WHAT DO YOU WISH TO HEAR

I would ask you what you wish to hear 
I have lived so many lives in my mind
I would have asked you to close yours eyes and read this but how is that possible cos the mind sees deeper when the eyes are closed. 
I would have told you how I became a brilliant sunrise that starts it all
How I became the warm sunset that brings it all to a glorious end
How I sometimes cry in the bathroom, silently and painfully. 
How my jokes are always dead on arrival
How I laugh the brightest and the loudest at the silliest of things.
How I would torture myself to sleep
How I imagined beautiful faces in different forms and shapes
How I overcame my fears just with a push
How I became fearless when I ought to be fearful



I ask again what do wish to hear
How I became a child from my mother's belle 
How I became less approachable and more hated
How I became the talk of the town 
How I had friends that were never really my friends
How I had gone to explore and gained nothing but failure



I ask again what do you wish to hear
How I became became a lady full of dreams 
How I could count to 2 without counting 1
How I felt I was something special
How I saved from the clutches of men 
How I rattled with my terrifying emotions and put them in check 
How I had to fake it till the end 



I ask again what do you wish to hear 
How I became a full bloom of a woman
How I had a terrific figure
How  I sought to kill myself instead of living the life gifted to me. 
How I thought my life was not mine to kill
How I knew I had to live life my any means necessary
How I yearned for love but got nothing
How I did good things just to impress my God who saw how they oppressed me 



I ask again what do you wish to hear
How I became a story not worthy of your ears 
I ask again what do you wish to hear
How my past, future and present are mixed up in one bottle
I ask again what do you wish to hear
Tell me I will say it without hesitation and this time it will be nothing but the truth
Cos right now I have  nothing else to lose but my life.

NASA's Cassini probe is about to plunge to its doom — and its fiery death may be visible to telescopes on Earth

NASA's Cassini probe has orbited Saturn for over a decade. This Friday, scientists will steer it into the gas giant's atmosphere. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute After 13 years in orbit around Saturn, NASA's Cassini spacecraft is about to plunge itself into the planet's atmosphere and disintegrate. NASA decided to put an end to the mission on Friday because the probe is almost out of fuel. Cassini has provided exquisite details about the second-largest planet in our solar system. Take the hurricanes at Saturn's poles, for example. "These hurricanes are large enough they'd cover about half the continental United States, about 50 times larger than a typical Earth hurricane," says Cassini project scientist Linda Spilker of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Then there are the remarkable, hexagonal-shaped jet s...
