whispers GLAMOROUS!
Alas!
who hears the tears gulped down
who sees the map of slaps and punches
who sees the scar of handcuffs
around the Espirit watch wrist
who sees the whip prints deep on the back
who sees the laden of needs weighing down the
shoulders
who sees the horror of lust lining the black eye
make-up
who hears the insults and curses blaring loud from
behind

#MCM/WCW all time
inseparable duo, love you long way
woke up like this with the bae
Y’all know those love tags on Instagram
who knows other boos
who stays the heated argument
who hears the door bangs
who hears the disconnected lines
who sees the spite and hate
who dries the damped pillows
who hears the sighs and sobs…..
Stretchy green veins and dazed eyes
hot temples of the head and cold limbs
itchy skin and trembling fingers
stained teeth and patched feet
coarse voice and oozing buccal
blame the drunk and curse the drugs
Junkie is what you see….!
who sees the lone soul
who feels the emptied spirit
who stood the grief
who dug the grave
who sees the strands of truth
who sees purity through the haze
who once read the open book…..
Pale face and mute lips
virgin hair and unpierced ear lobes
innocent body all wrapped in skirts
serene voice like infant’s cackle
Godly smile like sunset….
who sees the shielded mind
who sees the ripping flesh
who sees the abused…..
Hope these entire phrases sum up to make a meaning to you?

Glossy lips

What do you see…? Lol
Can bet I don’t look one millionth of what I’ve been through. Let’s thank God
Love Always!

ReplyDeleteWe sure all got some battles we are masquerading from the rest of the World. A typical example is Rio Ferdinand - who woulda thought he had a wife who was dying of cancer with the kinda persona he put up in the public and social media? We can only hope and pray our struggles don't become our identity.
I saw me vividly in the writeup! The particular paragraph where I am portrayed is what I'd rather not say. Great piece as usual b
