There is a world inside me That is painted with colours that do not exist There is a word inside me That cannot be written or read Every life is like a book There is always a chapter That would bring you to tears My life has been a hundred of those pages And my days are spent hitting rocks at the bottom of an ocean But some days I come up for air And I feel life gracing my lungs It feels so good to be alive those days And I see clearly how Everything that drowned me Taught me how to swim.
Everything that drowned me, Taught me how to swim.
My name is Jenim Dibie. I'm a poet and writer. I've written four poetry books so far - Scarcast, The Calligraphy of God, How To Dance In Time, and I just released my fourth book - Birdsongs.
I started writing poetry at an early age, and it has been the sole passion of my existence. I’ve written over 500 poems since my childhood. I love writing, music, movies, reading, dancing, and The Office.
I decided to start blogging to give the world a warm hug, just as words have embraced me all my life.
I hope to one day live in a house by the sea, with 10 dogs, and write a 100 books.
May you find color in my black.
