2. My Little Sister Says:
My eyes feel sleepy
My eyes feel sleepy
I'm I really writing this
Hee he!
My sister is bothering me (that’s me)
Stop it girl!
Contemplation upon Advice (taken to the
extreme)
Good gosh she must proclaim
Yawns I am sleepy
Yawns
Snores...
Hummm
Her best friend tossed her his heart
And she broke up with him
A strange unbelievable stress
A brick wall she built, I take
My eyes feel sleepy
I can’t figure out the answer
Why my eyes are so heavy
Where she also faltered still
Good gosh I must say she made a big
mistake
Memories of her papa
When I was but a kid:
“Keep your virtues child
His lessons she kept dearest to her heart
His hope she defused, she did refuse
I think I will go out to see
And cherish them with all your will”
That I spoke not of before
Knock
A knock on the door
Who could it be?
Coming this hour to visit me
Knock! Knock!
There was this fellow who claimed she
interested him
Even though they were decades apart:
I must say that his woos, she did ignore
“Careful who you let handle your heart”
This guy sat near her in the taxi
In church she met this lad
He bounced he winked and smiled
He was the cutest heavenly thing
She caught a panic attack
Once he said he liked her
And started trembling fearfully
She became the knottiest thing
At that very instant she was done with him
There are many instances
3. Reflecting
Once we believe
Was her papa wrong when he told her,
I wasn’t always like this
Shield her heart?
I was just like you
I pity my friends
Will she never be able to laugh and smile
and
I had heart aches and pains and worries
to.
Who have known me so..
With memories of me from long ago
Toss her curls?
Would she ever be like those other girls?
I carried stress
I was so depressed
Is she a pole?
It didn’t take long
Or is she as useless as rare old stone?
Before it all turned around
I had my troubles
I have my fears
But I shall not shed anymore tears
Good gosh I am sure it couldn’t be
For she says;
It takes courage I know
“My knight would soon come rescue me.”
You must believe so
True courage they became history
True courage I earned my victory
Believing enhances
Great experiences
Great miracles are there to achieve
I had a victory
Then a miracle
Then troubles end
This I would gladly lone a friend
Your hopes cannot die
Tis no lie
4. Seeking death is for cowards
The Wretch
Or strangers from nowards
The first time they met
She knew not who he be
Your belief makes dreams real
As his lyrics he sang beautifully
Your world would open up
Just believe
He promised to give her what she wanted
Believe in your dreams
But her life he viciously torn and haunted
Had she had known who he had been
She would not have ever let him in
For he trashed her and bruised her
And spread her name
And open her eyes to this shameless fame
She was a damsel
Quite immature mama said
I feel her pain
It’s so insane
Oh what ah flawless beauty!
5. When He Ask You the Question
The Weird Question
The Nightmare
When he asks you the question;
There was this question I couldn’t answer
Last night I had a nightmare
Do you love me?
It was totally weird
I crept under my comforters
You might say yes
I am sure I found it on a crimpled paper
For the night was cold
Or you might say no
In a library book I taught I’d read later
I was scared and home alone
But the lucky guess
Was it in Finnish or French or Spanish or
Dutch?
You know is yes
I heard echoes of laughter from under the
bed
Monsters came I am sure cause they said
Tonight you are dead
They laughed out loudly and echoed my
name
And spat fire of burning flame
I screamed and shouted let me be
But they grinned and chanted
continuously
Cause next thing waiting there
Is somebody who don’t care
Oh! you better say yes now
Oh! You better not say no
Had it have been I would have known the
answer
Was it scribbled or typed written or had it
meant much
Had it have been I would have known the
answer
It just said: “?”
6. This is why
Hidden Intentions
Good Morning
This is why I am this way
You looked at me
Good morning the sun is peeping
You look at me and say
I had no idea who you be
Waiting to welcome the new day
What a shame look how he has sank
To me you be what you looked
It hurts this is why I cry
My heart you taught you took
Good morning, good morning the trees
are swaying
I remember you well scoffing at my pain
I was wrong; tis my song
The morning is fresh, oh beautiful
morning;
This is why
Every time I think
Waiting to welcome a new day
I will stamp on my past
I am glad I did not sink.
Now that the day has broken
Step on my edge
Jemima Rivas
What a beautiful open
Lift up my wings and fly away
It has pushed away the blackness of night
I can be
Only that we might
Whatever I want to be
Fate
This is why
I am scared of my fate
I will be me
Going at this fast paste
Live to my fullest potentiality.
