The F word


Five letters is all it takes to make that word,
Five letters tattooed on my heart.
To own the word, is to own the world.


One  word that makes my small world big,
One word that makes  my dark sky blue,
One  word that makes my end a whole new start.

To believe in the unseen,
To hope in the  hopeless,
To  see through blind eyes.
To walk crippled in the dark.

Ever wondered how the world would be like if people  had no mind to think, when everyone in the world had no opinion and we were all clueless idiots…it would be totally amusing (insanely amusing)but then again who would even think of the humour  in that situation  let alone be concerned with it.I woke up thinking about this stupid situation,and how chaotic life would be. The history of the world would be completely different and the human race would be a perfect example of an animal kingdom,only difference would be that we would all  be stupid animals!!
Before my thoughts could wander deeper in this CRAZY idea,I  had to write this poem down simply because it made me appreciate the beauty of a brain and because I have never felt this grateful for my ability to think(even when my thinking comes up with silly ideas).
Thoughts make up who we are,and that is the beauty of thinking .Our thoughts shape our lives when they become a way in which we believe in something,they  give us a belief,they give us a FAITH.
People only achieve things when they have faith in their capabilities, they get to own the world just by believing that they can do something  which  seems an impossibility to the rest of the world.
Countless times (an example of a simple idiotic situation) I have always wished to have a superpower,and too many times I have been asked what power if given the chance I would like to possess,I would always say “invisibility” .But now If someone were to ask me,my answer would definitely be the power of FAITH!
We all have different belief systems,but one that always surpasses my own belief in my own power,is the belief in God.Don’t get me wrong,faith in oneself can also move mountains,but…. Faith in God can move a whole world of mountains!!! To believe is to have power,life will always give us impossibilities,but Faith will always give us a way to make them possible,no matter what!

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever  change my life.I have  no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got  on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i  missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am  able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

Taking back memories .... 19 YEARS LATER PART 4

   For the past two and a half   months,   I have gone through some normal moments and some extraordinary ones too.Writing about my experience back home in Rwanda has been the hardest to capture, from the point of view of some people it may seem like a normal visit ( sometimes that’s what I think too) but other times which seem like precious moments hidden somewhere in my mind, the experience has been exteraordinary!! Finding the right words won’t cut it, yet not finding the right words wouldn’t do justice to some of those precious moments.    Going back to Gitarama was probably the climax of my visit, I went back home and by home I mean where I was raised for 2 years…where my parents were born,where it all began!! Driving through that countryside was like walking through a time machine ,the only difference was that I had no idea of what moment in time I had gone back to.   It has taken me a week  to write this down a...

Don't break my heart...

From the moment i loved you, I was afraid to say these words, But deep down i could feel it,and i knew it... Don't break my heart.. Don't tear me apart... With you am happy, That's how i know am lucky.. Without you,i am without me Don't break my heart... Don't tear me apart... Even though i know you will... This is no love poem,or else i'd have poured my whole heart out in my longest post ever!!!But i know how it looks and sounds,it's simply my love poem to this beauty called life...I heard a song this morning by Gym Class Heroes "Get Your A** Back Home" not the best title to a song(i know) but this line kept haunting me all morning "this type of life didn't come with instructions" By now if you reading this and thinking ,"like duh!!who din't know that??" hold onto that thought for just a bit. This is one of the most obvious facts:The  things that life can throws at us,sometimes can...
