Reeks of Desperation


She calls out in the street 
Of the highest ground she perks her wings
She raises her voice, and souls tremble
Feels like light is fading 
Darkness takes full form
Oh! This nagging depression

She roars out, 
How long will you run away from me? 
How long will you hide your vanity?
Fallen once, fallen twice you trade common sense for my delight
For whoever lives in fear and ignore wisdom fall into my trap
I’m insight of your words and visible in your actions for all
Confusing respect and desperation
Confusing need and want
Dredged in my cologne for everyone to smell from a mile
She reigns supreme

How far have you fallen?
Clouded in her embrace and a pinch of hypocrisy
Why not put yourself of the misery?
Your desperation for attention is what’s keeping you single 
Your desperation for opportunities is why you keep falling at the mercy of vultures
Your desperation to belong is why you no longer have an identity
Or remember what you stand for 
Slowly your quiet desperation turns into annoying peer-validated desperation
So deep in Reeks of Millennial desperation

Note: We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation. Whenever you can, always aim for inspiration to take massive responsibility of your personal development. – Jim John

    Nice piece of work and very insightful. Seems there is a thin line between a motive from inspiration and desperation.....

      Yeah that's where most fail. But I'm here to remind people the difference😊

#Signs It Is Time For You To Be Courageous & Take What You Want

📷 Jonathan Daniels "You can get in life what you have courage to ask for " - Oprah Winfrey When it comes to life don’t be humble and meek, take on whatever life gives you. There is a better way to take on life, that is, to be specific about what you want. As our Shona idiom goes, “Mwana asinga cheme anofira mumbereko” which simply translates to, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for.” It is the only en route to success and getting what you want. It costs zero dollars to take charge of your life, be assertive – combine your confidence with control. Trust me it is like a magnet to get attention, a step forward to getting what you want. Growing up I was a reserved and quiet person. Never asked for anything or complained. It was rooted in me and my way of life. Up until I realized that if I don’t ask for much I won’t get much. Your soul and mind will give precisely what you unconsciously tell it, nothing more or nothing less. Being a considerate soun

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and

Voices

Image
📸iamprosperk It’s a force to express out loud and unapologetically The moment of contentment with self Where you say what you feel and think Being comfortable talking bout’ the unthinkable, and the forbidden A canvas of powerful scenic images, constructs of silenced stories and opinions One art at a time building a generation of wild, confident young minds Small steps it may seem but through open-mindedness, stories are molded A map that shows a trail of being comfortable in your own skin A thousand words of discouragement crafted for good, through art Staying true to self, telling your story in your own words, in its rawest form Being heard. Being seen. Being experienced…………… “Having a Voice.” Creative. Unique. Raw. And Loud The lyrics that shouts from the mountain top the ills around us The pictures that capture our deepest darkest moments The canvas that paints nature to remind us how important it is The cocktail of words filled with encourag
