Poetic Justice...

Life Shouldn't Be That Hard.

There are people that sees everything as a competition
They have stopped living so they live their lives in repetition
They confuse their callousness with ambition
Nothing can stop them, not even a thousand petition
They are all for show...desiring to impress like the exhibition
Their actions are never genuine because it's all about recognition
They see anyone who betters them as the opposition
They think they are God's gift to everyone and they are limited edition
But they forget that everyone is like that too and we are all on a mission
They want the world to revolve around them while everyone seems permission
But to themselves, the truth, it's never on admission
They are confusing the bitterness of their heart for ambition
Hoping they can silence everyone into submission
I see people like this as a politician and I'm always right with my intuition
The hate in their heart would consume them as they ply the path to demolition
Life shouldn't be that hard but some people live  it without premonition
Their heart that is made of stone cannot be cured even by the physician
Life is not lived within the confine of our heads...life is real, most make that great omission
We part to meet and we meet to part and life can play a fast one on us sometimes
The person you hate today might be the one you need tomorrow
Thread cautiously...not everyone is an opposition

No Favours.

You are not doing anyone favours by loving them
Love is what we give because of who we are meant to be
Love is not to be kept but to be spread around like fragrance
Most people keep it to themselves alone and they constitute nuisance
Taking you to a new realm and height, I see love like a trance
Capable of helping you grow as you maintain your balance
You give as much as you have received, it's like a dance
Moving your body to the rhythm of the music and each song determines each step
But sometimes, it's harder to love those who make it harder to love them
But isn't that what love is about? Loving those who are deemed unloveable?
Finding that space to love even when it's deemed hard?
There is a difference between hard and impossible but most people miss it
Love isn't love when loving someone comes so easy
Love is only made perfect when it's put to work
I didn't say it must be easy but how do you know the extent of your love when unstretched?
You are doing yourself as much favour when you love someone
You are not doing anyone favours by loving them
Because when you keep so much bitterness in your heart
It's a slippery slope for anyone to self destruct here on earth
The hate in your heart would consume you
Like a big abandoned house filled with dirt
Love is not meant to be kept but to be given - give as much as you have received too

Hurt.

You have never broken a heart but they broke yours
You return lost possessions but yours sometimes doesn’t
You try to be the best but sometimes people see differently
You think you have given your all but then, it wasn’t enough
People hurt you deliberately or maybe not deliberately
You seem to be at a loss on how the world operates
You need to be brave and focus on what’s working for you
See the bright side of life and know there are lessons there
Just as there are hurdles to be crossed in this life
There are also lessons to be picked along the way
Hurt is part of life and we cannot do without it
It’s okay to love and lost while you put things into perspectives
Your eyes suddenly become clearer with every hurt and pain
This is why you need to look at the bright side to this life
Sometimes you notice that hurt gives you the balance you seek
Stop feeling bad and trying to retreat from love or people
You can live with losing the good fight as I have come to know
But you cannot live with not fighting this good fight
Hurt is part of life and dealing with it is the best way forward

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why  I advise people to take a dose of "Olawalium" daily. 🙈
