to sell yourself short.
                💪🏾

Love me
Like you've never loved before
And like you'll never love again
Till I can't take it anymore cos I'm filled up
And until the only thing left in the plate set before me is more of it

Hold me
Like a mother holds her new born child
Looking into its eyes, fast forgetting the pain and whatnots she's been through
Till the delicate smell of your fragrance becomes my shield
And until my skin starts to melt into yours

Touch me
Till your prints are boldly engraved on me
Let your hands run wild and wide all through and true
Let it wander around my body,it's yours for the taken
Don't hold back, this is all I've ever wanted

Kiss me
Till the taste of your lips linger on even after you're done
Till I'm wasted and as drunk as a skunk
Or don't you know your mouth is an ocean of wine
I'll gladly swim in it until my strength is gone and I drown

Leave me
Only when I tell you to which I'm pretty sure is never
Never forget we're bound from now till forever
And even before the clock started to run its never ending race
Let it be the one thing you don't know how to do

This injury not
Worth your worry
None had the power
To take your beauty away
On the outside and inside
You shine like a star filled sky
You radiate charm
Lucky is the injury
Can borrow your elegance
Large hearted to share it
Makes you more attractive
Made fun of by others
Does not matter
Throwing stones at the Sun
Doesn't reduce its radiance
Others making fun of your
Shows their lacking in confidence
Do not waste thoughts
On people without a heart
Do not worry Be happy
You are the definition of beauty
Unable to handle it
They seek humor in your agony
Even in agony none is a patch
To lessen your appeal
Go to class
And give it Class

Core of my childhood
Standing tall till adulthood
Central theme of existence
Is a best friend coexistence

Love the very concept
When identified and accepted
By society as friends
Who stood the test of time

Divinity brings together
Souls in sync with each other
Destiny united a brother
From another mother

His victory mine
My defeat his
Sorrows we share
Two bodies one soul

Lay out life
On the line
For one another
Take the world
Enimity on together

Come across as
Two but see one
Any other way
Not acceptable ever

Eat drink together
Life death together
This entire lifetime
Future lives too

Experiencing the above
Is absolute happiness
Friend for company
Is a soul without worry

Trying to become
A big star
In the movies
Not everyone is lucky
Aspiring actors many
Tried and failed plenty
Trying to earn a penny

No other choice
Still hear their inner voice
Seen ordinary guys turn into celebrities
Green room their only known territory
End up as movie extras
Known as background artist
Tough life waiting to be called
Every extra thinks he's the next superstar
Irony in the fact
Evidence in their favour

Their dreams destroyed
Settled into their new avataar
Part of show biz
Last choice in their list

Part of  crowd scenes
Indistinguishable face no one noticed
A fellow extra the neighbour befriended
Who' also was rejected

Weather and conditions
Not taken into consideration
In costume for entire call sheet
No choice but to make peace

Part of the scenery
They add the authenticity
Movie making efforts collaborative
They add to the narrative

No reason to be treated badly
Dreams did not come true
Written in their destiny
Statistically impossible must have chosen carefully

A profession with dignity
Uncredited or bit parts
Terms as these don't to justice
Things didn't work out as promised

Imagine a movie
Done away with them fully
Watching a movie makes you realise
That you are watching a movie

No greater blunder
Than to make the audience aware
To draw them into the story
Rests on the burden these extras carry

In front of the camera
Everyone is an actor
Behind the camera
Everyone is a crew member

Know their value
Added to keep it true
Name not in the titles
If not for them there is no Title

The white chalk
In the black board
Reducing in size
Spent its life parting knowledge

Akin to a candle
Burning itself to give light
At the hands of a teacher
Imparts knowledge sacrificing itself

The purpose it is used
Does not stay forever
Erased by an eraser
Invented to prevent its staying power

Helps the teacher
Helps the student
Helps build  education
Helps the institution

Unfairly compared to cheese
A malpractice by the traders
Centuries ago to increase quantity
Put  in bad light for no fault of it

Unfairly compared to cheese
A malpractice by the traders
Centuries ago to increase quantity
Put  in bad light for no fault of it

Serves its purpose
Doesn't discriminate others
Its usefulness and its presence
Used like a ladder only to be not missed later

To be emulated
Sacrificed and not
commonerated
Birthplace of erudition
Impartial the world is an learned  place

Rivers Oceans the Sun and The stars
Used as examples of how selfless you are
Alphabets already written for the next generation
Add the Chalk to your gratitude list
