So I say a big thank you to for the 100 day poetry challenge. Here's my first entry. I really hope I could see this through.

Have you ever been in your own world?
In your own mind?
Where only you know and hear what's going on there?
Have you ever had your fantasies?
Imaginations only you understood?
Thoughts you couldn't even share?
Questions your mind tries to answer?
I want to share with you thoughts that went through my mind as teenage boy once. I was growing up. I was disappointed by the things I was seeing, in people around me..
I must say that although I know better now and I don't hold same views anymore with some of the things I write here, I am proud of them as they were part of my growth, my finding-myselfness.
N.B: AB1 refers to me
That's the note I kept over the years
These things are written out of time
The outside world;
They laugh with you but really they laugh at you
They sit with you
They think with you
But not for you
The outside world;
I really never wanted it
I spend my time with them but..
I don't want anybody
I don't want nobody
I wish I had my own things
I wish I had my room, my bed, my books, myself... my things
I wish never to talk to anyone
I wish I didn't have a friend
I wish I knew nobody
I wish I had no friends
The outside world
I knew to myself I can be happy
I wish time was time
I wish I love nor like nobody
I wish I could do with nobody
I REALLY wish I talked to nobody
The outside world
I wish to share with nobody
Cos they are unreal
Written out of time
The outside world
AB1, this is what you should do
Forget everybody;
Love everybody;
Do your own thing
Never be carried by time
BE CARRIED BY GOD
Because He is the only one that can give you peace
So like I said earlier, I know better now. I understand the importance of relationships, of life and its essence.
There is no us without others, there's no meaning, alone. We need ourselves, we need our humanity.
Thank you for reading.
