I was sitting at my dawati at school, uandishi my krisimasi list. It was hard to think of zaidi than three things, so I wrote down a gift card to itunes, some movies, and a new pair of nike shoes. I'm trying to think of something, and my teacher alisema "Emily it wouldn't be wise to ask for money for a present". When I went nyumbani I was still thinking about my krisimasi list, but then my little sister came up to my face "Sissy, sissy, wewe should ask for a super big princess kit'. Then chajio, chakula cha jioni came, we had roasted chicken. My older brother Eric was bragging about making the mpira wa kikapu team, then my little sister told my mom I want the super big princess kit so we could be twins. "Honey your a big girl now, wewe can't play with toddler toys" mom alisema sweetly. I moaned loudly, "Mom!!". My brother was laughing quietly to himself. "May I be excused?" I asked. "Sure honey see wewe later" mom answered. When I went to my room I looked at me at the mirror and saw my hair was falling out. Later that week I told my mom my hair was falling out, and she alisema she'll take me to the doctor's when I come home. I went to the bathroom at school and my hair fell out in clumps. When gym came, my stomach hurt so I went to the lockroom and I spited out blood. I could never be in so much pain. The nurse called my mom to come pick me up, then she took me to the doctor's office. After several hours the doctor finally came, he alisema I have some kind of cancer, but it could never be cured only I can expand my life. My mom alisema I dont have to tell anyone, and I decided not to. When we got nyumbani my family and I put up the tree. "Emily do wewe what wewe want for Christmas?" asked Eric. "Maybe just to live" I alisema under my breath. "Emily can I talk to wewe in the family room?" asksed mother. I thought in deep troble. "Honey the doctor called and he alisema wewe have two years to live" mom alisema live for a long time. I wanted to cry, but I was strong I could hold it and alisema "ok". When I went to school they had tryouts for the cheerleading team at 2:00 today. Two hours before tryouts we had to go to gym, but , I forgot my doctor slip saying I'm not heathly to go outside au do gym. I didn't have it so I had to run. My lungs burn and I asked to go to the nurse, but the coach made me run six extra laps. Then, it felt like a thousand pounds was on my cheast and I was super dizzy, and I collapsed. When I woke up I saw a bright light above me, my mother was to the right of me holding my hand, and a doctor was on his computer in the right corner. "Mom where am I?" I asked. "Honey the doctor and I thought it would be best if wewe were nyumbani schooled". I wanted to say no way I would lose my friends, teachers, and my life, but I knew what was best. "Good idea mom, just what I was thinking". When I got nyumbani I went to bed, it was the first time in three weeks I just fell asleep. I woke to the sound of the smoke dector, and screams. "Emily Emily!" cried my sister. I didn't smell smoke though. I went to the jikoni seeing Eric laughing his head off. "Ha wewe should have saw your face" alisema Eric. "Where's mom?" I asked. "She went to work" Eric alisema back. "Come on June let's go to bed" I took my sister with me. I told my sister something while she layed inayofuata to me. "June our time together is limited, but I will always upendo you". Since I had to go to the doctor's I missed cheerleading pratice, but than again I'm never going to public school again. When went to go and eat at Chucky-Mc Cheeses, the seats were wobbly and the family across from our meza, jedwali was changing a baby's diaper. We went nyumbani and mom gave me an assignment to do, I ignored her and went right up stairs to my room to go sleep. My mom signed me up for tennis at noon everyday. Today I went and I had no idea what to do. So I went up to one of the courts and someone came up to come play. It turns out I'm really good at tennis and the person playing with me was good to. I went to go get zaidi tennis balls and then I blacked out. I woke up and saw my mom and little sister, we were at the doctor's office, he alisema he'll put me into sleep for a bit and then I'll be good and done with cancer, and if I don't wake after they try to help me they'll pull the plug. They took my family to the waiting room, while they put me to sleep. I dreamed that I was a kid opening presents on krisimasi morning, then suddenly my eyes blinked open and I woke up. I thought that I fought cancer, but then I saw the doctor to my mother and then she cried. I heared the nurses say "Lets pull the plug", then I saw a bright light infront of me and a voice calling me. I watched from up from heaven my sister crying and holding my hand, and she alisema "Sis I want wewe back, I want wewe for Christmas". When they buried me in a white satin casket, I watched all of them. I will always upendo and watch over my mother and my siblings.
Me and Those
Ever noticed that in this life
Everyone wants wewe to do something,
au be something
That sometimes wewe don’t want to be?
They are those!
wewe know them!
wewe probably have those in your house.
They are those who expect wewe to take a path,
Even though,
Sometimes,
wewe don’t want to take.
They are those who expect wewe to be great,
Even though,
Sometimes,
wewe prefer to be small and humble.
But do wewe think,
For the slightest second,
That they care about that?
They don’t!
They are your parents,
Your grandparents,
Your Uncles and aunts,
That since wewe were born,
Came up with a path for wewe in life.
But know this,
And say it to yourself:
They are those, they matter,
But me is I,
And I’m the main character.
Sitting right where wewe are
wewe have no claim on me
I know my own path
I am my own guide
wewe are nothing to me
No matter how wewe try
What do wewe care?
If I'm not doing it right
I'm not following you
I know my own path
I am my own guide
wewe don't know me
No matter how wewe try
Why are wewe here?
wewe know I don't want you
I told wewe to leave me
I am my own path
I know my own guide
wewe can't mold me
No matter how wewe try
Why do I feel compelled to write angsty poetry? I swear I'm not even that angsty. lol Oh well, I hope someone out there enjoys it.
A whisper in the cavern that goes unheard,
and a glimmer in the sky that stays unnoticed,
like the start of a brand new life, at the peak
of a mountain never scaled, lies in wait.
It can't be moved kwa any cosmic mover,
so no passing wind au fog will douse it.
Only your eyes can scratch out the image
au accept it, the light at the edge of your eyes.
Will wewe take hold of the key you're offered?
Stop imba of freedom; seek it instead?
To become a companion of the new
takes an ever expanding, soaring gaze.
But even kwa taking one step forward,
kwa placing one hand onto the mountain,
as the wind tugs gently at your back,
wewe will realize the cage has already been broken.
