Undo
Mistake
Only the dead ever dies
The macabre, gruesome, horrifying and most unsuitable
You thought
You knew me
I didn’t even
Know myself
What I am
Supposed to be
Supposed to do
My purpose here
In this life
And then I realized
None of us do
We make it all up
Interpret the signs
Dreams visions feelings
My intuition only leans
To what I originally thought
And then it started to
Snowball
Roll down the hill
Over Jack and Jill
And Janice
Snap crackle pop
And all the King’s men
Couldn’t put them back
Together again
They were left behind
To figure it all out
For themselves
Like a moth
Flying too close to the flame
Drawn to what we don’t need
Temptation and desire
Drawn to the flame
You burn yourself out
Rip your own wings off
Commit suicide
While you are still alive
Because only the dead ever dies
Sizzle crunch chomp
Don’t repeat the moth’s mistake
It is just a bad day
Not a bad life
I am blessed
In all ways
I can get it all
With perseverance
Not trying too hard
Not forcing it
Pinning it to the ground
My fists hitting your face
Until nothing remains
Not even your voice
I cut your vocal chords out
I wash the blood
From my hands
Somehow sometimes
It doesn’t seem to
Come clean
Forever stained
You thought you knew
What was good for me
In your own little head
I knew better
I knew you did nothing
For me
Only for you
I am
Complete understanding
No sounds now
Complete quiet
I did it on purpose
My bad
Personal Note:
My biggest secret is that I think thoughts I shouldn’t most of the time and sometimes I act on them. From the earliest I can remember and form coherent thoughts I was like this. Fantasizing about violence, torture and death really puts a smile on my face. Especially the ones that deserve it. My upbringing was traumatic and violent, but I don’t think it is the cause. Maybe a contributing factor. My mother knew and tried to teach me right from wrong. I know what I should do. She always believed my good side will prevail. I am not so sure.
Dumelang bohle!!! African Greetings!!! Please support me so I can continue to do what makes my spirit feel alive and feeds my soul; and that is to express myself through words and photos every day.
