Life

Kaci Tami 1960 (Vatukoula)

You do not have to move houses
or leave home
To find happiness
It should come from your inner being
And when you are certain of who you are right now
I am torn between a new me
A me I dont like
the helpless me
The concession me
I hate this state of being
Every pore oozes bile
I wish to regurgitate
past moments
past hours
I hold a salve
to my wounded heart
Until I find the cure
to my dying soul
I will continue
this picture of living!

Kaci Tami

I am an aspiring writer, poet, teller of tales that is me. I have always seen things in a different light and from my perspective, it gives you an insight into what makes me tick as a human being. My life is always hectic and the most important thing I have learnt is that there are three things that one should value in life (a) Your loved ones (b)Your health (c) The memories you create with people. In the end, we all leave this world alone, so spend time creating memories and meaningful relationships with individuals and society at large. My poems reflect my perspective on the world at large both real and imagined. I am in the process of collating an anthology of poems so I can share my likes, dislikes and life with others. Thank you for reading my poems more…
