You Tried Mum...



Dear first born, always remember I do not have much to offer
All I've got is unceasing prayers
But if I'm left with no option than to offer you my last bread so I die out of hunger
Then so be it
Because I'd rather die giving my all to sustain your life than to live to see you die"
Her first and last advice I heard.

Man can't be ungrateful
That really hit me hard
Obviously she's got many troubles that I do not understand
Probably during her prime ahe lost while playing her cards
Maybe, just maybe, she didn't know how to play them well or she's tried all she can
But life still chooses to be hard on her

"This is the truth son:
If you follow your friends and let their lifestyles eat into your brains
You'll never live to appreciate my presence in your life
Wake up and put on your thinking cap!"
And in every sense she was righ.t
Lo and behold stepdad confirms it,
"You know your background has nothing to offer you right?
However do not think of yourself as inferior

Friendship! My dear, Friendship!
Know that it can make and/or unmake you
Therefore being aware of the risks involved although you can't do without, be circumspect in
choosing whose lifestyle you want to imitate
Do not be like them because the best person you can be is you"
Those were stepdad's words
To me things do fall apart sometimes
But I also understand all things work together for my good

Today is a day set aside for her
I do not know if she can see and/or read this
But it's something from my heart
And I can't help but to release it
Happy mothers' day mama
You're my superhero, my everything
My wonder woman !

HOW HE ENTERED ME

Image
Gosh, he's huge and he's going to enter me. Though I've dealt with pain most of my life, I still wonder how this will seem to be. Especially when I take a glance at little Phoebe and after he entered her. It's like his very touch made her whole life sad. Who was that who entered her? But on the other side, look at Valerie too and how she carries herself about. Was all that not after they said he came into her life? Now she's as joyous than she could ever be. All  because of him I presume. Who is he? Well, there's a man who said he'll never leave "me" nor forsake "me". Through the darkest points and behind closed doors he'll be "my" key. I remember the Sunday school madam said that's what God said. But he said he could be him in my life if only I may.   My life's not being perfect, far from what I thought it will be The wrongs I've done and things I've touched. The lies I told, infact on s

FROM MY SIDE : THE LAND OF CORONAVIRUS

Image
The year started beautifully as churches, organizations and institutions started shouting their themes for the year at 12am during 31st night. Everything was magical, different kinds of beautiful fireworks were thrown into the sky just to welcome this year. The year looked promising at least for me as a young lady I had lots of activity planed as my new year resolutions, but little did I know that the year also had its own plans .I woke up one day and heard Chinese were dying. But the question was why were they dying, what was going on there, and then I decide to research and found the exact thing killing them. CORONA VIRUS. I have read the lexicon, I mean the dictionary from page to page, cover to cover but I never came across this word. I thought I had seen it all, not knowing some were in stock for me to witness. CORONAVIRUS, a word which when people see, they could tremble, at the sound of it people begin to shake, not to the extent when people come into close contact w

University:The place to have sex?

Image
University is the place to have sex? Before people enter university, they have the perception that to have sex there, is simple like rolling a dice. Is that so, or is that a joke? If that's so,  are the boys the cause or the girls at fault? I thought relationship in the university brings about this sex Issue,  but that is no longer the case. If you are a darling fresh boy, If you have the money, If you have the class, the gateway is opened to you. Are the girls now cheap? Or to have sex is now the latest trend. It's always said that, it is difficult to find a virgin in the university. I always never believed it,  because it's like saying, a fish can climb a tree. But until I entered, before I realised it. So are we now going to still make this perception rule over us? Or is it now Satan? Do we now smell Satan,that he has something brewing in hell’s kitchen  for us. . it’s been a long time he did stewing. Has he concocted a recipe, full of immora
