BITTERSWEET

Truth or dare

Tease me not my lies are pure

This tongue blazes with a flame unmatched

A bittersweet syrup mellows down the heat

The white barricades clenched in a piece

Let no deceit linger past the watchmen

Tell me your secrets, I will paint your dreams

Dare challenge my constructs

I will assemble thy portraits in daylight

Freight and I shall sing your traits

Withdraw at its gist and I will break your being

Blades shall spring out, and pools of blood shall flow

No mercy to those who bow

No resentments for the lives gone

You dared question my truth

Now watch thy world crumble

-Nkajja Janice
