You heal me Eman

You really do 
For Saturday mornings are meant for you 
Not for a stupid (word not allowed) computer not working and text messages about work that isn’t even mine and worries that don’t deserve to occupy your special place in my heart 
But they do and so you fight
Beautifully
Taking my phone away 
And it’s the right best thing you could ever do 
And the picture we did (well you 95 me 5) together was wonderful 
And I wasn’t concentrating and you kept at me 
Saying in your own child language 
Look at me 
Pay attention to me 
And 
I miss you 

All the week you’re away and even on Saturday your mind isn’t with me 

I felt awful you pulling and pulling for me to go outside
Bike training really trying to win over me which you deserve

I’m sorry Eman
I’m not a very good mum

my turmoil is now showing

 Everything is not in the right place

not great

was the answer

i saw it in his face in the morning

and then they saw it in mine

so it must be getting bigger

this void between who i pretend to be and who i really am

things unimaginable

i am unbreakable and i dont know whats right anymore

transferring the opposites of my duaas i am the black cloud

and i am pennyless in good activity

and i am carrying a heavy load

of regret and actions that should be sanctioned

my mind

putty

my hands iron

for benefit of no one

my heart probably clogged

my legs strong but useless

my face swollen

my ears

tired

my eyes

angry

like her they will tell 

one day

my mouth  lacking

my watsapp confused

my water

not drunk

my muscles fading

i am the definition of wrong

and theyre right

i cant stand facing myself

the truth is

i cant stand facing myself

thats why i hate being at home

i cant stand myself

i cant stand anything about me

the woman in me

is like a monster that must stay quiet in front of people

so take it there

i am angry with myself a great deal

i have hurt myself a great deal

i am pushing myself for all the wrong reasons

for example

non one can give me love except myself

unless i give it first 

other peoples love is voluntary 

i can never ever make them give it 

and that is why i feel so empty

waiting for others to fill me

only my love is what i can ask for and what i deserve

i am angry with myself 

this is not what i promised myself

this is nothing  like what i can be 

and right now its doesnt matter whats in the future

but it does matter that i am comfortable with myself


isnt it strange that i spent three weeks and i never once felt guilty

and then things happen and suddenly in 3 days i felt the weight on my shoulders

and all this guilt 

and all this anger

and all this turmoil and dsigust

in just 3 days taking them with me

into this black hole i so desperately want to crawl out of


i cant begin to imagine how annoyed she is with me

my frustration is now hers

and my fears are now her own

and today something else happened

being put in the middle

will he be the judge of us

this isnt the picture of the family i want to create

and nothing is wrong in it except me

Mind fog dimness bleakness and cloud

Am feeling lonely
Angry 
Messy 
Empty
Destructive
Lacking
Mean
Big with holes
Small with stupidness
Just all wrong

I feel
Really 
Alone
Always waiting for my phone to click
Always dreaming for the right thing in the wrong place
Always pushing back stress with more stress
Allaying filling my time with the wrong things
Golden time given to robbers
All hard work given to devils
All mistakesgiven back in return as guilt
As less sleep
As the present of being tired

Allah said
Be aware that you might love something that is bad for you

And that is it exactly
I won’t get asked on that 
I won’t be able to write on that 
I won’t be able to create on that 
I won’t be able to say anything in that 
That won’t save me

I feel
Very angry with myself
That I am so calm and can’t even walk 
I feel so silly with myself
I feel empty just empty 
Sleepy
Obsurd

Walls

Between each other
Why bother
Sometimes 
But then I remember the grandness of love

I search and search 
 It I just can’t find the answer
To finding myself

Ropes I hold
Thoughts i mould
Into nothing
Hours
Scared and meaningless

Walls of fear
Walls in my tears
Walls between my soul and heart

Thumbs and phone work all the time
Walla of repetition
Blind me
I am hypnotised
The poorest resolution

But I would never do that 
Walla of madness walla of bad luck or things bad done 
Standing with the wrong crowd or having the wrong anger
Walla of mistakes that you don’t even know are mistakes
Walla of dreams that you fall from each and every day

IM so sleepy
Leaning against my walls of life
It’s all a haze
A daze
Of brokenness

Walls to build things a future
And walls that need to be broken

I am sad from who I’ve become
Although I know my heart is white
But who cares
The walls won’t let anyone see 

Tommorow is her true last day of Creche
I feel tormented with a joyful pain 
That she is so big and get so small 
I still remember so frightened so In jittered worry to just have her
And here she is nearly 5
And her true last day of Creche
I have seen her break many walls
But I am the reason for her sadness too

