The truth


The truth is half the time we’re not telling the truth or hearing the truth or seeing the truth or feeling the truth.
The truth is we’re spineless scum. We don’t like each other. We lie and we search for everything even when we know we’re nothing. We’re nothing important.
You’re nothing important.
Who am I to tell you that?
I’m nothing.
But you’re still reading this.
Because you’re hoping I’ll tell you the truth.
That I won’t lie.
But I lie.
I lie all the time.
But there is one person I never lied to. And he lied. And now I don’t care about the truth.
Cause no one will never tell me the truth.
We’re all lies. Not that we’re untrue. We’re just portions of the truth.
It’s a puzzle and each of our truths fits perfectly.
But I can’t zoom out and see the bigger picture.
Just my truth.
And the truth you told me.
That’s the truth.

DAY 5 A LETTER TO YOUR DREAMS

How are they so many of you? Lord. I can't keep up. Maybe I take too many naps and sleep too long. I feel like I'm always chasing... Always so confused and for a very long time I sat and watched. Then I turned twenty. And as if for some reason God decided that Twenty was the year. Doors opened and we walked through. I can see you clearly now. Everyday's to do list is one step closer to I made it. And every sleep less night is one less dream and for once I'm really glad man. I'm really fucken glad I'm not feeling like you're slipping away. I'm trying to keep up. I'm really trying to stay awake.

Somethings I'm Excited About

Number1 I haven't gotten the email confirming whether my poem has made the finally selection for this. But I'm excited and I hope to be getting a confirmation soon. :) I made into the "semi-final"round I guess. Not that its a competition but I'm happy. I will be even happier if I make the selection for the final online Fusion. Even if i don't. I'm really proud of all the Batswana Poets that made it. :) voice newspaper article on the project 2. Botswana Amateur Arts Festival. again confirmation will follow. :)
