Death Is Essential.
I say this not out of spite or hate
Not out of love or rage
But death is essential.
If there's anything I thank the heavenly beings for, is that we can opt out of life
They say life is a blessing but to me, there's no greater power than having the option to die
To simply stop existing, to simply take away the pain for good.
D.I.E
And they say "no, life is worth living", worth what exactly?
The bills? The politics? The war? The hate? The racism? Terrorism? Religion?
Tell me how much life is truly worth.
D.I.E
All the work, all the joy, all the love, all the pain, all the shame, everything just to end up 6 feet deep in the dirt
Rotten, stinking, forgotten, grieving
So what's life truly worth?
They tell you you're important, that you matter, just to keep you working, just to keep you in the cycle
You work, you love, you reproduce, you keep working, you're in debt, you're in **** then you die, leaving your offspring to continue the cycle, the madness, all alone and the cycle repeats.
D.I.E
Love won't keep alive forever neither will hate neither will money, we shall all see the pearly gates
D.I.E
We will all die at the end, so why am I the bad guy for opting out early?
For taking the "easy way out"
D.I.E.
Death is a blessing
Death is a curse
Death is a burden
Death is joy
Death is freedom
Death is redemption
Death Is Essential.

Do you know what I hate most about life?
I hate that it pushes you around
I hate that no matter how much control you think you have, you don't
I hate it's uncertainty
I hate it's prideful nature
I hate that it's a bully
I hate that it's a society
I hate the expectations
I hate it's constant change
I hate the loneliness
I hate the void
I hate the desire
I hate the constant chase
I hate the lack of absolute peace
I hate the culture
I hate the religion
I hate the division
I hate the choices
I hate the people
Oh God, I hate the people
I hate the routine
I hate the essence of it
But do you know what I hate the most about it?
What I hate about life?
That it does not end soon enough.

My Obim <3
Oh how I miss you dearly,
I miss your face,
I miss your smile,
I miss your laughter,
I miss your dial.
My Obim <3
2 years has passed and I just now can mourn your loss,
I miss your smell,
I miss our moments,
I miss our childish acts,
I miss our stories,
I miss our sinful ways,
We promised that we would grow old together
We would share our hearts forever.
Oh my Obim <3
How I miss you my love
And no, this is not a letter to the dead
This is the mourning of a friendship lost
We mourn the end of a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife
But no one talks about the loss of a friend, the end of a soul tie.
We might never reconnect again
But maybe in another life, we would work out to be good friends or maybe even sisters till the very end.
I love you dearly
Goodbye, My Obim <3

I'm not happy.
I'm not sad
I'm not mad
I'm not depressed
My feelings aren't suppressed
I'm not in distress
I don't feel upset or oppressed
I'm not just happy
I'm numb
Numb to life
Numb to love
Numb to pain
Patiently waiting for death to take me away.
When my mind began to cloud, I began thinking out loud.

Is it bad that I am happy being away from YOU?
Enjoying my loneliness and being in my head.
Deep down, I don’t want to go back, I’m happy here, maybe even happier.
Is that wrong of me?
What does that mean?
How can I escape from YOU?
Maybe I should come home more, I think I need to be away from YOU more – for my own sanity.

He was a boy becoming a man
He was a boy with dreams
He was a boy who had life in him
He was a boy who had love to give.
He was a designer
He was a youth
He was a creative
He was the truth
Oke wanted to live
Oke wanted a good life for his mum
Oke wanted a good life for his brother
Oke wanted a good life for his lover
So much love to give
So many more memories to make
So many creatives to build
So much history he could have made
Oke was a man
A man who died a boy
A handsome boy, we will never know how handsome he would have been as a man.
Oke wanted to take over the world
He was designing his own life with everyone he loves by his side.
Now, where is Oke?
Where is his spirit?
Where is his creativity?
Where are his emotions?
Where is his smile?
He said "Nigeria won't end me"
One
Two
Three
Nigeria became the end of him.
Gone to the ground, never to be remembered by the world just by those who truly love him.
Where is Oke?
Bury him in Satin
Bury him with the winds
Let his flesh touch the sands and his spirit land in the lord's hands
Let his dreams die
Let his love die
Let his smile die
Let him rest
Where are you, Oke?
Let me come with you
Maybe then I would rest just like you
Let's meet for the first time amongst the sand
Let's shake hands and play in the dark
Where are you, Oke?
A Handsome boy never to be a man
Sleep well Okay? Oke.

I feel empty today. Unloved, broken and beat down. I hate this world, I hate this life, I hate my life. Whenever you’re ready, I surrender.

Christmas is a time of religion, a time for family
a time for celebration, a time for food
a time for songs, a time to be merry, never be wary
a time for joy.
Christmas this year was rather dull, every bite was sour
every blink got darker, the hustle became harder and the bustle
became realer.
Christmas this year was nothing to remember, throats to dried up to sing, hearts flooded with sorrow to eat, the celebration became an abrasion. Santa got stuck in a fuel station this Christmas, his deer's needed a drink,no gifts nor wishes, everything seems so bleak.
Christmas was just like any other month or day in the year,
I've even seen better days i swear.

i had my heart broken an hour ago
i cried for 40 minutes
i still feel the burning sensation in my chest
almost chocked on my own tears
love isn't beautiful
love is a tragedy.
It was our anniversary yesterday,
happiest day this year
i had my heart broken an hour ago
This tears would probably never dry up
My chest would probably always hurt,
but this is the end of love for me
this is the end of us.

Is it wrong to say that i love these tears
hate my fears
and avoid all cares
does it make sense to say that i love you but i cant love you
Im too in love with these tears
Im too terrified of these fears
the warmth of these drops rolling down my cheeks
the warmth of your skin on mine
palm to palm
dusk to dawn.
i don't love you anymore,
My heart is too pure for you
my love is too real for you to reciprocate
my tears fall for you
my heart bleeds for you
but these tears are mine
i'll pack it up and hide it under my bed
these tears are mine
You dont deserve my love
i dont deserve this life.
Take away my fears and leave me with my tears
Give me all my love but take along my cares.
These tears provide my warmth in the coldest nights.

i began thinking out loud.
