Journey called life

A long ride doesn't always last the whole day
It is a typical journey
One that will definitely end
At the same time it makes a story
Of someone who sets the trend

The decisions are fully individual
Totally personal
Absolutely in your hands
And maybe some other persons
Now depends on who those persons are

The race might wear you out
But you won't go down South
You'll stay afloat
As you paddle the boat
Just the way you love it

This journey of ours
We want to be eagles that soar
It's entirely in our hands
It comes with so much strife
It's the journey called life

Beautiful bruises

Everyone is blind

Not that we can't see

Of course we can

But all that we see is all we want to

We don't see the thorns

We only see the roses

We don't see the tears

We only see the smiles

We don't see the hunger

We only see the packs

It's all a matter of the mind

We are blinded by our thoughts

Till we get to that point

Where we can't see any further

I want to leave this thought-life

I just want to live a real life

One where I can see both the thorns and roses

Where I see the tears behind the smiles

Where I see that those packs are that of a hungry man

I want to see deep down this shallow sight

I want to see beyond the horizon of my thoughts

It's all I ask for!

DEAR SOCIETY

DEAR SOCIETY
Dear Society, we are a part of you. In fact we are the very being of your existence. We humans as the
make-up of you come up with all sorts of rules and norms and shove them up one another’s throat. I’m glad and not sorry to inform you dearest that despite how almost everyone lives today there are still some of us who do not conform to your norms! We are still a part of you but set our standards based on individual preferences.

Marriage and love are two beautiful things whose images you have tarnished. You have made it look like if I am not married at a particular age or in love with a member of the opposite sex, then I somehowhappen to have failed. Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you but marriage is not a yardstick for success in life and neither is love. Everyone has things lined up as they want but things do not always happen as planned. So next time you want to shove something up my throat as regards marriage remember that it is my choice not yours!

The slim beauty (or perfect-looking guy) or nah, hello!!! Whether I am slim or fat the fact is I am
beautiful in my own way regardless of the society’s impression. Now this is not to say that I should be fat and unhealthy but that I am confident in my skin and you cannot change that. If my weight poses health concerns I will work on that based on my own discretion and not your norms or standards. Slim doesn’t mean healthy just as having some flesh isn’t equal to unhealthy. Therefore, before you educate me onhow fat or slim I should or shouldn’t be make sure you know the terms related to my size at the particular time. And before you conclude too I might just be working on it so keep your norms to yourself and let us all be happy.

Rich or poor, my monetary status today doesn’t define my values in life. Thank you for making people see poor people as being poor in every aspect of their lives and the rich as being rich in every area of theirs too. The majority of us who make you up have successfully twisted the meaning of both words to suit our own purposes, feelings and world view. So, dear Society, my bank account doesn’t determine my values in life. We’re still all humans with just different pocket sizes.

In recent times, everyone seems to have a standard that has to be followed in order to be loved and
accepted by you. There are many other things that you have misrepresented which are being passed
from generation to generation. It will make us all happy if we each had our own standards and lived by them rather than being unhappy trying to live up to societal standards.

Dear Society, before you start dishing out rules, standards, and norms to everyone remember that every individual who makes you up has a right to choose his or hers. So rather than shoving yours up our throats, you can as well make use of them and we’ll make use of ours.

Dream saga

Everything I want is to stay here
But then I fear
For it feels so good
It appears too real
Seems too good to be true

My very place of choice
The one place I just want to be
It's too pleasant
I deeply wish that it won't fade away
I strongly desire that it never leaves me

Wake up lady!
It's only a dream
It flows like a stream
Just till you snap out of it
Come back to reality

It is eventually going to fade
It's going to leave you
Like they all do all the time
Because it's an illusion
Just a joke with your mind

That is another joke
Some dreams come true
You just might be lucky
Take caution anyway
Because it either happens or .......

Dear God

Dear Father in heaven, you are too wonderful💯💯, too good 👍🏻👍🏻 and too worthy 🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️to be called by a mere mortal and sinner like me. Amidst all my sins and iniquities Your love for me has never diminished by the size of the eye of a needle. You love me the same even when I'm busy not loving myself🙄🙄.

Sweet Daddy I really want to say a big thank You, humans might leave my side and come back at will but You God despite how mighty you are have never left me even for a split-second. When I am in tears You come to me as a comforter, when in fear You prove yourself to be the fearless God, when I am in doubt You help me make concrete decisions as my Great Counsellor, when I am in hurt and loss You father still comfort me as the Great Comforter that You are to me, when I am sick You still heal me because You alone are the Balm of Gilead

Holy Lord I have every reason to thank You every minute of my life for every single thing that happens in my life even when they don't go as I desire because You know why You allow what happens to Your children happen to them.

Dear God it's that time of my life again when I am starting a new year, I am glad I started it with You and I pray to end it with You as well. The walk of this year shall be a walk with You all the way and I pray not to disappoint You because I am a vessel of honor moulded by You for Your purpose. Finally thank You Lord for the love that never diminishes no matter how much I go astray, You mercy, grace and love be mine, my family's and my friends' for the rest of 2017.

From Your dearly beloved daughter 'Bekah 😍😍😊😊
