are not meant to come true, that’s all they are, just dreams
