Another Collection...

They are always deep from the heart and most of the time I think deeply. Some of my poems are not a reflection of what I am going through... I mostly allow my mind to wander into the depth of human realities and possibilities...I feel them deeply and try to express them the best way that I can. I keep them simple to make them relatable as well... Enjoy them... **Efforts.** *Starring at the bottom of the glass* *Life deals with everyone regardless of their class* *You might be living in a house with diamond or brass* *You might like songs so solemn or the ones with heavy bass* *You might cook with kerosene or your gas* *Life deals with everyone - the rich and the masses* *Some people get overlooked while some get attention and passes* *Humans can live like a king and some as though they eat the grasses* *Life is different for everyone but the desire to be better shouldn't change* *I stopped worrying about half-empty glasses a long time ago* *Of course, I want my glasses to be full and sometimes I get half-empty ones* *I'm only grateful I have a glass in the first place* *So I add effort in addition to God's Grace* *Life won't always give me what I want without effort* *It doesn't matter how bad things are, I shouldn't stop making an effort* *Having a defeated mentality makes things even harder* *I'm determined to have a positive mindset so I can get through things* *It gets the job half done already* *Life is all about putting in the effort and making the effort count* **Efforts, II.** *You have been pressed sore to the bone* *Your round shape has formed an edge like the cone* *Everyone sees you and just want to gather a stone* *You feel like your every move is being watched like a drone* *There is no one whose got you that you can call on a phone* *It's easier, without support in this world to feel alone* *I know you have battles raging in your head, just have it toned* *Life sometimes doesn't get easier but we have to keep pushing* *Pushing through it and it gets easier along the way* *You've got to exert twice the energy because life gives in to pressure too* *Everything will be alright but you have to make the effort* *You will get through those stages but you have to make the effort* *Nothing is handed over to you on a platter, so make the effort* *It might not get easier but you can be sure it would be worth it* *If you don't write that book then no one would read it* *If you don't sing that song, how else are we to listen?* *If you don't take that step, how else are you to move?* *Don't confuse revolving with progress, ask the barber's chair...* *That moves on the same spot without leaving the spot* *It's easier to get lost in the crowd but you have to make efforts to be seen* **The What Ifs...** *Here in the land of uncertainties,* *My heart beats in unrhythmic velocities* *Many questions popping in me,* *Yet no certain answers to any.* *What if the ones we like don't like us back?* *What if love doesn't really exist and* *All that's experienced is deceit?* *What if we were wired to enjoy transient memories alone?* *What if the night was meant for working* *And the daylight for resting?* *What if we are meant to chill on weekdays* *And work on weekends?* *What if all we've believed is the opposite* *Of what we are supposed to believe?* *What if the whole lifetime has been a dream* *And we are yet to wake into reality?* *These ain't to instill fear* *But to prove that life is filled with uncertainties* *And there are no templates to living your own life,* *Just live by doing right and good.* **How To Love.** *Maybe I don't know enough,* *maybe I do more than enough,* *Maybe love has a gauge to keep up with,* *Which I know not of* *I've heard of love being selfless,* *But maybe I'm being selfish* *And I don't care about what others feel,* *Therefore, teach me how to love* *I heard love has a language,* *Maybe my language doesn't fit into other's understanding* *Or my understanding doesn't fit into other's languages,* *Therefore, teach me how to love* *Teach me how to love maybe I can love better,* *Maybe I can become selfless,* *Let me know the gauge of love,* *So I won't do less or more than I ought to* *I know love exists and I want to ride in its existence,* *Teach me the perfect love language and I'll learn,* *Teach me the act and art of love,* *Just teach me how to love* *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.Cash**...
