From a friend you'll probably never meet  I hope these few words cool the heat  Trust no man, Ann How huge is your faith in yourself? How much love have you got for yourself? Disappointments put you through hell  You found happiness in men, I read But when will you realize your worth? They should have their way with you until when? Don't be a doormat for them to walk on Wipe your tears and smile again  Muster courage to be self-dependent  Love your little girl,  Ann She is your true kith and kin The unnecessary hate will change nothing  Why make her hurt; hating the innocent,  When she is the outcome of your own mess? Make her your bestfriend,  your everything  Expect no difference when your actions remain same Today is another day to change  Be content with your possessions, Ann What on earth are you after? What's in the chest of a woman, Indeed no man can comprehend  Put your pride aside and respect everyone  It'll make ...

  Regardless, if it be my punishment  What if this was God sent  Troubled within, I was as we parted  An awful way to settle the difference  To make things work His basic amenities were provided  A name was given to the beloved  All by me Over the years The extra: right to be educated  Fathering the innocent lad how I wish I was fathered  Made him a part of my family  Oblivious of the betrayal played on me The results of this test Leave me breathless and sleepless  Flashbacks hit me,  things they said A chip of the old block, the boy of six The pool of tears shared The huge sums wasted  All by me All these years I was blinded  That which I called mine, never was The truth still hurts But never is it too late, to be a good step Act okay to the world and play deaf ears  Love him as I love myself  Hoping God may replenish all that I lost to favours Written by ©Chulqid_O T ( Afrifa Francis Osei Tutu )

Complicated love

 Growing up, If someone loves you, love them back, I heard Life still has me occupied as a student  Everyday, from experience I learn  See whose heart grew cold On our first countenance, you froze Remember? On anyday, it was me you chose Great that I kept my innate desire on the low Never thought I'd wake up to this heavy blow  Our love was on fire  How you made an insipid introvert an interesting extrovert  One thing I admire  Your great influence  For love's sake the negative attitude, in me, I had to inculcate  How you made a cheapskate magically become a spendthrift  I gave everyone else zero space  Always for or about you, my final decisions  We used to be the inseparable lovebirds  A major paradigm of 'Opposites attract', due to our backgrounds from different planets  Albeit our shortcomings, We always reached a resolution like how the day and night make twenty-four hours  Today, there's no balance  Ou...
