JEREMIAD DUET: "I AM WHAT I DID TO MYSELF" BY XENIALINK, SAKINAH AND AJAKAYE

XENIALINK:

Tears rolling while I smile

I'm not that happy to smile

I have pains

But can't express it

I'm dead inside

My eyes are weak

I feel the guilt still

I did this, I killed her

She won't stop fighting back

I'm not scared to die

I'm going to hell

I'm what I caused to myself

 _...to be continued..._

SAKINAH:

My life is like a bed of roses

Beautiful flowers with thorns everywhere

They say, "keeping things in will do you no good"

Opening up to someone is just as deadly as sin

My scars define me, my emotions control me

I am an illumination of the darkest shadows

The therapist says "it's okay to make mistakes"

...but is it really a mistake if I did it with intention

With the slashes on my wrist

And the darkening of my soul

My heart is lost in solitude

...and I'm lost in my recluse

AJAKAYE:

Counting the grains of others,

and neglecting my tubers,

loving the hair more than the rooting follicles,

forgetting that my dead clock 

attains correct time twice a day,

wearing the face of others

rather than the case of what matters.

Well...pity not me Dear Reader,

Ye I am under the carpet of trafficked thinking,

I'm what I did to myself.
