So I Can Be

-

Die
Die a slow agonizing death
Die and bleed out all the memories, amicable gestures, and the "i love you"s
Be gone and let your wretched spirit not linger on and hover about
Die and i'll watch you kick and scream, searching for a lifeline,
anything to keep your damned soul from the claws from hell

Die and I infact, will hold your hand as you take your last breath,
as your chest contracts and retracts for the last time,
as your eyes begin to blur and you can taste the non-existance that becomes you

Bitter, isnt it?
Die,
Because your existance has served no greater purpose than to reek havoc in my life,
terrorise my heart, and disorganise my dreams
Die,
Because what you give is momentary happiness that makes me crave an eternal joy that i will never attain
Die and No, you will not be buried in a safety coffin, No

If you ever decide to resurrect yourself you will still die
Because the airtight casket in which you were buried does not allow for you to breath
There'll be no oxygen
Die,
So i can mourn you,
be in denial then be filled with anger and rage 
Because you are no more
Then beg and plead for you to live again
and then be consumed by a depression like no other 
and then finally accept you're gone

Die,
So i can live 
Suffocate,
So i can breathe 
Die,
So i can be

    'If you ever decide to resurrect yourself you will still die
    Because the airtight casket in which you were buried does not allow for you to breath
    There'll be no oxygen'
    this paragraph spoke so much volumes to my life!

Don't get me wrong, Men are trash, vile treacherous things that will betray even themselves.a Engineered to want or need women from the day their born. And so from the get go the ball has always been in our court. But we're to busy loathing ourselves and in competition with each other to notice. That discovery and not just the external locus of control has been the source of my many depressions. That all we do on this earth is hurt and be hurt, endure. Tell me what is the meaning of life,  How does the caterpillar metamorph if it is constantly in healing? How does the butterfly relish in kissing flowers when it will either pluck it's wings out? It's self or other animals and forces of nature will do it.  And that ladies and gentlemen is the struggle of the depressed. Futility. What is the point of trying, if the probability of your efforts being thwarted is identical to you succeeding? The metaphor I like using for my depressions...

The world is on a constant change. I guess we all know that by now. Staying focused is very important in this time and age. Because ive seen so many people slip from reality and fall into a endless dream of success. Too many of us procrastinate about life, we sing endless songs of making it big in this world. Not to say procrastinating is wrong, you can do it all day, week, fuck it, you can do it all year if you down for it. But dont slip. When you get an opportunity of doing something and doors open, strike while the iron is still hot. Cliché right? You've probably heard that shit more times than youve lived right? Wrong! Dont let the situations you find yourself in at this very moment be the ones that determine how the rest of your life will be. I think when one feels like the world has nothing to give or offer them, we instantaniously give up and give in to being failures. Always stay focused. What i mean is dont weaken your mental strength, neither should you take...

" You can not use apartheid as an excuse" Excuse me? I don't think you understand what you're saying... a little more than 2 decades later we are expected to forget apartheid forget that that you came to OUR country, OUR continent and had the audacity to deem us inferior. then you proceeded to take from us, in fact steal our livestock , our land, even our liberty, anything you could get your hands on you took from us. We are thieves? well I wonder where we learnt that from. Called us uncivilised, yet YOU had primitive minds that only knew to conquer and divide. Tell me how are we to forget, how you relentlessly tried to destroy our nation, our humanity. You made our ethnicity feel like sin, like the pigment of our skin made us sub-human. Called us vile but you used pseudo science to convince yourselves that you were better. You imposed your religion on us and when we rejected it, you called us Kafers and for years to follow you used such words to torment...
