She tried

She tried to show you 
But you wouldn’t see
She tried to tell you 
But you wouldn’t listen



Oops! Sorry ma’am,
Miss. “Your own is even better”
Not here to compare conditions 
Not here to measure situations 
Not here for any of the  ‘tions’ 
She just wanted a listening ear
And an empathetic mind 



She tried to show you 
But you wouldn’t see
She tried to tell you 
But you wouldn’t listen



Ę pèlé ooo
Mr. “I’ve been through worse”
Life doesn’t revolve around you
She just wanted help
Her soul screamed for love!



We all have our struggles
But life would feel lighter 
if only we’re there for one another



She tried to show you 
But you wouldn’t see
She tried to tell you 
But you wouldn’t listen



You were blind
You were deaf
You were insensitive 
And now she’s dead
Congrats!

WRAD: The power of words

Hello everyone! Hope we all had a great day. I did! Let me share with you. Every year, since the year 2010, there is a day to create awareness for literacy, a day to inspire children, teenagers and adults (everyone actually) to celebrate the power of words.  This year, the day is the 24th of February, 2016, today. It is called World Read Aloud Day. It is a movement to show the world that everyone has the right to read. Literacy is a right that belongs to everyone. The emphasis is on the word ‘aloud’. This day is not just about reading, it is about reading ALOUD. It is about celebrating the power of words and being a part of the pleasure derived when you read out loud with others. Please note that this is not meant to be a one-man activity but it is to be done with others. It is a day to read and learn in groups and have fun at the same time. There are millions of people who cannot read; therefore the World Read Aloud Day is a day to celebrate literacy and to take action on behalf of

Photo Credit: Deji Adeoba (I love you gan ni) Hello Deelivians! I trust you’re doing great. I’ve missed youuu 😘 It’s my 25th birthday! Whoop whoop! In the last 365 days, I have come to learn a lot about myself. Earlier this year till recently, I had to deal with a lot of unpleasant happenings. That’s pretty normal, right? Life is full of ups and downs. The downs this ldast year of my life ehn! No be beans. I even had a mental challenge for a while about 2 months ago (don’t ask), but I thank God for good people that SLAPPED it out of me. However, something super duper exciting happened to me early in January though. Hehe, again, don’t ask.  To foster positive thinking and to learn more about myself and make me happy, I asked 25 people (male, female, teens, young adults, close people, people I’ve never met, etc) to tell me what they like about me. I chose 25 because I’m clocking 25,lol. This is a sort of feedback and personal behavioral evaluation. What to do with w

I thought I knew you Till I knew I thought wrong My head must’ve been in my heart Coz my mind thought what it felt You were perfectly dubious Loving and hating me at once Your mouth spat love in my eyes And blinded me for a while Oh! I thought I knew you! Till I realized I didn't know me You changed me Then left me clueless
