2015!!

This is the last piece of writing I wrote in 2015, please read it with an open mind.




I’m not sure if I am blessed or cursed but this year brought about 50 shades of everything.
January came as usual, always gloomy,
 More so because I had to go to varsity
Start a life and learn to survive in the city
Make some friends but never to forget homes teachings.
I had subliminal echoes to be satisfied with what I got from my parents
And never to forget to fight for the education that was to curb my struggles

February had its usual flare of love
I bought a rose for a girl I was hoping to make my valentine
But the day came and I had no one to call mine
The rose died but since I had no attachments I was fine
This was also my birth month but on that day I am never happy
I thought of the life I could have if my father had still been,
So for that day I remained indoors and unseen.

March was a month in which I was acclimatizing to my setting
Getting to meet people and finding my bearing.
Law school was in full swing and the assignments were headaches
But I never gave in for I had to attain my personal goals and objectives
Oh I also met a girl on one of the social networks
Facebook it was, and upon physical sight she made my world spin.

April’s first I was no one’s fool,
Though I saw pranks, some funny, some silly others plain cruel
I laughed at some, yes those that were cool
The girl I met by this time we were talking,
Staying up late till early in the morning
We vibed on the same frequency,
We had a connection
And as the month went by
For her I grew affection.

May approached and it was time to go home
I missed the salty smell of the air that was always there
The cold that would had me wishing I had the company of the girl I met in March
The very one I came to think stole my heart
How not if she was flawlessly made and also smart
Could I hope for us ever in mind to part

June and July were the months that broke my heart
Because as the days came faster
Her and I we became distant
We grew further apart
Her into her problems
And I into trying to perfect myself for her happiness which she had no clear definition of.

August saw me becoming more social
Forgetting my heartache, believing it to be trivial
I became outgoing, surfing the chill spots
Looking for all the girls I deemed to be hot
Drowning my pain in random kisses and interactions
This was a month were pain and hate justified my actions

September saw me meet lady number two
A matriculant with a mind of the first one too
A listener, with a painstaking body
Inquisitive, sassy but also a lady
It saw me go home a change man this time
New demeanor, new mindset and vibe
Devils urine had consumed me
Or at least that is what seemed the status quo to be

October showed that I was not failing
Neither to my potential was I excelling
The money finished faster as the budget was wider
Food, transport. Rent and girls ciders
I became a fuckboy
I sold dreams, but I was always nice or to me it seemed
The girls like me and my take was always mutual
As long as she was good looking and smart
I had no intention stopping that which was to start


November jumped on to me in disguise of a surprise
Dragging along the dread of finals.
I had to study, reserved all the time for myself
I did my part and studied the years’ work
Did as controversially as I had to relocate
Moved in with a cousin, death to my life or so I thought.
Completed my exams and stayed for work
You see February saw me becoming a radio personality
That’s when I realized for the door to my success only I had the key.
I felt pride because as time passed this statement became fact
The month ended and I finally had to go Home.

The coast welcomed me for the Friday of months
December was lit, and all songs being played in Walvis bays streets were hits
The vibe was welcoming the people were familiar
I was glad I was finally here.
For half a week I travelled and the north saw me
Shortly for a wedding and because the drinks there were free
Hit a U-turn for coasting and continued thriving
Relations at home lost point and communication went dark
There was no light of peace, not even a spark
In the last days, I quit drinking
Wrote myself an ode for temptation reference and to it I will keep returning
If my desire for alcohol continues burning

The year was stolen from us in memories that are cherished
By a thief that made sure it seemed brief
Who we met that is special may we keep and when tomorrow comes
May 2016 bring more of those that will assure we will have no nightmares in our sleep
Goodbye 2015

Welcome 2015 part 2
