Mmeso Inspires: Why Do Life

Why do life keep breaking me, Leah?

I can barely count those times I am genuinely happy…

Right from my cradle were stories that could move a mountain…

And could force tears down a bad man’s cheeks.

But no one knows about them…

I am glad I guide them because they are my life secret…

Yes, they are the secret to my growth.

Why do Life keep breaking me, Leah?

Everyone around me, seems to get it all in one grip…

But I have to till the soil with my tears and pain…

Sometimes, it works and other times, it does not.

I don’t know if life is trying to teach me a lesson or if it is my destiny…

Tell me what to do, Leah?

Because slowly, I am pinning away.

Why do life keep breaking me Leah?

If I had laughed with you a hundred times, ten are genuine while the rest are camouflage.

Because I don’t want you to partake in my pain…

Let me bear my burden alone, because it is my journey.

Behind my beautiful face, a lot goes in my head, my mind, and soul.

Behind my laughter and smiles, there are scars, both healed and raw…

Bottled up feelings, which I slowly let in drops on my bed.

I cannot tell all, I can’t Leah.

Why do life keep breaking me Leah?

Is life making me strong?

Or just like a film, my destiny is being played?

Why do I have to force happiness when it is made to come like the morning breeze and last as much as it can…

Mia said that true love will set my heart right?

Leah, true love has their own problems to contend with and may not see the mark of my hidden tears or the pain burning out of my eyes even as I laugh boisterously.

Why do life keep breaking me Leah?

I just want to believe that my tears is watering my plants.

Yes, I want to be sure my fears is making me strong…

I want to believe that as I weep in secret today, I will smile in public tomorrow.

I want to be sure that life is making me strong and it was never my destiny to be cheerless like a grave.

Verily, I am slowly pinning away, Leah.
