MUMMA-Still feeling poemy

MUMMA

She made her thorns look like roses
She made her tears look like rain
When all felt like an earth-shuttering disaster
She held her composure
She held our hands
Out of the turmoil she took us

Not that she has no fears of her own
Not that she is superwoman
Yet her powers surpasses that of all superheroes
She held us close
Holding us tight in a hug
All the while whispering, "All is well"

Most women are great
Yet you surpass them all
My mother, my sister, my best friend
I'm sorry I waited till today
Anyway, allow me to say
I LOVE YOU Mama Marseille.

I wanted to know what it meant to be a blogger, and if I was doing something right or wrong. As at now I still don't have my reply. So this has been a journey of making mistakes and learning the hard way that the little things go a long way and what have you.

(Whew, that is a mouth-full or a brain-full😅) But that is that, you know? It will only get lonely at the top if you did not carry anyone along. So I know it took you years to get where you are. But it is time to start mentorin...

UNTITLED POEMS BY DARAH

Phobia… If he is scared, they say he's weak Peril… If he goes for it, they say he's stupid There's a fine line between valor and idiocy But who decides this; man? Absolutely not What if risking it is due to fear A man fears mockery, hence he urged on But he's confronted with insecurities He decided; he'd rather be in insecurities than be mocked He then succeeds in insecurities So, he's called brave Man has forgotten that once he's stripped off his acquisitions He would stand no more His crown will forever bow He wouldn’t be able to fight his phobia A man once secured, a man who thrived in the toughest times He goes into rage, he breaks down;  He falls into blankness Society says 'the brave and mighty has fallen' Or better still, they say he derailed Though, he was never brave; he wasn’t mighty He finally met his phobia                      by: Darah
