Suicide

Friends make memories 
Love ones draw smiles on hearts
The beautiful days created are hard to wipe 
Great and happy moments stay longer than birthmarks

But what happens when you lose a love one? 
When you are betrayed by the one in heart
Just when you shared laughs and smiles and love 
And Just when you bid her goodbye 
Just when you bid her goodnight 

What if she took it serious?
What if that was the last time? 
What if when she said she was going to bed 
She really meant to put her soul to sleep 
To close her eyes from our dark world and 
Open in the other side of town?

What if all along 
She was crying to you?
Silently wailing in your ears
What if every call was for you to answer 
To ask her how she was doing?
What if your duty was just to call and check up
And to provide care like she's your patient and you her nurse?

What if your hands were shorter and she had to embrace her soul in the cold arms of death? 
What if all it takes to prevent anyone from committing suicide 
Is just a smile, an ear to listen and a voice to comfort?

But am I my brother's keeper? 
Are you? 
So is that why we un-look and lash their insecurities with cane (cain)?
Then why do we seem to care when we hear their blood calling for redemption 
Like we are some form of salvation and need an exemption from the feeling of guilt?

There are a lot of people in depression
Repressing their happiness and their will to live
why don't we lend them a listening ear
to hear their cry for help

Why don't we give them a reason to live
A change of mind
why don't we call them back, to align
And why don't we call them mine
Why won't you call them yours

I just want you to know that 
Mental instability is a deadly weapon killing a lot of innocent souls
Let’s look out for each other 
Lets see one another as our own
Our brother, sister, mother, father, our loved one
Together let’s win the war against suicide 
Before it kills us.

Prophetic Exit

I woke up today and gave my life a reflection 
The problem, the sorrows
The failure that follows 
Each day feeling my hopes are empty 
Feeling ashamed and guilty 
When I see my results crumpled and dirty

My grades never had A's
Like it had been immune with some kind of anti-retroviral vaccine 

My life as a student has seen failures of varying degrees and
If it were measured in Celsius and 
Related to a condition then 
I'm suffering from chronic hypothermia 

During orientation my hopes created a vision
And I was so determined to accomplish this mission 
But the semester to promotion 
I wasn't sure of making the transition 
And this really was an infection 
An infection affecting my reputation, position, identity, decision,
Delaying my ambitions, reputation, even my best intentions

So when I sit for a test and see the questions 
I begin to ponder
Ponder over the questions to find an answer
An answer that I try to remember
But as much as I thought I tend to forget that any number over zero has no answer

It's not that I don't learn, 
I do
I just don't get the results I so much yearn
Life is like a cell, a prison
And I have been jailed for no reason
Longing for a better season
While being nailed in it for committing no treason

So in my struggle to break out of this prison, I heard a voice saying
"The only way failure can get the last word in your life is if you choose to"
We have created a hedge between God and us 
As we cave inward and believe the lies
That we are not good enough
So for this reason
we entangle our success in prison
And wait for a better season

Listen
Take a pen, start listing
Zachariah was very old
Elizabeth was barren
David in his family was never respected 
And Mary had no hopes of birthing the Messiah, yet 
God was never late to intervene

Our success was written before we were born 
Making it prophetic
And God is ever ready to bring you out of this prison
So you make an exit
Through the success door
Thereby making your exit prophetic
Your prophetic exit
Without considering your deficit
Nor for you to pay any debit 
For a re-sit
And keep resisting the chains that binds and blinds us
From making out prophetic exit

When you feel broken down in bits
And academic puzzles seem not to fit
Know that there's a God who sews the knit
And for this reason so you should never quit

So rise up, and let's make our prophetic exit

Obsession

Lying on my bed 
I could feel my heart beating 
I don't really know how to describe this feeling 

Lying to my dad
I could feel the pain within 
Every emotion is telling me to voice out
But it's like a tape being used to seal my lips shut

Tears fill my eyes
My lower eyelid serving as a reservoir now getting full
Filled up with the pain, sorrow 
Oh it can't hold on till tomorrow 
My heart has been burrowed
She leaves and enters through the hole she's created
Enhancing its patency, preventing me from healing, from closing up the hole she's created 
Yet I don't remember taking a pros E infusion
See

I can't breathe 
I can't breathe 

That's all I could say
Cos it's like she's casted a tet spell on me
So anytime she strikes I'm forced to crawl 
Humble myself to gain some comfort 
Oh remind me
When did I ever diss comfort
Oh mind me
Why am I having dis-comfort
I thought I could find solace
But I guess not from this comfort 
Its killing me
Its draining me
Its drawing every bit of life from my soul 

But lying on my bed
I could only think of her
Every girl knows that my heart is for her
To me I can tell there's a mutual feeling 
But sometimes it's like an unanswered friend request from fb

Maybe I love her
Maybe she loves me but cannot show it I know
But lying on my bed 
She sees me as a total stranger
Yet I care for her like Christ in a manger
I seek for love and a great future
But in her eyes is the sign of danger

So lying on my bed
I cry, I weep
This obsession is killing me 
My heart is torn
My life is ruined
Who can see the pain I'm going through 
See through my eyes, no lies
Now lice and mice have taken over my heart 
And she look at me and say it stinks
I can't even put on disguise

Yet lying on my bed
I find it hard to forget her
Cos I love her

Excellence

EXCELLENCE 

Sometimes life is like a see-saw
You tend to swing up and down 
Going up higher and higher
And coming down lower and lower 
Only to see yourself up again……. Possibly higher than before

