Flirting With Conformity Part 2

Flirting With Conformity Part 2


I do not know why we have this

thing between us. A forbidden

union, ugly & engorged.

Hidden deep within

Your tongue plated with silver

whispers sweet things in my ear

Adorn me with words & phrases

that brings me comfort in my conformity.

Giving my ego that deep-tissue massage

entering into ecstasy of security within a group

Where I trade my autonomy for company 

Applaud me and give me a standing ovation

Treats me like the best show he has ever seen

We have been back, back, and forth, and forth

He has shown me the shortcuts,

a temporary happiness

There is even denial that it exists

But we just let it play it out

The company keeps me warm

But lately I have been feeling lonely 

I yearn to walk the room and still be myself

Be confident and relinquish fear of acceptance

But I will not stop if do not as well

We have to part ways, I have met adaptability

I really needed somebody, and adaptability

gave me a taste of my worth

I have come to know I do not have to trade 

myself

Having a voice and being a voice

is much more worthy of my pursuit

I choose agility.

To respond to change proactively

rather than acting in accordance with expectations

I bid you farewell

Goodbye my old love Conformity!

#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

Image
📷 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
