[ ለእግዜሩ ]#Aka_myLifeline_and_Saftey_net

Part of adulting is learning a lot doesn't make sense,
You are told to connect the dots relentlessly,
And a line would unveil itself,
The road would appear as you walk on it,
They say it would be worth it.

I don't believe them,
But even if my years are spent doddling connecting points that don't align,
I rest assured in having You as my unwavering Lifeline

I wake before dawn like a diligent fisherman,
Casting my net on the lucky side of the lake,
Hoping to catch a fish or two for the day,
But I always bring my Safety net,
A place to sleep comfortably in an empty stomach if things don't go my way.

I choose to fly high,
Stitching my broken wings as I flop them in the air,
Building the plane as I fly it.
I can almost hear the Wright Brothers screaming...
'You are doing it wrong sister, you are doing it wrong.'
Haha.

They telling me to 'listen to the inner voices,'
But my soul whispers are deafening,
My intuition is a misdirection.
If I follow my inner compass,
I'd be heading right into an abyss.
My heart needs guidance,
A lot doesn't make sense,
And 'You got it all inside of you' is a big part of the nonsense.

I don't lose hope,
I will try, with all my might,
To connect the dots, to learn the art,
To aim for the bigger fish,
To live past one's wish.
But even if at the end of the day it doesn't make sense,
I've got my Lifeline and my Safety net.

"You should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong, instead."

[On the road to Emmaus]

To finally figure out that you are not as smart as you thought you were is heart-wrenching.
Discovering that you are not as close as you believed to be is soul-sore-ing

All your prized collection of pearls are just rocks and pebbles on display.
The unbreakable bond you thought you had gets shattered like a fragile pot made of clay.
Your cherished home is just another house.
Thinking you're a self-made champ, but the Matrix has always been the real boss.
The pills you have been taking were mere placebos.
All your profits you thought you made were just another loss.

You realize life has nutmegged you countless times,
Like Lionel Messi in his prime,
that at this point, you don't get mad;
you just laugh it off and keep walking down the road...
down the road to Emmaus.

Engaging in any friendly conversations with random strangers,
inviting them to stay for coffee and dinner,
hoping to finally meet the one who could break this curse,
waiting for it all to make sense.

I am waiting on YOU
On the road to Emmaus.

[*💧Confessions from under the water💧]*

Now is the time I share a strange truth about myself:
I am half-human and half-fish,
And no, a mermaid is not typing this.

I am selFish, and I swim in a swirling pool of ignorance,
Channeling everything towards my direction
As if I am a living Bermuda.
A black hole looms within me,
And if I percuss on my soul, I bet it will echo with emptiness

Lord, have mercy on me.
Take this fish out of the water, and it shall live.

@as_hannah_thinks

I am just gonna sneak here neatly and share this

Also, please give this album a listen and thank me later

Merry Christmas 🖤

[Faith, Hope, love *Repeat]

ቢመሽም ደግሞ ባይነጋም
If bad and worse mix well in your life like a perfect amalgam

አላዛር እንደ ሞተ ቢቀር
Even if it doesn't get better

ማታ ለቅሶ ሁኖ ጠዋትም ለቅሶ ቢሆን
If you see the best of your years far in a rear view mirror

ተራራው ከፊቴ እንደሰም ባይቀልጥም
Not only you have to climb the mountain but there comes a bigger mountain after it

ጫካው ባይገለጥ ሸለቆ ባይሞላ
ተስፋ በኖ ጠፍቶ እምነትም ቢላላ
If uncertainties are camping full time in your brain like they are on a permanent retreat
Even if you have to train yourself to sleep to the lullaby of your own heartbeat

.
.
.

I know one thing remains above all

Love

And these shall all be well with my soul

Today's piece is somewhere between #unpopular_opinions edition and an actual poem

Good Sunday

😊🖤✌️

[🕰Peniel🕰]

Imagine fleeing from the home you were born and raised
after manipulating your old father on his death bed and doing your twin brother wrong

Imagine going far away to an utterly foreign country
Imagine to be played upon by your uncle multiple times who also happens to be your employer
Imagine serving fourteen years all for a wife
Imagine serving six more years to actually claim the wage you deserved

And through all this, imagine finding love
Imagine fathering kids, imagine keeping the faith
And imagine the heart of your uncle ,whom you have worked for two decades, turn against you at last

Imagine fleeing from him in fear of losing all that you have slaved for for 20 years
Imagine dreading the day you finally meet your long-lost brother as you go back to the homeland
Imagine your life being a constant journey from one battle to the next,
Imagine having to wrestle all your life like some freaking WWE wrestler.

And at last, imagine wrestling with God Himself 
like you haven't done your share of fighting yet
Imagine surviving
And even better, Imagine overcoming

Imagine getting your hip dislocated instead of being presented with a championship belt
Imagine wrenching a hip for a price tag of a changed name

And when it is all said and done ,
It is the break of dawn and the sun is rising
You want to rest so bad
But you have to go,
And you have to go limping
.
.
.
Had I been Jacob, I know I would have slept before continuing my journey.
Not only slept but definitely overslept
And rightfully so

Oh Jacob!

This is what I was thinking this morning snoozing off my alarm for the third time since dawn
And unlike Jacob,I haven't been fighting all night long.
