FLAME OF LIES

 

In the flame
of your lies
I burned.
I watched you
rip me off like
a band aid.
With betrayal sealed
up on your lips
you peeled me slowly
layer by layer.

Misonzi yachimwemwe idatsikira mmasaya mwa Sitelia kuchoka mmaso mwake. Sadathe kukhulupirira kuti loto lake lakwaniritsidwa. Zinali ngati kuti ali mtulo ndipo ali kulota.

STRETCHING MY FAITH

  As I step into this new month, I stretch my faith beyond what I can see, believing in the power of your greatest miracles and divine intervention. I refuse to be limited by the constraints of my own understanding, instead, I choose to trust in your sovereignty and goodness. Your word reminds me that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1), and I cling to this promise, knowing that you are faithful to fulfill your plans for my life. I refuse to be paralyzed by fear, for I know that it is not from you. Instead, I choose to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, knowing that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). I am not defined by my circumstances, but by my identity in you. I proclaim that I am a force to be reckoned with – not because of my own strength, but because of who I am in you. I have poured out, sacrific...

LET’S TALK ABOUT SUICIDE DISEASE TODAY!!

Society thinks someone who is suicidal is a person who is crying uncontrollably every moment, engaging in dangerous activities and constantly in a bad state. At times, it’s the complete opposite. Persons who are suicidal may not act it at all. Suicide is not selfish. It is normally death caused by the illness of depression. It is the final symptom, a final collapse under unbearable weight. I read somewhere that said; “ Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. it’s the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. It’s wanting friends but hate socialising. It’s wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It’s caring about everything then caring about nothing. It’s feeling everything at once then feeling paralyzingly numb.” Many people who suffer with poor mental health do actually reach out and are either ignored, fobbed off with high dosage medications or put on waiting lists for months. Such scenarios have a probability of leading on...

AWAKENING: STORIES UNTOLD, STORIES UNHEARD AND STORIES UNREAD

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember all the words you like to say behind closed doors. She whispered in my ear “I take you as you are and you will be. I won’t try to change you but I will ride out change with you. I see you and I will never ask you to be less or more.” With words so charming and full of meaning, that’s how she destroyed me. I have been awed and terrified by the experience of being in love to the extent that when it’s love, I’d rather close the book and put it back on the shelf. I do not know how to hate no matter how much I have been wronged. I met Tuseke when I had gone for my usual check-up at the hospital. She was there to visit her grandmother who was gravely ill and on admission. She had asked for directions to get to the elderly female ward, that was just the same way to Doctor Mayepi’s office. My all time go to health practitioner. We walked hand in hand and talked about a few things on science and medicine. She hated being around the hosp...

UNRAVELLED

As you weave the fragments of your heart back into place, May you breathe in grace with every step, and space To forgive the missteps, the wrong turns taken deep, And find the peace that's been waiting, the love you've kept asleep. May the weight of yesterday's shadows lift, and the light Of self-worth illuminate the paths you take tonight, May you unclench your fists from guilt's heavy chain, And let go of the whispers that said you're to blame. In the silence, may you hear the beat of your own heart, A rhythm that knows you're worthy, a brand new start, May you untangle the threads of shame and regret, And find the beauty in the lessons you've yet to forget. As you piece things back together, may your soul find rest, May the acceptance you've sought be the balm to your breast, May you rise, reborn, like the stars in the morning light, And shine with the knowledge that you are, and always will be, alright
