Cathy Phew Poems

Give me a minute of your time
60 seconds to be precise
Before you shut me out
i ask you hear me out
...

It was not by chance we met
nor a mistake to connect
but seasons come and go
they change every now and then
...

Once again,
just like yesterday
nothing has changed
not even this stench i smell
...

Within the silence of my mind
At the corners of my heart
A voice full of scorn arises and asks
What have you become?
...

I have thought about it over and over again
tried to break it down so that i can understand
day and night and i still can't figure it out
so i was wondering if you could just help me out
...

She cannot look into your eyes
Afraid you'll see what lies inside
Imperfection, pain, wounded and grief
She is the girl with the broken wing
...

You knew me from thy youthful self
you fed me and the debt i paid
our kins have been best of friends
yet upon that day when put to test
...

I would not give a damn
about you being in harm
i would leave you alone
if i had a heart of stone
...

An ocean of tears invade your eyes
I see you fighting to hold them inside
The anger within you suffocates your joy
Unable to speak, to express what you feel
...

As thee speak thy words warilly
with thy resonant voice and thy face unfazed
And as i listen faithfully
for between us there was camaraderie
...

With arms wide open, the angels received thee
as i watched, my heart was bleeding
Am wondering, do angels give me kisses
cause I can't stand, the ground has shifted
...

Suddenly the spotlights on me
am confused, breathing convusively
i want to shrink, appear diminutively
i feel defiled, violated and shy
...

Last night i dreamt i lost you
soaked pillow, i cried in my sleep
I woke up and saw it was not true
i was scared, petrified and hurt
...

Cathy Phew Biography

I sat down one day and i needed to speak out, but there was no one there, so i wrote it down.I realised that there is magic in words, how they trigger emotions, pass on a message, opinion, lesson-name it.I am not a pro, i am just a young girl trying to say something to someone, anyone.My life is a revolving door and i have never understood the Grim reaper's criteria, breathing is not a matter of right, its a matter of God's amaizing grace, and our existance pumps oxygen into each others arteries-all this is what i live by>This is our story....)

The Best Poem Of Cathy Phew

Listen

Give me a minute of your time
60 seconds to be precise
Before you shut me out
i ask you hear me out
just listen, i wont shout

When i speak i see you face
unfazed, you don't concentrate
no matter how much i strain
for your attention to attain
you shun me with no shame
ignore me all the same
just listen to what i say,

I don't always speak with words
sometimes my herat will shout
then my eyes will cry out loud
but you just can't figure it out
that am trying to reach out
asking you to hear me out
just listen, this time round

Pass me the microphone, its my time to speak
and i hope you are listening
cause i can't keep repeating
just listen earnestly

When i say that i wont cry
When i say that am alright
When i say that you are the best
my strength and hope at night
Do you listen, do you try
or do my words just pass you by.

I don't want a thousand cars
or the moon and all the stars
I don't want any cash
mansion cribs or gucci clad
Just listen, thats all i ask
..i hope its not too much.
