Lend Me Your Height!

In Her Thoughts: Lend Me Your Height!


I’m staring at this page

It’s been a while

I divorced the mirror

I can’t stand the view

It confronts me

And that’s a no.


I see an image

A reflection of living on the edge

Pain at the tip of my eyes

Tired of holding this river

Heavy on demons

Being strong but broken inside

Ouch, it hurts right now.


Nobody knows my pain

But

I have one more fight.


So…


Lend me your smile, days are gone I know not mine

Lend me your height, I’ve heard everything looks good from a birds view

Spirits high, a scenic view of highs

Not the marijuana high, but a hopeful view undiluted by lows

I want to be high all the time, please lend me your height for this climb.


Today it hurts, but the sun will rise and we will try again.

Be Straight Up With Me Or Walk!

📸the.photographer.official Have you ever met people who are just not truthful? From the smallest things, like what’s your plan really? Even the simplest question like, what do you do for fun? I don’t know whether it’s the need to impress or insecurity that my answer won’t measure up to the next person’s expectations? At first, it gave me chills, not the warm fuzzy goosebumps but the cringe that literally gives one an upset stomach. I was filled with so many questions, still is, and the reason why I’m writing about it. My mind screams, my face frowns and my whole being escapes me, I can’t handle hearing people deprive themselves of their true self. What for? Is it really worth it? Many things are avoidable. Literally everything, everyone has a privilege of choice. This is what it’s like every time everyone chose to lie and not be straight up. This is what it’s like living with lies on your tongue, it’s a choice. It all comes down to choice or it's the demons one is battling with

Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs.

Framed Generation!

Judge: You being charged with counts of lazyness, entitlement, changing jobs like shoes, adrenaline filled junkies and a generation of no hope. How do you plead? Plea : Thank you your Honour for this opportunity. Firstly I feel like we surrounded by a glitter border; Looks good from the outside looking in, but all it is confinement in our thinking, ideas and entire existence; Of rules and expectations passed on from generation to generation; Stick to the know, a yearn for more is rebellion; A generation framed by our forefathers; constantly paying for their sins; Where corruption, violation of freedom of speech, graduates begging by the roadside and violation of human rights have been normalised; A curse of through painful toil we eat food from it the rest of our lives. Hands to mouth, hands to mouth, a routine we've only known; They ate the sour fruits, played with fire, gorged into our trust funds only for us to be called lazy and free spirits. Millenni
