DARK EMOTIONS

• Olaoye Modupeoluwa Aisha

__________

I wallow in fear

As I'm left to live in darkness.

My heart cries silently 

For my world is different from yours.

Can't you read my feelings?

So you would know I'm shattered deep down.

I've  been broken a thousand times

That even the pieces can't be arranged.

Look into my eyes 

Not the tears lingering round my eyeball,

Notice my fear and pain,

That's hidden behind my smile.

I want to scream out my sorrows 

If only I wouldn't die if my lips moved.

Yes! I have no choice

Than to anticipate the day my breathe stops.
