Poem
 A young boy from my neighborhood came to me the other day. he was near hysteria
he said, big bro 
jamb just came out and i have failed woefully 
my parents don't know of this yet
and i really don't Know what to do, I'm confused
i did my possible best 
i prayed and fasted for days waiting on God 
i attended lessons and i prepared well for this exam
i wonder how it came to this.

At that point he was trying so hard to fight the tears 
while he was still speaking 
i became lost in my own thoughts

I was like wow
I know this road, I've been here before 
how did u ever escape that fate?
Not too long ago, this young boy was me 
I still remember back when i was lost and hopeless

All i had with me was a dream 
And it was beautiful 

what really happened?

The only answer that made perfect sense was life happened 

You see, All it takes is patience and the wisdom to realize that even problems wouldn't last forever 

I turned to the young boy and said 
I have been down this lane before 
and I'd be here and be glad to walk with you all the way out of it
what saved me during those moments were the lyrics of a song "lean on me"

sometimes in our lives, we all have pain and we all have sorrows 
but if we are wise, then we know that there is always tomorrow 

I slept wit this song
I woke up with it
I ate with it
I put my faith in those lyrics 
little by little all the pain and sorrows sumed up and fizzled away 
and i realize that 
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor 
I realize that, I'm in competition with no one 
it was me vs me 
I realized that he  (God) was standing by even when no one around 

Do you have phone?
He replied yes
then i said, here is a little gift friend 
I sent him that song"lean on me"
this will be a lonely walk 
you are about to walk into the storm
it will break you 
it will remould you
some days you will cry your eyes out 
but I'm just sure about one thing
when you walk out of this storm, you won't be the same naive little boy that walked in

You will come out stronger and wiser 
perhaps one day, even you too will share this song with another boy in distress.
