Smiles

I've lost everything
Grandma and my dignity
All because of him
Because "NO" was a word too complex

Now I can't touch anyone
I tremble at just the thought
I stay awake to watch the shadows dance
Too frightened to shut my eyes

It's a dark dark place I'm in
My eyes constantly closed it seems
I know they all want to help
But hitting the buzzer to let them in is such a task

I want so much to kill him
Strangle him and watch the life drain out
The light in his eyes would go dim
And then it'll be just me

Green

The land is green, oh green.
So fertile and fruitful, oh green.
So full of life and color, oh green.
Part of nature's best gifts, oh green.

I'm having a lazy Sunday guys so enjoy the very short piece.

Mother

"What is that for" She asked me with watchful and fearful eyes, her voice shaking. I smiled sardonically in a way that I knew would put terror in her.
"Well, this..." I began slowly " ... Is what I'm meant to kill you with." I stopped to savour her tearful eyes and soaked in her fear. It's can get quite intoxicating to have the fate of someone in your hands and for the person to know.
"But, am not gonna do it" I could see her expression change from fear to relief to confusion. It's gonna feel so good to crush that relief.
"Don't get me wrong, you're still going to die. It's just it's so much more fun to see you fret and get anxious about what form your death will come. I will release you now but you will already be dead. Because I don't think anyone can truly live when they have to live all their days expecting their death"
"Why... Why are you doing this to me?" She asked.
"Only returning the favour, mother" I turned and I felt the tear drop.

High

I am gloriously happy, joyous even. It is a kind of high that is undisturbed. Truly and highly satisfying.
"Tolani" my mum calls for me.
"Am coming ma" I reply. I have to do this one more time. It gets better every time. So much fun, and I relish in it.
"I'm coming ooo" I say again when I hear her call again.
I stand up and look for a long sleeve in my closet, that's the only kind of sleeve I have. I couldn't let anyone know about it because they won't understand me. The won't understand my scars that I caused!.

Damaged

I look into her eyes, I mean they say the eyes are the windows to our souls right?. And I see nothing, all I see are soulless orbs swirling so deep, I fear I would be sucked in with it. They look like death its self, eyes as dark as midnight, looking so gruesome and so deadly I whimper.
  I can't believe I didn't notice this before. Didn't notice what a dangerous and unfeeling creature she is. She doesn't care, all the experiences, memories, adventures. They are all just a means to an end for her. They mean nothing to her dark twisted soul. She's the one the people whisper about. The Dark Queen. Lady Of The Night. And trust me, those are the tame ones.
   She who I gave my devotion and pledged my loyalty to, she who I saw a future with, she who looks at me now like am a piece of gum stuck to her foot, a piece of gum she can't wait to get rid of, like my very existence is a burden to her.
   I watch as she raises her blade to cut me and I can't even move, I don't want to. What's the point. I lost. I am already dead even before she kills me, I had been destroyed.
Ring!
I heard the sound of my alarm as I got up to prepare for the day. And I thought of her, the expressionless eyes, the dark soul. She who is me!

Decision

Decision
I made the decision today, it probably sounds stupid and like an over exaggeration but it's my decision and I stand by it. Let me tell you a story, maybe you'll understand why I did it.
Well early one morning, I woke up and I felt empty, and filled with nothingness. It was a kind of emptiness I was full with, everywhere was quiet and the silence became deafening. The sun wasn't out yet and it was dark, soon the darkness became blinding. I turned on my flash light and looked around, there was no one. I stepped out of my room and everywhere was empty. I became reminded once again of the emptiness within, it was slowing quenching my will to live. When I thought of how to end it, I thought about the sharp knife in our kitchen. I went into the kitchen to pick it up and I made for the backyard. I didn't want to make a mess you see, because even when I was suffering I still thought of others. I went to the destination in mind, and I immediately spotted my target. I tiptoed towards it and grabbed unto it. It crowed and cawed but my mind was made up. Having earlier put water on fire to pluck its feathers, I slit its throat. Blood gushed out and that was exactly what I wanted to avoid in the kitchen. So I placed its head under its wings in the traditional way and went back inside. I plucked the feathers and then cut it up to cook. I cooked it and while eating, my mom walked in. She was furious, and asked why I would cook the only chicken left without her permission. I explained everything to her and she still couldn't see reason and that is the point we are now. You have read the whole story, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

Dark

It is dark, the moon is at it's peak. It is a full moon and it's light shone all around. Tobi is in his room catching up on some homework, and the new chic that just got into his school, when he thinks he hears something. It sounds like..., he is not sure. He continues his homework, he decides to check up on it later. And then he hears it again, there is a rustle and then a click. Almost like someone stepped into his house, and now he is scared. He turns on his flash light as there aren't  any lights on at the moment and then he goes down the stairs. He starts checking the rooms one at a time to see if anyone was in. He is home alone or did I forget to mention that? His parents are away on a very important event and he is an only child. He goes to the kitchen, the sitting room. And just as he is about to open the day to the next room, he hears a sound behind him. Like a snarl, like a growl, like an animal. And then he turns and sees nothing. Then he thinks he's just being paranoid, it's probably just all the horrors he has been watching these days. He moves forward and then he hears footsteps behind him and then he turns back again, and he saw it. The Creature! There is no clear description of it in his mind, it isn't human and it looks nothing like he has ever seen before. It doesn't even look like an horror movie character. He is terrified! But he can't do anything. He can't move, he can't attack, he can't run, he can't even scream. He is paralyzed with fear. And then it moves forward and forward and then it stops right in front of him. It brings his face close to  Tobi's, he can feel it's breath on his face. He knows there is nothing he can do to avoid death today and so he closes his eyes and waits for it. And just then a gust of wind blows against his face and he opens his eyes and sees nothing. He checks around and there is no sign it was ever there. He starts questioning himself. He just thinks to himself that he is really getting paranoid. He goes up to his room to finish up what he was doing. Little did Tobi know that was just the beginning.
