I saw it from afar. The steel rod protruding from the surface of the earth with its sharp edge. I thought, "Nah man, its too far along the path and doesn't look that lethal. & besides, you can take a different route." But being stubborn and curious I kept on walking along the same path, and as luck would have it I removed my eyes from the steadiness and tripped with the heaviness of boulders. As I fell I thought, "Ass hole! you saw it but never thought you'd trip over it," there was nothing else I could do as gravity took over. I just yelled, "My heart!"

Unchartered
Why anyone would think we choose this baffles me;
I mean… we are left manacled in our own skins even after we
are free
The morphology of our skins and the eyes through which we
see
Torn!
Why anyone would think we choose this baffles me;
I mean… we grow up teased, marginalised and feel unsheltered
We grow quick, quicker than the average Joe
And all because we do not fit a particular mould
Torn!
Why anyone believes we choose this baffles me;
I said we grow but never up-
It always comes packaged-
The forward and upward distribution of our physical being
Whereas the psyche is left trapped, somewhere in between
words:
“usistabane, morphie, what’s wrong with you?”
Why anyone chooses to believe we pick this stream baffles
me;
We grow longing for that which was long absent, love
We get to be of age but never without chains
We try, yes we do
We try but the manacles hold us back
We enter into places unchartered, unknown even to those who
came before us
Why anyone thinks we choose this baffles me;
Tears, loneliness, internal conflicts- the like
We love so much but cannot trust
Why anyone think we choose this…
