KiKi's LAIR

I just realized how gloomy my room looks.It just synchronized with my mood,today had started out well but somewhere along the line it happened, a break up had definitely not been on my agenda. The yam i fried now tastes like sand in my mouth as I look around my room with tear sodden eyes and clothes.Grey curtains and brown paint suddenly  made my room look like a zombie meeting point and I begin to imagine  what life would be like as a zombie. No feelings or emotions just the thirst for human blood. I'd just eat my mother and not even flinch...the thought of it makes me shudder as i shake myself back  to  reality.There are better ways to deal with break-ups i think, like watching a movie that makes you cry so you can tell yourself the reason you're crying is cause of the movie and not him. Well,guess i now have to stick to the old routines of single-hood.

"Daddy see me! Daddy see!" the eight year old pealed with excitement.She had been washing her dad's car and was currently on the roof of the car. She had to prove to dad a girl could do better too. But she hadn't expected the angry yell from dad as he came out of the house. "C'mon will you get down from there my friend!" out of surprise she slid down and landed with a thud on the stony ground. Tears filled her eyes as she tried to suppress the sob that was rising in her throat, she had bruised her knees. "What were you doing there? Ehn?!", dad shouted.She couldn't respond for fear of her tears letting lose. "Who even told you to wash the car in the first place? Answer  me! You should have just left it for Ekene,you're just a girl!". Ekene was the houseboy,she had begged him to allow her wash the car so she could prove to dad that she could be the  boy he wanted so badly. But all that was forgotten now...

Looking good is good business, I for one like to look good but I don't derive my identity from looking good and you shouldn't too. Oh the mascara's quite befitting and I love the way the eye shadow lights up the face but you better be lighting up the walls of your heart cause the true beauty lies within. The content in this context is more important than the container...meaning take care of the inside more than the outside. What defines a complete woman is not what she wears or the hair she makes,its the aura and beauty she exudes from within. I'd rather be beautiful on the inside because that's what  counts,that's the one that lasts. The woman that leads is the one within.
