Growing Stronger Poem by mercy kihungi

On reflecting my past, I cannot recall us
Others could give all to go back while here
I have no memories and are the least of my worries
Nothing's on the frame just a plain unappealing wall

How could you create a hell, while you fueled the flame
You always stepped on reviving grass and you never stop
Digging the wounds deeper. It's so much, it's been burning
me down, boiling my blood. Surely no room for cholesterol
but so much for depression.

I had to grow up fast while getting stronger
Had to mature fast and I am growing stronger
I had no chance to crawl, or be the kid I was, had to walk faster
And with every blow, I promise you that am grew stronger.

It was so much, it's still adding up, I have learnt to live with so much
while getting stronger, stronger, stronger


I watched it all, none attention, never a priority
Always about you, you are so self centred
And always wanna be the victim, you
You never wrong but always wronged
Justifying all your actions is your special place
Mmmh Mmmh Nooooo no not anymore,
Can't no more, try to understand why? What's the explanation?

How could you create a hell, while you fueled the flame
You always stepped on reviving grass and you never stop
Digging the wounds deeper. It's so much, it's been burning
me down, boiling my blood. Surely no room for cholesterol
but so much for depression.

I had to grow up fast while getting stronger
Had to mature fast and I am growing stronger
I had no chance to crawl, or be the kid I was, had to walk faster
And with every blow, I promise you that am getting stronger.

It was so much, it's still adding up, I have learnt to live with so much
while getting stronger, stronger, stronger

I have drawn my conclusion, don't care how you take
By now I have learnt all your response I can guess it already.
You are the source of flames, most misfortunes
You're the reason the rains stops, I relate you with the drought in my life,
If at one point you planted trees they dried or you cut them yourself
know why? You had no good intentions, you never meant good, I
I will never understand you
If a sorry or thank you have no meaning, to you,
It's nothing…nothing and nothing.
But how…
How could you create a hell, while you fueled the flame
You always stepped on reviving grass and you never stop
Digging the wounds deeper. It's so much, it's been burning
me down, boiling my blood. Surely no room for cholesterol
but so much for depression.

I had to grow up fast while getting stronger
Had to mature fast and I am growing stronger
I had no chance to crawl, or be the kid I was, had to walk faster
And with every blow, I promise you that am getting stronger.

It was so much, its still adding up, I have learnt to live with so much
while getting stronger, stronger, stronger
