The Box...

My daughter’s school had their school concert in July; the theme was “Christmas in July”. The parents had to make the costumes. Ms K was going to be a Christmas present which her father referred to as the “box”. Nomzamo with everything else she could have been her teacher chose a “box” I couldn’t stop laughing trying to justify how she is a “present” and not a “box”. The making of the “box” was fun though especially with my little helper :)

Early Mother's day...

My Angel got me an early Mother's day gift today :), she is so adorable.

A brand new kinda free...

Inspired by Alicia Keys track: Brand New Me

 "It took a long, long road to get here
  It took a brave, brave girl to try
  It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
  Don't be surprised, don't be surprised
   ...I'm not expecting sorry
   I'm too busy finding myself
   I got this
   I found me, I found me, yeah..."

The words above are dedicated to my yesterday. 2012 came with amazing and tough lessons, cutting my hair has given me this amazing freeing feeling. I feel like when the hair fell off all my issues fell with it, watching the lady sweep my hair away gone was the heaviness that came with it. I can truly understand the brand new kinda free Alicia Keys is referring to in this track. 14 Feb. a year ago was the day my father died, when it came this year I felt like if only I could just hide away at least till 15 Feb. :).

I pity her

In the darkness I see it all

I see a girl so sad

She just realised her hardening face is nothing to be alarmed of

It’s just the egg on her face drying up

The egg she ended up with yet again

It’s even starting to peel off

Peeling off the layers and layers of lets start over again

It’s u and me kid Oh! What a joke

Just not the laughing kind but the choking kind 

It’s choking the sleep out of her

Her heart beats so fast in fear her role as his fool will be revealed to all

For all to see she didn’t have it together after all

Once again she’s singin the akwaba song

Only to a different tune this time

This time she seems wiser even more stronger
