We all got a choice to make. We could either carry the past on our shoulders or start over. But if you decide to go for the former, then you won’t be able to make much progress as when you decide to go with the latter. Carrying the past on your shoulders would always weigh you down, either good or bad. If its good, celebrate it and look for ways to be better, because if you feel your past is good and you hold onto it, not wanting to let go of it and start again, then you’ll always be at the same spot and there won’t be any progress in your life. And if its bad, see it as a lesson to learn from and start over avoiding the mistakes you made the previous time. The weight of the past is something that no one can carry on his shoulders especially when its a bad one. The thing about grief is that, you find a way to go over it, move past it, step over it, but that emptiness, it doesn’t ever goes away. So we all just have to find a way to start over, hit that reset button and go at it again. Remember the choice is yours, carry the past on your shoulders or start over, choose wisely.
Smiling is infectious, You catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at us today, We started smiling too. We passed around the corner and someone saw our grin, When he smiled, We realized we’d passed it on to him. We thought about that smile Then we realized it’s worth.
A single smile just like ours, Could travel round the earth, So if you feel a smile begin, Don’t leave it undetected, Let’s start an epidemic quick, And get the world infected.
Remember folks, The best form of love and kindness, You can give to one another, Is just a simple smile. Cause it takes just a single smile, To make a dark day, Seem bright.
You can’t change your friends, but you can change your friends. Yeah, that ain’t no mistake, you read it right. We all have friends, be it a lot or just few. Some we’re proud of, while some we not proud of. So if you got friends that you’re not proud of, or their behaviours and you’ve tried but failed to see that they change, it’s best you bring that friendship to an end and not try to force things to work well because an unhealthy friendship is unhealthy for you. So know that you can’t always change your friends, but you can change your friends. Still confusing???? Drop your questions in the comment section and ill reply you as soon as possible.
I can’t promise to love you forever. But on some special days like this, the love I have for you can’t be described with mere words even from the greatest of poets. I’m proud of the person you’re gradually becoming against all odds. Last year you were in a bad state, wouldn’t say you’re out of it now, but you don’t feel like you can’t be. You deal with so many silent battles but yet you find a way to make sure those around you are always happy even if you’re not. You’re phenomenal and I know it. It’s said that everything that breaks you down, could also build your character and to you even losses are victories, that’s just Phenomenal. You were made for more, you were made for greatness, I could tell that the minute I first saw you. The journey of your life might feel like a rough one, but still is an easy one cause you got families and friends who loves you a lot. The path to greatness is never an easy one, yours is one to be remembered for generations to come.
You all ever got this feeling, Like you think you know it all, And then out of the blues, In just one moment, That special moment, You realized that you’ve been wrong all along. I had always thought, That I’m the Author of pain, Cause I’ve always been a victim of this pain, When asked, why choose Author of pain, I always said; I didn’t choose the name, It choose me. Maybe I’m always comfortable being sad, Maybe no matter how hard I tried, I’ll always be a victim of this pain. Everything’s gonna be fine My therapist always said, But nothing ever seem fine with me.
This made me lock the door of happiness, I destroyed the door of love, I choose solitude over intimacy, I traded my joy for my protection, Because all intimacy ever brought to me, Was nothing but more pains, Or so I thought?
But in that one moment, When I opened the door of happiness and love, When I picked intimacy over solitude, Then in that moment, I saw things for what they actually were, I’m Author of pain not because, I am addicted to pains, Nor was I a victim of these pains, I am Author of pain, Not because I was comfortable being sad, But because I was a master of it, I could turn your pains into happiness, I can show you millions a reason, Why the pains you might be going through is not the end of you, With my words, I could heal you of all your pains, With my poetry, I can turn your pains, To your mental Notes.
But love, that word, In a city where love goes by the name of every street, Every house, every apartment, Of every room, of every bed. Of all the dreams, Of everything forgotten, Of every memory. My love, I don’t love you because of me, or you, or both of us. I don’t love you because the blood calls me to love you. I love you because you’re not mine. Because you’re on the other side.

