Not in a good place

A place too big for me
Trying to swim across continents cold and full of salt
I hurt others
And others cry because of me
Shout because of me
Feel tormented because of me
The young the old
I have no mercy
I have no soul
I have lied and I have hidden
And I have been selfish and o have made them all angry and more is probably coming
And yet I am also not smart or nice or beautiful 
Or thin 
Or deserve to be rich or happy
I am not lucky or strong
I am not here or there
I am simply just a failure
A prayer gone wrong
So so wrong
The worst part of me 
Is that I do things that seem right but they are wrong 
I am alone
I truly am
In a whirlpool of angry dreams

I’m just so sad
Today 
So sad

Why on earth am I doing this ?

So selfish hurting my time
Becoming non advanced
Losing faith
Morphing sin as good
Failing myself
Turning time into mush

Why am I doing this
Not using the free everything I’ve been given 

Giving up on the chances
Allowing imminent failure to win me

Allowing everything to beat me
It’s so easy playing a computer game
It’s so easy being so hurtful and judge and think of others in a bad way
And just get consumed in everything bad
But it’s not easy forgetting the trivial and thinking only of focus

1 million euros
Why not
Pass
Why not
Successful defend without silence and fear
Why not

Only liberating myself is how I can do

It’s sad

Losing a father who’s still alive
As the plane sets out into the sunset the connection breaks
And the ties dissolve into the pink and blues of the silent skies
Our lives change sometimes with the unknown that slices through us
Sometimes with the unknowns that crystallise us 
Sometimes with everything you could ever want and dream
Sometimes with everything you never had
And sometimes with nothing at all
If you had known that was the last time you’d have him just driving you around and having all the time with you 
If you’d have known the mundane was actually not mundane and quite precious
If you’d known that the time was speedily ticking out of time
And that the plane was coming to take your mundane days 
No seats for you 
No ticket
No visa

Maybe I have it wrong
Maybe they’re so used to him not being around
Maybe they’re already aligned with this day and that deep down maybe they knew it was coming
Maybe it’s not so painful for them
And maybe it is

Life is strange
It can give you goosebumps dreaming about affording business tickets and a new life you never had
And it could give you something else
Which I pray it never gives

What it is...

I see Life like a rose in the ice... beautiful but with cold settings - There are so many incredible things out there - but we always need to fight and perservere against the hardships too... otherwise the cold will win ... and we will wither away.

My imagination has led me to believe in something called 'Sudan Fairytale' -
The fantasy that My country will one day be independant and proud, never selfsish to provide its people with its needs, give freedom and success to all, be forever committed to achieve a prosperous inhabitance to every Sudanese in their own country-

My eyes fail me and I see the truth which I call - 'Khartoum Heartbreak' - This is a theme running through the blog under the 'Khartoum Heartbreak' Poems and whatever else about Sudan conveying broken down love, poor streets and cut off electricity along with a lot of other decays and problems in Khartoum city Life.

But I love my country and so I have no choice but to merge the Pain and the Love as one.

Faith is my heart and I could never do without it hoping in my prayers that I can be someone better always and that God forgives me as I fall in Mistakes through that frozen path of Life...

Sometimes I feel under control with all the too many emotions that run to colour my days and nights - Books, movies, music, dreams, friends, family, strangers, travel, - reality - the 10 O' Clock news -Most of the time I'm very Lost in trying to understand - whatever happens becomes tangled into writing this confusing memoir -

It's a really odd combination of air - not sure whether it is refreshing or suffocating - stabilising or maddening - But I breathe and
so it is
'Memoirs of a Sudanese breath' as I am 'Lost but under control' -
