Uncried tears; the pain of the unseen pains

I want to cry
I want to let go
I want to pour it all out
I want to empty myself
I want freedom!
I hunger for freedom
Yet I am STARVED.

Circumstances prevent me from true freedom
I am perceived as the strong 
Made of stone, no heart
None feels pity for me
None shares in my pain
All they see is strength
That is all they choose to see 
Yet I know my weaknesses 
I feel my pain 
I suffer!
While none helps
My heart continually breaks
Always shuttering
Each passing day with a greater pain
O such unbearable pain

I cannot talk
I am not allowed to complain
No platform available for my likes to vent
Because the 'weak' look to me
I am not allowed true freedom
I cry myself to bed each night
Waking up looking strong 
Always looking okay
So that all may be encouraged to be okay

But am I really okay?
Am I really fine?
Do I know the true meaning of freedom?
Do I actually live?

I believe I am merely existing 
Pretending to be living
And always missing out on true freedom

All I hope for is that all
May see, feel or share in the pain of my unseen pains
And allow me to cry my uncried tears

Giving the giver that gives you peace and love from the bosom of the size-less heart all the praise  We are matching up to the ends of the earth to make sure that our task of discipleship really goes aboard; this is the title of our hymn “LIBERATION FOR PEACE”    The Holy Spirit knows boundaries; he cannot be limited in his own jurisdiction. So moving on to proclaim that which we have been taught by the teacher, we shall spearhead the action and affirm someday to come “THAT CHRIST MAY BE IN ALL” Not forgetting to promote the student Apostolate among students in higher education, in the Church’s mission and in the world; we came into existence to continue preaching and teaching the word that have life in itself to manifest wonderful and marvelous things according to the Will of the creator, Our Father... Moreover we recognize and work with all concerned men and women for joint action and reflection leading to a more just and equitable social order a...

PEN

This isn’t an acronym. It is a powerful tool. It is blunt but has altered the patterns of history with unequivocal writing success. It has survived all the defining moments through the centuries Ranging from the early reed, quills, and dip pens to the contemporary ballpoint, fountain, and felt pens. History has it that, all users demand a special pen based on the pending purpose of use There is this status symbol attached to any kind of pen that has ever been manufactured. M. Klein and H. W. Wynne had received a US patent for the fountain in 1867. But as early as the 10 th century, the pen had existed.  And until this day, it has metamorphosed through many phases and designs. One of my favourites and most used pen from the 20 th to this century has been Michaels Bich’s Bic pen that was invented in the 1950s. It is simply elegant and mighty. The sword could see itself sharp but the pen is supreme. Talk of brainstorming sessions that led to generati...

Thoughts of a toddler

I am a toddler Nothing I know matters Only my tears, whether crocodile or human, has influence And I will cry my lungs out until my wish is granted  That's their command My heart will passionately be on standby, just in case I need reinforcement At least, it will cleanse my system and keep me healthy I am a toddler with giant steps It will not take long for me to arrive safely into adulthood I can't skip my teenage years either If I get the chance, I will only catch a glimpse of my teen days and return to being a toddler So to my kinsmen, kindly prepare your speeches I can sense only the title has a pleasant feeling The rest are bitter pills but I am not sick too I don't want to choke Please don't proceed with those long speeches about life  I know that when I grow up I'll swallow the pills anyway But I am nurturing my courage  I am making attempts to stand on those tender feet They will be as fit as a fiddle  And that will lead me on I'll ...
