Kandiee Scribbles

HELLO,
Welcome to a faction of my head
Where I make up stories and poetry
And most importantly feel them.
If a story feels like you or
maybe you’ve lived it
Or it helps you live in your stories.
Then it’s an honour to have glimpsed your story and been a part of it.”
Dialogue
Him: what are you scared of?
Her: That searing pain that feels like its coming from your chest when it’s all just brain chemicals.
Him: You think you can avoid it?.

Taste like the sun
Love should taste like the Sun
But yours taste like anger and sadness.
Leaving me broken by your side.
A glass that keeps on breaking
People say getting hurt makes one stronger.

I did a brave thing today
My mother passed away some years back , I was expecting it after the late stage cancer diagnosis; so in my own words “I experienced a well curated heart break”. I would hurt on some days but I would move on. Do that on repeat long enough and you know its normal to hurt but you move on
Choosing us over me
You said my smile didn’t reach my eyes,
That I need to find myself, my truth.
Well, John I found my truth.
It was never missing,
I hid it in a calabash similar to that of your mums