Inside tears

gush through me and tear out my eyes 
secretly flooding the meaning of love that i so madly believe in 
 the truth is nothing true of my wishes t
he truth is heartbreaking and a twist of emptiness 
empty wishes 
empty dreams 
empty words 
empty things 
empty eyes 
empty voices 
empty mornings and evenings too 

 i feel very sad 
that i cannot get across what i want to get across 
that maybe i am incorrect 
 that maybe i am incorrect in trying to always believe 
 I feel sad that i am uncontrollable and that i am existent in a world and he is in another 
I feel sad that i am so alone 
not physically but mentally 
 nobody understands me escpecially those who i need to understand me the most 
 I feel so far away in what i want and need and what i can be given 
the offer is so poor
 its like going into a huge shop you had such big hopes in to find everything you need and desire but it turns out be something else 

 my tears soak me 
my skin has holes and my eyes are blurred and my heart aches 
 I wish i knew the true meaning of words 
 of behind the image 
 of behind the sound 
 of behind the im busy 
 of behind the calling not ringing 
 of behind all the things i dont understand 
or of others that dont want me to understand 

 my towers are shaking 
my strength is faltering 
my confidence is realyl nothing here 
i am this fake person trying to make it in a big mans world without nothing on my side 

 too many worries 
too many questions i cannot ask 
too many answers i feel are not the right ones 
too many misconnections 
 too many wishes i cannont make true 
 too many fears consume me
 too many emotions heavy to carry 
too many responsibilities i have to take alone because today i truly feel alone 
 with all my heart 
 with all my soul 
with all my being 
i feel alone 
i feel so stupid too 
i feel ugly and 
i feel that i am boring
 i feel a mess
 i feel powerless 
i feel disassociated and if i try to ask 
 i fail 
i get shot with roses 
maybe the message didnt delete? 

i dont know 
 i dont care 

 when im upset things always turn to me apologising 
and 
when im upset no one ever fixes it 
and when im upset i have to deal with it alone
and when im upset it has to stay a secret 
and when im upset im probably wrong to feel upset 
and when im upset im probably exxagerating 
and when im upset im probably silly 
and when im upset im probably selfish 
and when im upset i better shut up because ill get the im busy treatment 
 and when im upset i better find the cure quickly 
there must be a cure 
oh but where is it? 
please help me find it ? 
 can i buy it? 
can i conjure it? 
can i whisk it into my heart? 
can i borrow it ? 
 can i find it thrown away ? 
can I make it?
 please there must be a cure 
 its like love has become professional not balanced 
 ask for a letter you get it in a millisecond ask for love you must be joking

Who am I angry at ?

for I really have no one to be angry at but myself feeling the weakness but i am angry its like im being isolated from love although i am the most that loves it its like im being asked for nothing although i want to give all my love its like im stupid although i know i more better and clever than this its like im angry at the whole world but mostly the whole world is me because i know at the end Allah will only ask me why i did that and it wont be oh, let someone else take the blame no one can take the blame for my anger and weaknesses but me and just as i do i pay just as i break i shatter its wrong full stop its wrong but who am i angry at? who deserves to have responsibility for my pain?

Who’s at fault

Who’s at fault 
Me or you 
What would you do?
In the middle of the night I call and you don’t answer
Hoping I would just go away 
Even when I’m so far away from you
I’m still annoying
So I call again
This time you do answer
Making sure I feel remorse
Kind sharp words weighted with 
We were just watching a film
The invisible friend
I ask myself why your friend doesn’t sit with his family
Don’t his children need him 
Well I hope they don’t asthen I would be at fault
Powerful love only comes in series
Far far away 
Above the skies  as beyond the land of magic
Deep deep within me
I see another world 
I feel other things
I am someone loved 
Deep deep away 
I don’t have to dream 
It’s all real
Deep deep away 
I’m not the same
I don’t have to call 
I do t have to fear
I don’t have to worry about worrying about thinking someThing that then I worry about it
Worrying about it 
There’s no worry deep deep away
And even if there was
Didn’t I tell you I’m your support 
For all time to come
So who’s at fault me or you?
You or me
The chosen or the one I chose
The here or there
Thr trying or failing
The being weak or breakin down
Who is at fault 
Tell me I need to know
So when I cry 
Tears fall for a plane
Angled for love
Who’s at fault 

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' -
