  • Son of David

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    I like writing and I love poetry
    I have found a timeless anthology
    Staring at me through the mirror
    A handsome majestic Royal Priest
    Bearing the most noble heritage
    In my veins runs a Royal Bloodline
    From the glorious House of David
    My presence in this world is known
    My presence in my home world is acknowledged
    With an Invisible Crown upon my head
    I am an heir to His Eternal Kingdom
    If I could write about The King of Kings
    I could write just about anything
    For He is everything & everything is Him
    If I have to write more about me
    I would still write Him, just Him
    For I am my loving Father’s Son
    I was born a Crown Prince

  • Let Me See

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    I take a long look in the mirror
    And brokenness is what I see
    Not the glass that shattered
    But the hurt inside of me
    On the inside I hate life
    On the outside I love it
    On the outside I pray for my enemies
    On the inside I’m like Screw it
    If someone’s holding me back
    Then it’s most likely me
    Or something on the inside of me
    Am I the only one often afraid to sleep?
    It’s like my bed is a coffin
    And I’m all alone in my dreams
    My confidence whispers softly
    While my insecurities scream
    Constantly weary ready to let go & just sink
    Why are all these arrows coming at me?
    It must be The Mark on me
    If I smiled more often
    Would you know that’s me?
    I’m invisible to you so pardon me
    Depression is invisible, it’s hard to see
    What happens after death?
    I’m dying to see

  • Wounds to Scars

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    This poem isn’t for you
    This poem is for me
    Do you want to go to church with me?
    She was happy, pick any church I don’t care
    They’ll all be great, they’ll all care
    Made enough promises so I was there
    I’m the guy seated four rows back
    Being constantly yelled at by the pastor
    Little does she even know
    My whole life is one big disaster
    I thought this would make it better
    But the taste it leaves me with is bitter
    Why doesn’t he say who I’m in God
    All he does is say who I’m not
    Because he says depression is a curse
    That bipolar people are demon possessed
    I didn’t come here to be pushed down & pressed
    I came to get this hopelessness off of my chest
    I thought that message was great today
    I wish that pastor was my father she’d say
    I keep wishing he wasn’t while I walk away
    I shouldn’t be feeling like this
    Still hurting from the past
    I cannot heal like this
    Some day I hope to be left alone
    That all this will be worth it all

  • Souled Out

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    Dear Jesus
    It’s now been three years of following You
    And I’m already running out of words to pray
    The more I try to, the less I say
    I cannot seem to get through to You
    You won’t pick on my speed dials so to say
    It’s like You’ve been ignoring my calls lately
    But maybe I do deserve that consequently
    Because I didn’t always pick up for You
    We have the most on and off relationship
    I feel like I’m speaking to a giant wall
    Down on my knees when I rise or fall
    I’m sinking, puking from pills, trying to leave
    But I still get so dry when I heave
    I guess it’s really hard talking to You
    All I feel is shame when I come to You
    Maybe Your Grace really did find me
    Maybe just a little too late for me
    I know You don’t expect me to be perfect
    You’ve never ever asked that of me
    So why are You half as active in me
    As the devil has been all around me
    But I get it, You are God and I’m not
    You’ve got all the answers and I don’t
    So I’m gonna keep on waiting on You
    It’s all out of my hands, but in Yours, it’s not.
    P.S: I Trust You

  • Trapped

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    I’ve got a huge secret for you
    If you promise not to tell
    I’m not okay and I don’t feel well
    I’m so loud in my poetry
    But live alone in my shell
    Look at me, we’re nothing alike
    And it’s not that hard to tell
    I’ve got broken ribs from Christians
    Who kicked me hard when I fell
    Been so ever close to death
    I got a whiff off its smell
    It’s like I have been cursed by a witch
    With a spell-binding spell
    I’m struggling to stay afloat
    If you can’t already tell
    Wave after wave of depression
    I get swept in the swells
    Imprisoned in my paranoia
    I’m locked in my own cell
    What’s the point of living?
    If life’s one living hell

  • Save Me

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    Hey Jesus
    I hope You’re enjoying Heaven
    Because I’m down here miserable
    To be honest, I’m ready to die
    I have no more tears left to cry
    You say I must be strong but I’m not
    I cannot save myself but I try
    I don’t know which version I am
    The called servant serving in church
    Or the good guy chilling at the stoners’ lounge
    Bible verses didn’t help as much as blunts did
    Smoked two joints and the meteors hit
    I didn’t know church people struggled
    They only taught me that sinners did
    Truth is we’re all sinners and sinners’ kids
    I know it’s You who called him
    To build that church for You
    Somehow I felt You cursed this kid
    Who had to grow up and experience hell
    Where You ought to be meeting me
    I’ve packed up to leave so many times
    But how does one pack their own heart?
    Looking for the finish line
    Only to end up back at the start
    I’m literally dying for You to show up
    Will You come down and comfort me?
    Please

  • A Letter to God

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    Dear Jesus
    How am I supposed to describe You
    When I’m a spiritual infant myself
    Lately it feels like You’re too busy
    Hanging out in Heaven above outer space
    So I take this pen and pages
    And I write until I’m out of space
    This is my art, my release to release
    That day when we finally get to meet
    I’m going to fall at Your feet
    LORD You should know You’re all I need
    Only You rushed swiftly to my rescue
    While the devil was busy hurting me
    Hushed the demons murdering murmuring
    Who thought it was the death of me
    You said that I’ll have Joy and Peace
    But that’s hardly what it’s been
    I’ve still got long silent battles
    That I don’t want people to see
    I tried but failed to make things right
    Yet you kept on reminding me day & night
    That You made me for a fight
    Sometimes I get so busy hating on me
    That I fail to see You still loving me
    I read Your Word and find stories of great men
    Talking of a King who saved their lives
    And it’s why I’m here writing to You
    Because I know You’re the very same One
    Who still keeps on saving mine
    P.S: Thank You

  • Lucky You

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    You say you’ve never had depression
    Oh my God, that must be amazing
    Because I can’t find the root of mine
    And believe me I’ve been tracing
    I wake up and my mind starts pacing
    I hate it inside when people trash me
    I also feel insecure when they praise me
    I’m always looking to heaven like
    LORD please come down and save me
    They judge me for every little thing I do
    I heard this about you the other day
    Is it true? Is it true? Is it true?
    As if somehow I answer to you
    Here is a suggestion from me to you
    I’ll do me and you go do you
    I write poetry because it helps with the blues

  • In Repair

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    I’m drowning in my thoughts again
    Not sure if I will make it out alive
    I broke my heart in shattered pieces
    Now I feel like I just lost my mind
    I don’t know how to keep on going but I’ll try
    I lost my perspective, sometimes it’s hard
    To see how far I’ve made it, out of the dark
    Half of my world just came crushing down
    And healing is the hardest part

  • Free

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    I’m breaking free
    I have cut the tether
    That tried to hold me down
    I got a taste of feeling better
    Like I could live somehow
    One step one day at a time
    Getting closer I can see the light
    I’ll keep on trying to find my center
    Until I’m back together again

  • Alone Together

    Mimi Ndiye 🇰🇪

    Where to begin
    This is a lot to take in
    All the thoughts I’ve held in
    It’s been a long time coming
    I hope I haven’t kept you waiting for me
    All along, all alone wondering
    What do you think of me
    I’ll keep it short, I’ll keep it brief
    And summarize it to a simple word
    Like LOVE & how it falls in between
    And my time with you
    Feels like it was surreal
    And it was as right as rain
    The way you said the way you said my name
    And all this time I never knew
    That it could be so wonderful
    To be together alone with you