Not knowing what to expect
Jemima Rivas
So much tragic incidents I met
Oh my fate my fate
I have to hold faith for my fate
Oh my fate my fate
Enjoy a beautiful day
7. Ant
Fireworks
For she was crying bitterly
Oh beautiful ant;
In the gloominess of night
Then she did the scariest thing
How precious art thee?
Hearts shivered continuously
She snatched me and emptied her trouble
You make me look in wonder enviously
Like magnets they pulled together quickly
As you look viciously
In a car park filled of cars
I guess all who likes fireworks should
decline
Your clippers drag the ground as you take
the lead
Where drizzled waters had left remnants
For all they leave is rubbish behind
Plastered across the shining windscreens
Then you grasp at a very huge cricket
indeed
One was the lighter
Oh what marvellous faith
The other was the bum
Then others come to help suddenly
Then together they made a colourful night
Oh what marvellous unity
By creating fireworks
I have lost track now you are all the same
They made such strange noises
Alert me next time you drag a cricket to
your nest again
That attracted nearby passerby’s....
South
I went south
To my father’s house
With scary boots and airy trousers the
trees didn’t need to learn fashion
I am sad to say the bush wasn’t my
passion
But fireworks never last forever it’s a sadly
costly joy....
Oh why did I visit the country land?
For another day I saw her on the spot
I saw green pastures and gigantic trees
Didn’t realise at first I was thinking a lot
I planted seeds, father plough the land
“Hi doll sup”
And I helped him dig bags of yam
I trembled when I saw her stare up at me
Then I met with the banana man
I went south
8. I went south
Snacks
I Have More to Live For
And I felt ill
Buy Grains for Me
The car scattered
I felt dizzy and released my fill
Cause You Owe Me Money
They all looked battered.
I fainted
I Not Buying Any Grains
But on me
Sis said I felt face front on the floor
I Will Give You Back Your Money
The only thing
I got bitten by monster ants
Cause I Only Buying Grains Grains
That was truly battered
A size I have never seen before
What Happen
Was my fate
Oh why did I visit the country land?
Your Name Is Grainsy
While I sat there
Papa is funny and cute too
But You Always Buying RAISAN BRAN
At heavens gates
He can show you things you never new
It is my money
I realised I had more to live for
But Where I live is fun
But I don’t call you Bransy
As he said authoritatively
For there are people around
What are you doing?
And even the ants and mosquitoes are
friendly
Slow down or you will get killed
There are airplanes and so much more
Tell me what I went south for?
And I realized I have lost control
I know now that I have more to live for
And I know I have lost my car
But I have more to live for
If he hadn’t took the steering
9. I would have been gone
Forgive me oh lord
I know now that I have more to live for
A prayer
I am a terrible person
Although I hadn’t died
I am so sorry Lord
I engage in bad taught
I have wounded my pride
I have sinned against thee
Murmuring and complaining
But I have more to live for
I am no good
Help me to trust you oh God
I’ve met God
Lord I feel worthless
Make me again at peace
Forgive me oh lord
With myself
And restore unto me the
Your wrath is too much lord
The joy of my salvation
Who can bare it?
Bless the works of my hands
Forgive me oh God and
That I may begin again to prosper
Make me to shine forth
For I am lost oh lord
Before mine enemies
I am nothing without you
I pray thee
Make a change in me Oh lord
Make me to stand as one
Please lord, restore me and
That believes thee
Bless me with your love
Oh God have mercy on me.
Come again and be a friend
Lord makes me more like thee
And grant the desires of my heart
And help me to keep thy word
10. So I wouldn’t be named
Happy Times
Among the fools that t believe thee not
You have got my face
Oh God how I long to be perfectly thine
Got my nose got my body, curves
Amen
And curls
And still you adored for the cuter one
It’s unfair but I don’t care
Sister Sister Dance’s poses and the
rhyming
My head in a book
You give me that look
Yet you are always the one to ace that
science test
Once I know we are having fun
When we are going out you already picked
out my clothes
Popcorn to the movies
Brushed my hair rearranged my curls
Sister Sister at the schoolies
And everywhere I go people call out our
names
The call us double, call us twin
All the games they say you win
I owe you big for this exciting fame
Am just glad to tag along
Same eyes, same clothes, same look, same
pose
Once I know we are having fun
Pairing off playing love
You do the talking
Doing switching tricks on stupid boys
I will do the smiling
Arm in arm we leave the school
After school when we are liming
Those school days were really cool
I don’t have to think I am always time out
While you plan our whereabouts
