CHILDISH TRIPS

 



I wonder,

How some things are just the way they are

Hard as I try looking for answers 

It's like it is what it is

So I stopped searching for what couldn't be found 


No matter my thoughtful and conscientious approach towards every action I took

I still tripped 

Nothing seemed enough 

Taking every breath consumed by guilt trip 

Not self-imposed but by the vicinity in which I was found 


A single response always discovered a question that required another

Don't start what you cannot finish - if I had known earlier 

Because you tell a lie and like a loop, you may have to lie forever 

All to protect the first one 

only to wake up one day with the cat let out of the bag 

It's like falling into fire in attempt to escape the discomfort of the frying pan

Futile decisions when one truth could set you free 


One moment I embrace love and it's kind 

The next it is shooed away by a heart not so kind

Growing immune to these tender expressions

Laying faith aside as I measured reality by actions 

Words are so silent to the ear even when spoken 

Until demonstrated through actions 


As long as I'm in my youthful days

These childish trips I still fall prey

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