Viewing life from that perspective 
You get to see that to go higher the force pushing you should be greater
So you hide your fears of falling 
And persevering, you go through the hardships of life 

Sometimes you feel you're imprisoned in a cell
Yet you try so hard to excel 
So you merge your cells together 
Column by column
Creating more space to showcase your work
Thriving through thick and thin 
Viewing the thorns as flowers
Knowing that at the end of the tunnel 
Is the light
So bright, 
And so fixed are your eyes, that you do not even stop to listen to the lies,
Only to realize that, negative words tend to hinder progress 

I may be speaking in parables
But my message is simple
Life is too early to give up
They say opportunity comes once
But there are a million opportunities you haven't yet created 

You may stumble, fall, break and cry
But rise,  get your broken pieces together 
Piece to piece heal your shattered dreams and overcome 
There are more within your inner man than you know


The Wright brothers were right when they witnessed the birds fly
Don't be discouraged when your ideas are ridiculed 
Your plane may take time to go into the atmosphere 
It may begin with small distances
But a day will come when it'll shoot up 
Higher than you even imagined 
Higher than the world has ever witnessed 

Life is too early to give up
There are more great things ahead
Life is like the see-saw
Know that, a time will come for you to rise again
Life is like a prison
But to excel 
You'll need to merge your cells 
Row by row, and column by column 
To create a bigger working space

And Life is full of hidden opportunities to excellence

Any Time; a Son's Cry

Anytime I hear the story of how I was born I tend to tear up 
Cos I see not just a woman, I see a mother, my protector, an angel, my queen. 
How you used your last breathe to give my first breathe 
How you embraced the arms of death, and brought me to earth 
And How you gave up your life to give me a life

So Anytime I look at where I am now
I begin to tear up
How you walked through the rains
Even with the sprain
And When I hear stories of the pains you had to endure again and again
Without complains tears fill up my eyes

This woman was a superhuman 
Nine months she endured the suffering 
She used her love as a buffering 
Protecting me from all, she was like a covering 
So anytime I hear her stories I tend to tear up 

My big brother would say
Mother was a fighter
Single-handedly she took the baton and increased the pace
And it was surprising as she could stop to tie up my lace 
Yet she won the race
So incase you don't know; that woman cannot be replaced 

Listen, my big brother would say
Mother is our guardian angel 
She guided and guarded me through to the level I have Attained
She will scold yet clear my paths to get to the height I have obtained 
Mother's love is too big to contain 
Her love was unconditional 

Cos I remember when I went astray
When I staggered away in life like a new waiter holds the tray
And How she felt betrayed
I heard how she'd pray for me everyday
Pleading to God not to delay
Least I fall prey

And I remember
I remember how she gladly accepted me and didn't turn me away. 

Hearing my big brother 
I realized how vague my love for her was
This woman would actually do anything to see us safe 

I am me today because of my mom
And I wish she's here to listen to my words
But I know she's up there with a big smile 
Your stories lives in my heart 
Happy Mother's day Mom
I'll forever love you

Ghetto Dream

Washing the sleep off my face, at me the sun smiled; 
Telling me it’s a brand new day
A bright young day, a foot to start a mile
And to gather my tools and make some hay
 
Washing the dirt off my feet, my dreams jumped beguiled; 
Beamed with great expectancy, my joys aloft
Enough strength to keep my hopes revived
And to full up my hayloft

Yet in my high spirits; 
Sometimes I feel scared and down
I see my dreams split
And my hopes seem to drown

Cause unlike them my path is rough and muddy; 
I know how that woman, my mama she tries
Ploughing the fields yet tough and droughty
And drenching up her purse, tearfully she cries

Washing the sleep off my face, patiently awaits my journey; 
I was not born with a silver spoon and neither will I be pushed on a gurney
So with this mindset I set my mind
That no matter where my dream is, deeper will I mine.

Wedding Anniversary

That very day 
When oaths and promises were exchanged on the altar 
When you walked hand-in-hand on the aisle with unending smiles
That very day
Still plays in the minds of all who witnessed, like it was just yesterday 

Looking at the wedding photos 
It tells an affection, filled with love and passion and a strong commitment 
That developed over the years 
Turning two strangers into best friends and two lovers to wedded couple

You've made love easy, a beautiful sight to behold 
Giving your all
You gave your backs to each other to lean on
And thus creating beautiful memories together

That very day when you gave the kiss on the altar
You confirmed that God's creation is indeed perfect 
Cos time now, giving it's testimony 
That you were destined to be together 

Seven years, You made the journey of life seem short 
Keeping the smiles and love you shared from the beginning 
Looking so afresh every morning
Renewing your love as days went by

You made your bond fresh and strong with time. 
Being your anniversary
Enjoy the happiness from sharing your hopes and dreams 
May you grow deeper and deeper in love with every passing anniversary 
And may your laughter never fade


Happy Anniversary to you

Day Dreamer

They say dreams are real
So anytime I close my eyes, I make an appeal
With my hands closed, on the ground I kneel
And I speak so the creator makes my walk steady and not to reel

My dreams are big; 
But they seem far away
In its pursuit I try to dig
But the deeper I go, futile everyday

Sometimes I tend to swim in the sea of doubts
And as I drown, I look for ways to get out
I see those people I love to heart
Who do not help but tear me apart

Life gives me a lot to learn
The motivations you so much yearn
From your love ones to push you
Up there to your dreams, seem to sound like boos

They say dreams are the reality
But I sometimes think it’s just a formality
To keep us on our toes and thrive
Through this world in vain, even though we strive

So as some dream in their sleep at night
I dream awake, with plans, hopes and might.
