I refuse

 to be the bad ending

to be the weak one, the one floating in bad thoughts and worse... delivering the obvious

i refuse to be intimidated but i also refuse to be exploited. i refuse to be strong at the expense of smartness or being fake. i refuse to be made fun of or to be made unavailable for goodness. i am good. i will always be good. i refuse to be ambushed by worry or by death connection. i refuse to be smothered in imaginery thoughts. i refuse to be consumed by the world or by what it may offer. that doesnt mean i dont want to try things. that are allowed of course. but i refuse to fall down holes or taps of buttons that can be powerful enough to suffocate. i refuse to keep trying . i will only try once. i will be faithful. i will only try whats good. 

i refuse to be unhappy. i refuse to fail. at least i refuse to not try and i refuse not trying to be a part of my failure. i refuse to not ask questions to keep analysing to keep hoping and trying but i also refuse to be taken for granted. i want to try and succeed. 


i refuse to be the bad example. i refuse to be the embarassing future. i refuse to be the devils corner . i refuse to be my souls wishes. i will connect with my heart soul and brain together in an elegant and driven manner that is both smart, useful and determined to suceed. Ya Allah as i always ask you - let me be useful to my children. Ya Allah, let me be useful to my self. and my family. Ya Allah protect me from myself most of all. and then from others. for the self is the most dangerous falling to the prey of unknown dreams 

dreams are a two ended sword. and i want to be be pricked by neither end. i want to use the good size to sieze good allowances of the mind. i believe that there is so much the heart and brain can do. and i believe there is more out there for anybody. but there is also destruction.

i refuse to be destroyed.

Disaster.

Life thoughts and dreams 
Worries and hopes
Combine 
Merge
Dissolve me
My daughter
Her eyes are so beautiful 
And I worry she strays from their beauty 
Melting me with trying to decipher her plans
Her thoughts 
How can I understand her thoughts if I don’t even know mine 
If I don’t even know what I want or what I can do 
If I don’t know how to calculate time by results
And fears become promises
Hopes become huge
And my thoughts are lost in. The middle
And everything consumes me 

What I need
What I want 
What I can do 
What I can’t do 
These days I think there is nothing I can’t do …
And that’s a lost tale 

The thing I really really really really should be able to do 
Which is lose weight
I’ve never managed to do 

So can I succeed 
In everything else

The answer is 

…..

How I feel right now

A failure
A failure of a woman 

A failure of a mother

Begging for love
Looking for answers 
Words
Someone to soothe this pain 

Mama are you ok?
And the medicine is on
But still my thoughts are black
My mind races
Why such difficulty
Why with me like this?
Why am I such a failure with myself
And why do I feel so disappointed so afraid

Why can’t I lick my wounds
At least my wounds are not from an accident
They’ve been layered and I’m angry and afraid
Going to mungnet 
I feel so alone
I am so Alone
These thoughts are just too much 
These wishes are to much to bare
These disappointments little ones are like mountains
It makes me ache 
That I have to try this hard
But in my dreams no one can hurt me 
And that’s why I run to them 
And although I hate them
I give in to them
BecUse in there it’s perfect

The water boy they called him
And he wasn’t for a while
 But now I’m a burden 
Where he answers rarely
And doesn’t for the majority
And where I cry with being so alone

I’m sick of it all
I’m just sick of it all

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 

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' -
