UNCHAIN THIS HEART OF MINE
NOW
CUT AWAY THE CORDS THAT HOLD
HURTS AND UNFORGIVENESS
ALLOW ME TO LOVE AGAIN BEING
INTIMATE WITH YOU IS AN OPPORTUNITY I
NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
EVERY TIME I WASTE CONTEMPLATING
DELIBERATING SEEMS TO CAUSE ME IMMENSE PAIN
WHEN?....I HEAR YOU ASK
HAVE YOU NOT HEARD MY EARNEST REQUEST?
UNCHAIN MY HEART RIGHT NOW, I PLEAD
RELEASE ME TO LOVE ONCE MORE
DO NOT DELAY FOR I AM
ZEALOUS FOR YOU AND YOU ONLY.

I
want you to just for a minute to focus on the picture above......apart from who the famous person is....tell me what do you see?
This is one of my favourite pictures because it portrays someone who appears to be happy, self-confident, no doubt you can add more to this list.....
How many times have you seen photos of people, just like Jill, with warm smiles and something that says everything is just wonderful? Now read.....the poem below.
HAPPINESS
SOMETIMES I FEEL
THAT HAPPINESS
IS JUST A CONCEPT
IN THE
HUMAN MIND
AND FOR THOSE OF US
WHO LIVE
IN THE REAL WORLD
IT SEEMS
EVEN DIFFICULT
TO FIND
SOME SAY
IT’S LAUGHTER
A SMILE
WELL…
IT CAN BE FOUND
IN THOSE CONTEXT
HOWEVER,
IT ALWAYS LEADS ME
TO QUESTION
IS IT SOMETHING
THAT CAN
REALLY BE EXPRESSED?
IT’S SOMETHING THAT
I YEARN FOR
SEARCH FOR
PRAY FOR
AND YET
WHAT’S EVEN MORE STRANGE
ARE THE REMARKS
MADE AROUND ME
HOW IT’S WRITTEN
ON MY FACE!
HAPPINESS IS DEFINED
IN YET
SO MANY WAYS
BUT FOR NOW
I’LL JUST KEEP
HOPING
AND IN THE MEANTIME
COPING
TILL
NOT JUST A
GLIMPSE
BUT A PERRENIAL
EXPERIENCE OF THIS
PHENOMENON
TRANSLATES ITSELF
FROM
WITHIN THE RECESS
OF
MY HEAD
AND PENETRATE
THIS
STUBBORN
SAD
LONELY
THING
I CALL
MY LIFE
INSTEAD

Sometimes the very impression we give to the outside world......is not all what it seems, alot of us are hurting but are too frightened to let anyone see...just in case...they shun away from us...some of us have become professional performers and have become so use to wearing various masks for various occasions, to the point where we cannot even acknowledge our 'real' selves.
Tell me..what does happiness mean to you?
Tears fall from heaven as angels pause
And pay homage to their fallen comrade
No more rising sun or melodious tunes
To gaze upon or slowly move to
Slowly
Solemnly
They walked towards his lifeless shape
Hoping that one more breath he’d take
But alas
It was already written
That this was the way it was supposed to be
He took the fall
And he did it
Just for me…
Today
Tears fell from heaven
But unlike torrential rain
Concentrated on
Cleansing me from all the
Humiliation
And
Pain
Low self esteem
And
Shame
Giving the word Love
A new meaning
So that I could live again
Angels now stand in awe
Singing a new song
How their fallen comrade
Has come back to life
In this earthly
Vulnerable
Soul.
