i have arrived
by Gertrude Bvindi | September 15, 2011 at 1:57 AM
As fast as I could
As far away as I could get
I stand breathing heavily
And run again
Tears stream down my face
All the pictures vivid
The intimidations
The frustration
The competition
Favouritism, secretive process
I want to get away
As far away as I can
I thought I had a purpose
I had found a life-a part of my dream
I run away
The wind through my hair
Sweat and tears on my brow
The trauma, the bleakness
Darkness
Then I see a light
The moon high up in the sky
I stop look up and feel it
I am empowered
I feel elated
I am here
I have arrived
I stop running

Hey thanks very much, i was just going through some of my poems and it really looks like the story of my life. There was a period i wrote when i ws going through things and all of it is there. I need to organise the pieces and make a story of it. Thanks hey.

Lovely poem
It's good to see you flowing like this again.
I have arrived.
I stop running from the past that can never catch pace with me
For I am a voice
of the future.
Just my little addition :)
from today i live out of my imagination
i am more than my yesterday
tomorrow i plant a new seed
nothing that lies behind easy
nothing that is ahead real
my within is all i have today

hehhehe
Trust you to make me laugh. Thanks hey, wouldnt have done this without you. No pun intended but if there was never a reason for you to come back home when you did, we would never have bumped into each other and none of this would have happened. Thanks very much! i owe you.
