21 Days of Solitude by Asekho Toto (best electronic book reader txt) 📖

It won't be bad

Staying home for 21 days
Won't be that bad
Because I have my phone
And data
Adding to that I have a lot of content
On my side.

 

It won't be bad
To spend my days by myself
Not interacting with no one
Because I usually talk too much.

 

It won't be bad
I'll be facing with my family 24/7
Really, it won't be bad
Let's wait
And see
What this 21 days of solitude has in store for me.

9 am I'm still in bed

 

Maybe if I could wake up
It could help
But it is not guaranteed
Because these warm blankets
Are the ones which absorb my soul
They make it
Feel safe again
As Juliet feels safe
When he is with Romeo
Forgetting the family Feud.

 

If I was in the Eastern Cape
My Aunt would have already waken me up
And told me
To go and take a bath
In her my cousin's warm shower
But I'm not there.

Listening to Clayton Jennings

 

Yesterday I slept listening to gospel
But today I had other plans
Maybe I needed a little motivation
From other poets
So , I decided to choose Clayton.

 

All he did
He told me about God
Some of you would like that
Since it is Covid-19 season
Because you want to be saved
And know God for a little while
But that's not me
I'm already saved.

 

All I need is the strength
To write powerful poems
And able to tell you all
Everything will be alright
And this will pass.

I miss you

 I miss touching you
I miss kissing you
I regret the day
I allowed you to leave
After these 21 days
There'll be hell to pay
Because I truly miss you. 

I'm bored

 

I miss my friends
I miss all alcohol
And other things
But are they worth it?

 

During this time last year
I was at varsity studying
All things were good
And planned
Covid-19 arrived
And interfered my plans.

Woke up

 

In my area
We don't follow the law
We were told to be inside
But we explore the realms
We already know
Because we don't want to be told
What should we do,
If you ask me
That is totally ignorance
Because you pleaded for your life.

 

I woke up
And decided to stay inside
Because if I don't do
Covid-19 will test me
That is not I want.

God, I write to you

 

I miss you
I don't find the worship songs
Satisfy my love for you.

 

Every person I use to talk to
He/she is quiet
Maybe they are annoyed by me
Why wouldn't be?
I'm also annoyed by myself.

 

I'm not worth it
Even on my love life
She has given up on me
Because she ignores my messages
Yeah God I need you.

 

I think God
You want me to spend time with you
And I'll do that
Because I have leant that not to trust
The people of this world
But only to trust you
And you never disappointed me.

God is here

 

We have cursed you
Called you by names
But still you remained by us
God, we don't deserve your grace.

 

Worshipping you
Is the best thing that
A person can ever do
Because you are filled with love
And you never back down from your promises.

 

Today, you need to be praised
But only today but forever
Because you have blessed each of us
Even those who don't believe in you.

 

God, you are here
And you never Left
You are my Faith
You are my Hope
And you are Grace.

Depression is near

 I wouldn't lie

Depression is coming as an air strike

During this lockdown

And it is prepared

To ashame me in front of my family

Maybe being close to God

It won't dare to take another step

But no one knows.

 

I haven't thought of myself lately

My care is for those 

Who are dying from mental health

Because depression is near.

Are you?

 Yes I love you

But I won't be able to spend time with you

It is God's turn now.

 

Yes I miss the kisses and hugs

But God is more important than those things

He is my everything.

 

What am I feeling now?

Is it jealousy?

Are you literally jealous?

If that is so

I won't choose you

But I'll choose God.

 

I'm the only one

 

Waters are fast

But there is a place

Where they stop

They are calm

They ain't raged with anger anymore.

 

Our relationship is at a point

Which love itself is angry

The happy moments are over

The laughs are over

And the dates too.

 

I don't want to lie

I love and need you

Even though

You keep pushing me away

From what is mine.

 

You could try accuse me

Of having numerous women

But you don't

Because you trust me.

 

You could sing the song

I'm not the only one by Sam Smith

But you won't

When you are the only one in my life.
