MY MOTHER

 And so...

She danced with fire on her dark breasts,

With thunder and lightning above her head,

Her eyes were red like crimson.

She called out my name...

A different one entirely, 

I turned blind and deaf to my mother's thunderous call.

I struck her with a four legged table,

Just before father had restrained me.

I wondered if this was my mother:

Dressed in white, covered in native chalks, 

Like the chief priestess of amadioha.

TRIAL TIMES: SURVIVOR

Image
  They say to be completely free... You have to forgive and forget those people who have hurt you, those that have caused you pain intentionally or unintentionally, those who have messed up your life to the point of ruin, those who have made you shed tears till you felt like death was the only option. But it's never easy for people whose reality shows the trauma and pain they have been through.   Looking at those scars, those memories keep coming back nonstop. Now a loved one of yours that has been so patient and loving throughout the entire incident suddenly turns their back on you.

Their suppressed anger and thoughts when they can't really understand the pain and tears you have shed. Every single thought of theirs that they have hidden just explodes and all you can do is stand in shock, they remi...

IMPECCABLE KINGS AND QUEENS

  Dear readers , It’s been a very long time since we connected, my apologies I have been facing some difficult challenges since the beginning of the year but with the help of God, my ever-supportive parents, Truth and Coach Laura I have overcome these trials. I hope you enjoy this article as much as the previous ones. I have been inspired by a very strong and powerful movie I watched. Read on and I promise you won’t regret it. Now let me start by saying have you ever lost a loved one? If you have you would know how much it hurts, not necessarily physical pain but emotional pain. Our reactions differ the way I react is probably different to how you react but what brings us all together is the fact that we will never see this person again, we will never call their name again because they won’t respond. A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE PUREST SOULS THAT DIDN’T DESERVE DEATH BUT ARE NO MORE. Believe me when I say it hurts even more to lose yourself, that moment when you don’t know who you a...

YOU ARE FLAWLESS!

Have you ever gotten to that point in your life where you feel like all you see are imperfections, lies, you have lack of confidence. It's sad really, sometimes you just sit yourself down and ask who am i???,the more you think you know yourself the more you find out new discoveries about you. You see the knife but you are not brave enough to pick it up and stab yourself because deep down you don't want to give up just yet. You want to fight for yourself. They say that if you try to please everyone in this world you have gone on an impossible journey. Fine I understand that but what if you can't even find people who are pleased with you. Those tears pour out of your eyes and yet you can't stop them, sometimes you just want to scream out loud and say i give up!!!. How about when you see your parents putting so much effort into you and you are like "Am i really worth it?" What about their complaint about your physical structure, you look into the mirror a...
