Hate.
E Sep 4
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.

When my mind started to cloud, I began thinking out loud.

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

Are you happy?
E Jul 2023
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.

An hour ago.
E Oct 2017
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.

Escape
E Sep 2017
Have you ever been so sad it almost felt like

depression

Have you ever felt like running away,escaping

escaping from your own skin, your own life?

your soul simply leaving your body

transcend into another life

a happier life,a perfect place.

she whispers in my ear

"run away with me, take a leap of the edge and

transcend with me, come dance with me,lets go to a

happy place, a perfect place, lets escape"

She whispers those words to my heart, my bleeding

heart,

but im not ready to runaway

im not ready to give up

im not ready to leap

im not ready to die.

When my mind began to cloud,

i began thinking out loud.

Bad days
E Sep 2017
Shes stuck,

Stuck in a never ending cycle of tears,

Never ending cycle of sadness,

Depression.

They say its a bad day not a bad life,

But she stuck in a cycle of bad days.

Sinking into depression,

Drowning in her tears.

Love is beautiful

Love is painful

Love could be blissful

Love could be dreadful

Love is your lips on mine

love is the war we fight

Love is me

Love is you.

You and i, intertwined.

Awake.
E Sep 2017
Today i woke up sad again

woke up feeling a bit hopeless

a bit lost.

Nothing is the way i want it,

the rain falls when i want the shine,

nothing is the way i imagined,

people arent dancing and singing in the streets

or maybe ive watched too many fairytales.

My life isnt going as planned,

They say slow and steady wins the race,

but im the biggest loser of them all.

I mask my sad wrinkled face with a fake smile,

while hoping for death to take us all.

Nothing is mine, whats mine is nothing,

searching for time yet time feels like nothing.

i lose a bit of hope everyday

soon my depression will be here to stay

i lose a bit of myself day by day

soon the whole of me will become a stray.

Life is so meaningless without happiness,

soon my depression would be here to stay.

Now my eyes are wide open

no more sleep, no more bliss,

Woken in unhappiness.

When my mind began to cloud i began thinking out

loud.

VOICES IN MY HEAD PT 1
E Sep 2017
You dance with tears in your eyes

They dont see past your peircing lies

and as each one dies

so you continue to rise.

You're playing games

but you arent bothered by fame,

and as you dance in the flames

they cant understand the games you play.

Some nights you dance alone at night

with tears in your eyes,

no music playing

trying to keep your demons at bay

trying to understand what the voices in your head say:

"Keep a place for me in your soul,

Keep a place for me in your heart,

i'll be right there when you fall apart"

You've lived a mild life

you've lived a sad life

"so keep a place for me in your sorrowed soul

keep a place for me in your burdened heart

and i'll be there when you finally fall apart"

The poem of a hypocrite
E Sep 2017
Been feeling like a hypocrite
Been feeling like a fool
Been loosing my self daily
Just because of you.
Been feeling so wicked
Cause of my many secrets
Needing someone to share
Needing someone to keep it
They all know I'm a lair
I know they can feel it
Messing with hearts, emotions and feelings
Meanwhile I'm giving him all the time so that he can mess with mine.
Scribbling and dragging his name all over my line.
Been feeling so selfish, self centered and egotistic
But it's funny after writing all these feelings
I still can't really feel it.

When my mind began to cloud,

i began thinking out loud.

Drown at 4am
E Aug 2017
Deep
deep waters, deep colours, deep skies
deep thoughts, deep imaginations.

Drown,
Drowning in my thick blood, my bed swallows me up
and leads me to my death.

Thoughts,
these thoughts are mine and mine alone,
only i can see my thoughts of happiness and sorrow.

Blood,
I feel the stream of anger running through my whole body,
the poisnous venom in my veins slowly run to brain.
slowly drowning my thoughts, how deep can they go?

This bed is my coffin,
these thoughts are mine,
but the silence is so loud,
it gets even louder as i drown,
deeper and deeper i go,
i can barely breathe and i dont even want to anymore.

lost entity pt 1
E Aug 2017
Lost in the world

the ways of the world are much better

much more fun,

Whats life without fun?

They dont know how wild you are

They dont see past the innocent smile.

You was lost

and beat up,

You were too wild

but you never hesitated to follow your desires,

you divided your soul from your spirit

and you could differtiate your mind from your conscience.

I can see you've been hurt, beat down and dissapionted,

nobody to pull you up from the dirt but you

i found you all alone

dancing in the darkness

nobody knows what you are

dancing alone in the darkness

with flames in your heart,

passion in your eyes,

you're too good to be true.

I was also lost and beat up

but you pulled me up,

and said i was just like you

you said I would be fine,

i would follow your lead

and in my fragile mind

you implanted your seed.

You continue to show me what the world is

and soon i'll have to decide my own path.

When my mind began to cloud

i began thinking out loud.

Faith

Her feelings she hides

Covers the fear with pride

she has been beat down one too many times

her flame seems to be dying out with time

Her dreams she can't find

she feels so left behind,

shes loosing her faith

shes falling from hope

her knees are getting weak,

with pain in her heart she spoke

   "Where are you?"

They dont see the tears she hides

they dont know the pain she feels

she hides it all inside

with a beautiful mask of pride

Faith sees the invicible

and recieves the impossible

but shes loosing sight of her spirituality

and has began walking in the reality of vanity

Shes loosing her faith

shes falling from grace

and once she loses this part

it will all fall apart.

— The End —
