Some days I am the villain

I am the hero

She, he, it is in love with me

My presence is a good blessing

Never seen a better one

Oh that they will have me with them till gray claims their head

My praise flying around like happy flies

My inner beauty suddenly is their muse

My black face is more to them than that of an Angel’s

They’ve never seen a better one

 

Nay, someday I am the villain My voice is no different from the quirking witch

Why does she laugh so?

So they said

My past deeds suddenly unpleasant so they haunt me

My words oozes as a fart of fermented smell

I don’t make sense

Ah!

Don’t I get loved everyday?

Nay, it is not you

Soothing them will shoot a gun to your joy

Your cheeks hurts while you spread them for their validation

And just a little trip on their glorious toes

Boom!

They dance to the rhythm of time; CHANGE

Some days I am the villain

Some days I am the hero…

The silence of goodbyes

As humans, we tend to care and respect some people even if we were never close. Unknowing to those people that we would love to hear them say goodbye anytime they would love to leave.
