A Broken Heart in the City

I was young then and filled with dreams
I was a bee, for I could not be swayed from my work
I was a perfectionist to say the least
Because I had a preplanned future
And time was the only thing holding me back

I remember his words clearly
Like the light of day at dawn
I can still hear the echo of his voice
Booming into my tiny head
“Don’t let the city break your heart”

Soon afterwards I went to the city
The big rich city dad has been telling me about
For it was finally time to meet my dreams
And dine with them for life

I was cautious of everything I set my eyes on
Because dad warned me of it, that it wasn’t safe
True to his words, I witnessed it first hand it wasnt safe
But my heart was still beautifully made and beating

Then one day I saw her
The one I thought was made for me
As if she just fell from heaven to my laps
And I wanted her to be mine

I was experienced at being inexperienced
In matters of the heart
For I always believed she will just walk in
And everything will fall into place

No sooner had I anticipated
She was already head over heals about me
As those were the exact words
I was the happiest and intoxicated in love

I forgot all the teachings I was taught
For this was the missing puzzle from my heart
Days flew by and it was perfect
Until it became sower
And just as she came
She vanished into thin air
Taking with her everything I owned
Including my young and now broken heart

It is then that I knew that this is what I was told
What I was always warned about
And not the city as I tend to believe
Then I remembered again
“Don’t let the city break your heart”

With determination
I vowed not to mess this time again
For once beaten twice shy

Bio

I was raised in Kitale, Kenya by a single mother and a loving family. The best family I could ever wish for.

I fell in love with words, articles and writtings from a tender age and since then I loved it. I came to discover about how good I can be at poetry while in form two. Since then I’ve been upto it, writting for pleasure, and for money ofcourse

I would love to inspire the world through my writtings especially the younger generations like myself. Sometimes the youth have alot to say, alot to wisper about but lack the courage to do it and a way to voice it out. I want this generation of ours that is filled with challenges, drugs and heartbreaks to find hope through my writtings and hang on in there for tomorrow is another day to keep on fighting

I also have these other books in wattpad, namely:

1. Wounds of the moon

2. My Unknown Lover

3. Sonets of Love

4. Random Feelings

5. A Circle of Betrayal (Novel)
