These poems (not written kwa me) are dedicared to my best Marafiki who I missed very badly.
1. When your look at me I look like nothing is bothering me but once wewe look away and I look at wewe a tear slowly comes rolling down my cheek and I whisper: I miss you....
2. I miss wewe when something really good happens, because wewe are the one I want to share it with. I miss wewe when something is troubling me, because wewe are the one who understands me so well. I miss wewe when I laugh & cry because I know that wewe are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss wewe all the time, but I miss wewe most when I lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other; for those were some of the best times of my life.
3. I miss your smile but I miss my own even more.
4. When I miss you, I re-read our old conversations and smile like an idiot.
5. I miss talking to you. It's like we have endless topic of anything and everything and I miss that. I miss talking to someone who gets me.

When wewe stare into my eyes
What do wewe see?
I know I see a scared girl,
Who wants to break out of her shell
and onyesha the world who she really is.
She feels abandoned and alone
even with Marafiki and family around her.
She has been used and she was choking on the promise she would never fall again.
She's the girl people see
Laughing and smiling on the outside
is actually Crying and Hurting inside.
People misunderstands her,
They judge and tease but she puts up a shield.
She is sweet and sensitive but they don't care
They're cruel as the world we live in.
Do wewe see that in my eyes?
Do wewe see me?
It's amazing what wewe can hide
Just kwa putting on a smile.

All My Fault
kwa Cody Herman
moto courses through my body
Rage I never knew existed
I stumble around dizzily
I know I shouldn't have insisted
We were laughing together
The siku started out great
We could have lasted forever
au maybe it was just fate
Deep inside my heart
I know that I was wrong
We shouldn't have part
Just when we got along
So where does the blame go?
Is it to me au to you?
How could I have stooped so low?
When was it I withdrew?
The blame is on me
The troubles are mine
To the air I plea
I knew it wasn't time
It could have worked out
We would have been fine
It would have been without
All because of the upendo line

As wewe go turn out your light
The shadows come out into your eyesight
Lurking around in each corner waiting to be found
Waiting quietly trying not to make a sound
They appear in every form
The scariest ones are in a lightning storm
Some look like witches some look like goblins
They scare wewe kwa coming into your dreams
As light tries hard to come into the seams
To help wewe out with no prevail
Their tries are effortless like a ship without a sail
As the shadows lurk in and the light tiptoes out
wewe twist and turn making want to shout
So if you're weak and not strong at all
And these unreal ghouls make your skin crawl
Try getting a night light
The shadows come out into your eyesight
Lurking around in each corner waiting to be found
Waiting quietly trying not to make a sound
They appear in every form
The scariest ones are in a lightning storm
Some look like witches some look like goblins
They scare wewe kwa coming into your dreams
As light tries hard to come into the seams
To help wewe out with no prevail
Their tries are effortless like a ship without a sail
As the shadows lurk in and the light tiptoes out
wewe twist and turn making want to shout
So if you're weak and not strong at all
And these unreal ghouls make your skin crawl
Try getting a night light
This valentine ill try something new,
a very SPECIAL recipe invented just for you,
a touch of pain in a little glass flask,
with a little bit of hatred if wewe might ask,
shake the mixture with a bit of your mamba tears,
and dont forget your fake smiles tht fooled me for years,
CHOP my letters and burn my picture,
now heat this at about 30 degree celceius
now add the grief the siku u left me in tears,
then heat in that lonely uchungu, chungu mixture with how i barely slept tht day,
now let's get to the topping that's my inayopendelewa part,
ADD what's left from my stabbed,crushed heart....

this mirror is a painting
colored with memories
of your dying life.
In death and pain,
wewe see it clear,
tho these memories
are suppressed by
the blaze of unseen days.
Days that crave for smile,
but buried kwa the darkness
of your own.
Your dying life is still here,
impersonal and black,
this clock shows no time
for you, for your time has
stopped a long ago.
In memories of old,
wewe feed our dilapidated soul
with the same smell that
smothers your thoughts,
as your figure is terrified
to see your dying will.
The mirror has been covered
with cobweb for years,
for your eyes are never going
to be able to see
this dying life within.
Enjoy, maoni if wewe can.

This broken sky is falling.
This shattered earth is crumbling.
This broken moyo is bleeding.
This black room is all I see.
The blackness is all I see.
The black is all that I am.
My sky has fallen,
My earth has crumbled,
Yet my moyo continues to bleed.
wewe used to be my,
Sky,
Earth,
Heart,
But, you’re gone.
Now all I see is black, in this black room, within the darkness.
Yet, my moyo continues to bleed.

When my world seems to whorl,troll, curl
I don't have to worry,
because my Marafiki put in it pearls.
Whenever I get whirl,nerve ,curve
Those silly buddies, simply smirk
and all my problems get diverged.
What should I say about wewe guys?
wewe all rock my life.
Yes,of course, I was in a right path already,
But wewe all came and made me steady.
I swear , no need of tears
Let's be clear,
wewe all are My Dear.
wewe never let me go speechless,breathless,hopeless
No and never, we would never be apart
as something fascinating , would eventually start.
When the light goes down,
wewe all come and shout.
I upendo the way wewe are,
wewe are the ones i once loved,
and I will upendo u till
the stars are still
no matter its light au dark
Because I know, wewe would be there for spark!!

like a shadow,
wewe don’t live this life,
you’re becoming a shadow
of your destiny.
This cruel fate hates
your laughter,
loving your pain
that sleeps inside
your broken heart.
Broken and tired
of all these Lost fights,
your life becomes
invisible
and wewe don’t care
anymore,
but wewe do,
wewe still do.
You’re trying to see
through this fog,
you’re still fighting
for that day,
the siku of your peace.
Your path is full
of thorns that
are stabbing wewe
directly into your hope,
tearing your soul apart,
you’re on the wings of powerlessness.
