Let Poem Speak...

**It Won't Always Rain.** *Sometimes you look around you and things look gloomy and bad* *Heavy heart wakes you up to another morning feeling sad* *It's too late, I know but sometimes I wish I can go back to being a lad* *A life where I had everything at my tips, from my good and gracious dad* *Right now, with responsibility and growth, I feel life stripped me off all that I had* *Even right now, your head keeps spinning as bills keeps pilling on the pad* *This is why most people say adulthood is a scam and it can drive you insanely mad* *Where is the dream of growing up we once had as a child? It has all become a fad* *Nowadays, we have a lot of adults looking forward to seeing the night draw near* *A relief from the day and still with uncertainty as to what the next day brings* *No mood changes faster when it's the dawn of the day and you have to get up again* *Your countenance takes the hit as your heart aches with the unending cycle* *Most people can't make sense out of this life not their life* *Some stayed away deliberately while some have no woman to call a wife* *Depression hits harder these days due to mounting pressure of life* *It's so sad that the gift of life is now what most people want to end* *Away and far away from the suffering that presented itself to be on a lend* *One thing I know is that, this is not the end, it's just a bend* *When we constantly apply the pressure and not give in, life can also make amends* *It's not from the on-rushing train but at the end of the tunnel there is light* *But you've got to walk the length of it with the whole of your might* *With persistence, you won't hope anymore for the longer night* *With daybreak comes your joy with rigour and excitement right befor your sight* *Keep pushing, keep waiting...the sun will soon come up and it won't always rain*

**I Toast...** *Life is hard to understand but there are still some things to understand about life* *Relationships have their expiry dates but not all ends in strife* *Some people will come into your life with lessons* *Some would say others came for a specific reason* *And in other times, you see people come into your life for a specific season* *I don't like stress so I've stopped holding on to the door knob of a closed door* *I'm a lone ranger mostly, so I've always, on my own, picked myself from the floor* *Anyone would go and mingle with those who would have them celebrated* *Why would I bother my energy on those who simply just have me tolerated?* *I toast to those who I loved and those who I have lost* *I toast to those who left me and those who got away* *I toast to those who, despite the hurdles chose to stay back* *I toast to all the people I have lost, by chance, deliberately and due to nature* *I toast to those who whisper behind me and dragged me down* *I toast to those who love me regardless and chose to see the good in me* *I toast to those who only see the bad sides despite all the obvious good sides* *I toast to those who cheated on me, cheated me, lied and betrayed my trust* *I toast to those who encouraged me and lifted me to dream again* *I toast to those who see me as a competition despite me just being me* *I toast to those who sighted a problem and then gave me the solution* *I toast to those who looked me in the eyes and said "no"* *I toast to those who stylishly claimed with their actions that they don't know me* *I toast to those who strategically have me denied* *I toast to those whom with love and perseverance accepted me, inspite* *I toast to those who scream my name with excitement and those with disdain* *I toast to those who went overboard and offered to remove my stain* *I toast to those who disrespected me by showing zero regards for me* *I toast to those who feel they are doing better than me* *I toast to those who have written me off and those who still hold the candle of hope for me* *I toast to the good and the bad moments and "people"* *I simply just want to live and I don't plan to have anyone topple* *Life is in twos just as we have seen with the couple* *Everyone and every moment is part of my life's story, so I toast to them* *Without these, how am I going to tell my story?* *The good moments and people gave me hope to push and not worry* *The bad moments and people made me appreciate the good ones* Maybe we meet some few bad people in life so that when we meet the good ones we can learn to appreciate them. I have zero space for hate so that's why I allow everyone to do what they feel like doing and I deal with the things they do, strategically, with understanding because I know once I give in to hate, that hate in my heart would consume me too. I don't want to become like those who hurt me so I celebrate them for packing my life with lessons. I see more with my eyes closed. I toast to everyone... *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why I advise people to take a dose of "****Olawalium****" daily.* 🙈 Kindly follow me on Noise.App. https://noise.app/Olawalium
