BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Bonjoru Rejoice

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

I once walked the streets of solemnity, Wondering why people preferred busy buzzes. I thought those who talked loudly, Even to someone right beside them, Wanted others to hear their every saying. I found those who liked to go out, Impossible to understand. I saw people who dressed up, Even to run a simple errand, As attention-seekers. They weren't my favorites. But people who kept to themselves, Talked quietly, Walked carefully, Listened more than they spoke, And wore clothes with moderation...

IDENTITY CRISIS

Bonjoru Rejoice

IDENTITY CRISIS

When I see people change over time, Because of various factors— New responsibilities, New identities, New environments What it ignites in me is a sense of fear. Most times, they lose their originality Because of inherent hybridity. It is usually not a sight to excite. It makes me question if I'll ever have to give up myself For a new self, To wear the garment of a new person, Totally different, With new and different duties, A different identity, A new and different me An alien. #poetry

#poetry All the effort I put into forgetting you and bottling my emotions just crumbled with a picture of you. You must have been mine in another life. These feelings can't be just from this lifetime; they run too deep, churn too fast, and seep too deeply. I long for you in a way words can't describe. How can you evoke this avalanche of emotions in me from so far away? I pride myself on being a master of motion and emotion, yet you effortlessly undo a lifetime of control and discipline, turning ...

drop of affection

#poetry Initially, these tiny water droplets appeared to be of little consequence, but they have now become a profound entity, a powerful force that commands respect. How did this transformation occur, from a small puddle to a flowing stream, a winding river, and ultimately, to this incredibly vast ocean that you have become to me? How did you manage to permeate my universe and become an integral part of my existence? Your absence is unimaginable to me. SIMU

Shards of you

#poetry A pain that is not mine to feel, glances that are not mine to give, a jealousy that is not mine to show, a breeze that is not mine to feel, a song that is not mine to sing. I long and ache for you in ways you will never fully understand. Away from me, yet forever mine, I anchor deep in your soul, owning and possessing a part of you I will never let go. Slave of my emotions, slave to your motions. SIMU

The dream

#poetry Commit to your passions and dreams with every ounce of your being. While some individuals may deem you foolish or ridicule you, others will claim that you are misusing your time. In the darkest moments, people may lead you to question your path, choices, and resolve. The journey to success is marked by the remnants of forsaken dreams, lost hope, and abandoned aspirations. Although a single moment of success may appear instantaneous, it is often the result of months or years of meticulous...

#poetry The notion of human perfection is a myth. Each person harbors a conflicting duality of good and evil, with a pendulum perpetually swinging between the two. While some individuals attain inner peace and succeed in keeping their darker impulses under control, it is vital to acknowledge that these impulses are always lurking, poised to resurface at the slightest provocation. No individual surpasses another in inherent value. Even those who project an aura of calmness and maturity may be gra...

A soul in perpetual exploration. The more I expand my knowledge, the more I recognize the limitations of my comprehension, and paradoxically, the less I know, the more profo...

MADE OF GLASS

Bonjoru Rejoice

MADE OF GLASS

You're a soul made from delicate glass, Your body from sophisticated glass, Your mind from rare glass, and Your heart from soft glass. You were crafted with care, gently, softly, slowly, and made to perfection, An originality that cannot be cloned. Take care of yourself, because once you're broken, a duplicate cannot be manufactured. You'll lose your original flavor and be left with crumbs of who you were, and who you were made to be. Take care of yourself first, Take care of yourself always, Ta...

Bonjoru Rejoice

when the blindfold is cast down

The screens portrayed, a tale so bold, The rich as villains, with hearts of cold. Mean, proud, and oppressive, they'd have us believe, But is this narrative, a truth? In reality, it's often the ones in need, Who strive for power, and plant seeds of greed. They oppress their own, in a desperate quest, For superiority and a fleeting sense of authority. The poor, in their struggle, can become so cold, Their hearts hardened, their souls grown mean. They trample others, to rise above the pain, th...

Me and mine

A state of my feelings A state I cannot seem to comprehend A state I fear I might never comprehend And that's the issue: no one comprehends that about me. They see me, but they don't see me They hear me, but they don't hear me On the outside, I look like I have a great life, But my mind's constantly in chaos, And my thoughts are in turmoil. Sometimes I try to be open, I try to be honest, I try to be true to myself and others, But there's the fear of vulnerability, Of rejection, Of hurt, Of bet...

Anxiety— Letter A of Emotions

The ABC’s of emotions; *Anxiety* Take a deep breath in, take a deep breath out Breathe, calm down, breathe, calm down Just pray, have faith, be calm, don’t doubt You have to be stronger than your emotions, or else you’ll drown. Anxiety, my old friend, my partner, my shadow We met a couple of days ago. ‘Just breathe’, I chanted, my new mantra, my motto But you laughed in my face, my serenity you’d come to overthrow.

The arm and blade of the writing must move in unison. It must achieve a oneness, a seamless joining of expression, intent, and meaning. The edges must be smooth, not jagged or ragged. It must ...

True Radiance

True Radiance

#poetry The most prominent star ⭐️ isn’t always synonymous with being the brightest; the brightest star is, on occasion, situated in the least auspicious locations, its genuine radiance attenuated to a faint gleam. Those seeming to provide succor are, counterintuitively, the ones masking, blurring, and interfering with your luminescence. What appears salutary can, at times, conceal a latent disadvantage with an attendant benefit. SIMU.

A garden made for tiny hands

In a garden made for tiny hands, Where laughter sprouts like flowers, And stories bloom in crayon hues, A world begins… soft, safe, and bright. Today, we honor Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel, the dreamer who planted the first seeds of childhood wonder. In 1837, he opened the first Kindergarten in Germany… a garden for children, where play was not a pastime, but a pathway. To every child chasing butterflies of imagination, To every grown-up who remembers those sunlit days, We say: thank y...

They thought nails could silence the Word that shaped galaxies. They didn’t know— The cross wasn’t defeat... It was d...

SUICIDE: A Poem on Darkness, Survival, and Choosing to Stay

Born into a world that never asked, A silent scream behind every mask. The days grow heavy, the nights too long, A fragile heart, a broken song. Pain whispers softly, yet cuts so deep, A restless mind that cannot sleep. The mirror reflects a stranger’s face, Lost in the void, seeking a place. What if the stars were never meant to shine? What if this life was never truly mine? The thought of escape, a tempting call, To end the climb, to finally fall. But in the dark...
