Deafened Reasoning

The silence in my head became so loud
The silence deafened my reasoning
The silence scared the sound away
And now the silence embraced me
And assured me of its continuing presence

I leaned in and realized that the silence despite its noice had no heartbeat
It was just a charade
I was alone with silence
but never lonely like it made me believe

I am much more
Even better than I had imagined
The times & seasons were just perfect
according to His divine will & purpose

It's no coincidence He whispered
A stern whisper embedded with authority and all the assurances I needed

I can hear him clearly now; He said
"It's about that special season of unfolding goodness! Where I change statuses and it's all yours!"

The silence suddenly became quiet
And my rejoicing was deafening!

      Turning the dark, the abyss and the silence, into light. Into hope. Into undying faith. Not many can do that.

QUIET CORNERS

It’s been seven years in these quiet corners Intact is the state of everything  With midnight routines of calm The blaming whispers keep me awake  Oh how I long to be frightened Frightened by the sudden silence of a toddler  Can’t wait to get eye-bags from an all-nighter Safe from the stigma stings of the quiet corners   With hopes to chase after tiny third wheelers I long for a piece of the adrenaline rush  from the joys of motherhood No longer can I deal with the unending hopes   Basking in the paparazzi from womb watchers You all make my womb feel like an ex convict My womb, once full of hope and cheer, Now empty, like a hollow sphere

Even though

This piece explores the heartfelt musings of a woman in an abusive marriage. It highlights the reasons she stayed for all the 'wrong reasons'... Even though he knocked me down unconscious  I believed I could 'love' the abuse out of him Yes it might not seem like it  But love they say conquers all Even though he forcefully had his way each night I believed I deserved it I must have stressed him out Because I am 'his' anyways His 'will' before mine  Even though my black eye got darker I'd rather take the blows inorder to shield the children  Cos I've got nothing else to offer... His funds and roof will compensate  Even though I now lay down 6-feet under At least I didn't 'break' my home I didn't break away from him I stayed because the devil you know is better... Better than an Angel unknown  Written by: Bunmi Jules
