I am the queen of what ifs Sitting on a throne of could've beens My fears are my loyal subjects Escorting my dreams to the gallows My ambitions are now prisoners To my court of procrastination I, the queen Reign over all of this regret

I, The Queen
Darkness pervades; an empty whole. Tears fill this broken bowl. The nectar too salty to quench the thirst A brutal reminder of what came first A Blackness, a Void. God illuminated into being. Beauty, Belief, Faith - a false way of Seeing. The futile attempts to make the hole whole, but it's Loneliness that resides in our Soul. In every being sprung into existence the Romantic effort of Man's resistance is Love, hailed as the Cure. But ask yourself, "Are you sure?". At a life with Loneliness by our side Love's importance becomes amplified. But Love is just a wishful lie it is Loneliness that embraces us as we die.

The Void
LIFE Life is like a journey on a train... with its stations... with changes of routes... and with accidents ! We board this train when we are born and our parents are the ones who get our ticket. We believe they will always travel on this train with us. However, at some station our parents will get off the train, leaving us alone on this journey. As time goes by, other passengers will board the train, many of whom will be significant - our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life. Many will get off during the journey and leave a permanent vacuum in our lives. Many will go so unnoticed that we won't even know when they vacated their seats and got off the train ! This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, good-byes, and farewells. A good journey is helping, loving, having a good relationship with all co passengers... and making sure that we give our best to make their journey comfortable. The mystery of this fabulous journey is ; We do not know at which station we ourselves are going to get off. So, we must live in the best way - adjust, forget, forgive, and offer the best of what we have. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to leave our seat... we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life. Thank you for being one of the passengers on my train ! Have a very pleasant journey of life.........! A sha ruwa lafiya.

LIFE
Look at the laughing face then look at the crying face which will be your face then you have got a fate there repose your faith. The beauty of nature is in colour only the landscape can tell if it is safe smooth and bright it shines but dull and torning it shuns. Start today with a smile and sneak a laughter when you can for as light attract fellows light so may your life be bright. But if you are vexed in a frown then today is your day for you may infact be lucky to go to sleep on a sad note. Chose a face today and face your faith for the day.
