Still I Rise

By
 

Loud is the silence 
as I can hear my heart beat 
Fear and sorrow are all I feel 
Alone, though surrounded by many 
Anger and his brother, hatred, 
are all they show 
I blame them not as I 
incited my own fiasco 
Giving wings to scoffers to soar 


Uncertain of what today sees in me 
Wondering what tomorrow thinks of me 
I take solace in my paper and pen 
Life still remains, so does hope 
Drowning in a pool of regret 
I realise I am my only lifeguard 


I sat, reminiscing on my awful past 
Wishing I had a better present 
Hopeful still, for the future 
has many days in it 
Awesome days are all I see ahead

 


Rocky has been the path 
Yes, I have fallen but still I rise 
I fell but my legs remain unbroken 
I wiped sorrow’s dust off my 
behind as I rose from failure’s ground 
And took the first step to my 
successful tomorrow

I thought I knew you! Till I realized I didn't know me You changed me Then left me clueless

  How soon is too soon Before the rust on love  Is washed away The first sight? The first hello? Where do you go When you find yourself Nursing a thirst for a human soul So alien to you It dehydrates your concentration Only your eyes can see it Your souls have met That voice That unshakable nature The weird echoes of joy Is all you're afforded Nonetheless priceless They say the third eye is clearest So you're sure That seeing it In your dreams  Is nothing but a good sign Will I ever see you? Or will my dreams  Remain the only bridge  Upon which our stars cross By Deelivia and Damilare

Too late? Nah

 Hi there! Thank you for clicking that link 😘  This is an unplanned write-up. I just wish to share what the year has been like for me. Ok truth is, I have never been the type to end a year in a grand way (relationship-wise) by doing appreciation posts, mentioning names of people that had an impact in my life that year and the like. I equally am not loud about things I will be stopping or people I will be cutting off. I notice many people do that “this new year, I’m cutting off toxic friendships” bla bla bla. My dear me sef, I want to cut my own self off... scratch that. Apparently, the year 2020 was a tough one for everyone globally. Mehn!!!! The first painful thing for me was Kobe and Gigi Bryant’s death, alongside everyone on the craft with them. I wept! I wept like I had a personal relationship with them. I am still not over Kobe’s death. I loved that man. Then I lost a very dear friend in February. There were several deaths here and there. Chadwick Boseman’s death shook the world
