Black

Black
Black is the colour of light
Don't get me wrong
Don't call me ironical
Don't tag me paradoxical
Don't label me dark
Just understand me 
Black makes me feel whole
Being whole is my light

  “Ssshhh; she is the one” Two women whispered while glancing at me sideways. Should it be considered a whisper if I heard them? Or saw the way they rolled their eyes up and down while looking at me? Or the way they fanned themselves faster while they passed me as if the very air I was breathing was contaminated! What did I do to deserve this? Is falling in love such a crime? Maybe I should not have listened to Luther Ingram when he said, “ if loving you was wrong, I don’t want to be right !” Or maybe, just maybe, I should have waited to be born in the 21 st century where Nico and Vitz, will help me “ ask am I wrong ” and everyone would understand why I am not wrong. At least, not for loving! You know, when I left the house, all I wanted was to do was get some fruits! But here I was at the market, everyone looking at me like I had a plague on my face! All my usual fruit vendors are unwilling to sell to me! What kind of businessperson refuses money? Is this why many of their bu...

My precious

  Tell me why you fell asleep ten minutes ago and I am longing for you like a dragon longs for the open air? Tell me why I have spent the whole day talking to you, and the minute I stop, I feel like a piece has been forcefully yanked from my heart and the place that was filled with joy and happiness has been replaced with nostalgia. Is this what having a boy crush does to someone ? Or is it just me quite missing home? I think it is both. I have been listening to Bradley Cooper today over and over. And he sang, tell me something girl, are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there something you are searching for? And tell you what my precious, I am happy in this modern world. I am happy that even though I am oceans and mountains away, I still get to see you. I still get to hear your voice. I still get to sleep with you on the other side. I still get to share a meal with you. Now is that perfect, no. But it is ideal. You know what was perfect? Mornings we wo...

Rejections!

Image
  Man! Rejections suck! You would think that after these many years on planet Earth and those situationships that shaped our characters more than a corset does women’s bodies, we will know how to deal with rejections. But lo and behold! Here we are. Yesterday, my friend R told me that our generation faces more rejection than any other generation before us. Now, I could not argue with that fact because I got 8 rejections just yesterday. And Lemme tell you Maina, a “we need to talk” text from your partner has not nothing on “we regret to inform you that we will not be proceeding with your application at this time.” With your partner, you know the exact buttons to press to salvage the situation, but with a potential employee, you have nothing! Especially because I imagine you did everything you had to do before the application! You read the JD, edited your resume, and even wrote in your cover letter that you worked well under pressure. Which by the way I am curious, why do we gl...