I wish i could see you one more time, Just hearing your name makes me realize, How much meaning you added to my life. Each time i try to forget about you and move on, Our favourite song comes up on the radio, And listening to it alone, Makes me realize just how much I miss you. I dream of hearing your voice everyday, But reality dawns a rainy day, And now I’m, Sadness, tears and blues. I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, But death gave you no choice, Snatching you away from me. Your soul appears to me everyday, Telling me everything is fine and i should move on, But i wish i was dead, So we could listen to our favorite song together, In a better place.
The anguish I feel The sadness I feel lost In this bondage I called a life My heart feels nothing but empty Behaving like a maniac has become an every day routine I so much hate me but I love them They said self love is the best but I do hate me for being like this Pretense from people close is now like a norm Betrayal keeps coming from every angle No one to talk to Trusting someone is now a disease I need help
Depression is setting in, help me I need a break from this hell They all said I’m depressed from a heartbreak but I never fell in love I know me nobody else does I understood me perfectly Help me. Dying does seem like an option but suicide isn’t Help!!! I need to live I need to be happy I want to forget all that has ever happened to cause this Help me!!
I don’t need something to just make me forget my emotions at that particular time I need something that will make me forget everything It’s okay phrase is taking longer than expected I need to be okay I need to be alive I want to be fine I want to be free It’s not okay to not be okay anymore I want to breathe I want to be loved I want to feel loved I want all bad memories erased I need that hug I need those sweet names I need to feel alive.

I just want to run away, To a place that feels safe, A place where my past can’t hunt me, To a place where I’d be free from all this traumas.
The heartbeat in my chest is starting to feel weak, I can feel it fading away, And the only cure for this Is finding that place, Where the bad days doesn’t come as often As this, Where I don’t have to be afraid of my thoughts, A place where I can be free.
Just be yourself, everyone says But just being myself, Has brought me nothing, But depressed mornings, lonely afternoons and sad nights. This might be the last words of my weak heart, For the heartbeat in my chest feels weakest tonight, So weak, it can’t live to see, Yet another day.
Madams! close your eyes! Pick your axe! and let us prey on those Adams:
Who forcefully took off our clothes, tasted our honeypots, denied us of our crimson joy and leave us to shrink in the cold blood of despair.
Madams!! close your eyes! and let’s fill this cup, with the blood of those herdsmen: who made us battle with loneliness in the warmth of our bed Who suddenly turns our children into overnight Abíkú and Sees massacre as a panacea to replacing their cattle. Madams!!close your eyes! and let’s prey on those Adams; Who pushed our sisters into the icy hands of death Who uses their physical strength as an instrument of oppression on and uses the Holy book to back up their claims.
Madams!!close your eyes! and let’s prey on those Adams: Who made us fall into the ditch of love and intimacy. Met us as singles and ran like Usain Bolt after making us double. Madams!!close your eyes! and let’s prey on those Adams: Who walked us to the aisle and loved us to the moon, when we still had the hour glass shape. But, now dread our present presence, Because, we are now as big as an elephant. Madams!!close your eyes! Pick your axe! and let’s fill this cup with the blood of those Adams: Who we stayed and suffered with, during their ugly and bitterleaf times and took another Madam in, during their beautiful and honey times. Madams!! Close your eyes, I know we have sinned, But, God forgives sinners. Just pray to him to allow those Adams whose, lives we have preyed on, Now rest in perfect peace
DEDICATED TO ALL THE WIDOWS, ORPHAN GIRLS AND RAPE VICTIMS.

The purpose behind this journal is to enlighten the general public on the importance of our lives. We live in a world where pain is inevitable, and these pains brings discomfort to our lives, and a lot of the times the end result is suicide. It’s a shame to us, that when we see our fellow brothers and sisters going through difficulty at some point in their lives, instead of helping them, we just laugh at them and use it to mock them. A lot of times we see this life as a competition, as a battle of the fittest which is why we don’t help others. The world is gradually coming to an end and it Is not right for us to end it with our own hands; the rate of suicide is rapidly increasing thus bringing the end to the world closer. Through the many stories, poems and articles from various writers across the world that seek to explore the crucial aspects of pains, I hope the world will begin to see people for what they truly are. It’s my prayers that the world will condemn suicide. The lives of each individual no matter how rich or poor, educated or uneducated, sane or insane are God’s gift to humanity and committing suicide isn’t a way out of any problem we face in this life. Committing suicide is a great sin in life, perhaps through writing, poetry and self expression, I and other great writers will successfully destroy this act that only brings more pains to your family and loved ones instead of ending yours.
