Can I be your muse? Can I be your muse? You leave each day so depressed, filled with thoughts that have consumed every bit of your sanity, only to get back being the worse of your initial state. Life has given you every negative aspect of it's possessions. Possessions that rather add up to your wretchedness. Can I be your muse? You roll up and down in bed, trying not to let the little stagnant tears beneath your eyelids flow down cause it'll only make you feel weaker. You've…
Feminism Redefined: Its true calling RE: INTRODUCTION One uniting adversary people faced over time and dreaded for so long is the feeling of discrimination, which as a whole has covered and encompassed various races, cultures, nations and society in and of itself. Every minority group weeks to be heard, not because they intend to be known among the society or rise above others in superiority, but for the singular reason of refusal to continually be abused. In this reason,…
The church girl with a dark hidden secret They say don't judge a book by it's cover but have you ever wondered what must be in this book that one shouldn't judge? Here's one for you. St. Philemon was one of the old Anglican churches located at the west hill side towards Jordan Streets, Afikpo where one can always hear gyrating songs sounding loudly from a large speaker mounted on top of the church's roof. I guess this was one of the many tricks they used to capture more…
Confession of a broken girl Life will never be fair. Life will never always be good. Happiness has never always been my friend but I look at myself now and I'm grateful for it. One could all but wish for a better future but life has a way of suppressing all that dreams of a better future till all hope seems lost. It was not my fault that I was born into misery. I had no idea when things started to downhill. I was but a child when my father pierced my mom with a knife…
Journey to self: An experience of most students. What they never teach you in that fancy secondary school of yours is how to find yourself as an adult. They might tell you what course you should study, they would teach you Mathematics, English, Government, the pure sciences and all that but they would never teach you how to actually find yourself. Unfortunately, you're the only one who can teach you to be comfortable in your own skin.*** Jeff Dike sat in his exam hall and…
Managing one's self esteem Self esteem is a very delicate thing. Having too much of it could lead to harbouring an over bloated ego which is capable of making one lose valuable relationship and meaningful contacts. Very unhealthy. Yet the stark absence of a healthy self esteem could ruin a life, shatter one's self confidence, plunge one into depression, which could culminate in nurturing suicidal thoughts. I have learnt that to manage your self esteem, it is not enough to…
The reflection inside I am bold.. I am beautiful.. I am kind.. I am chaste.. The many good qualities seen physically outside but does it reflect inside. Who really are you? I've read in many literatures that the beauty lies inside but where does it reflect? Outside or still inside of the inside? I've come to realize that in our present generation people are most interested in what lies inside. You might be beautiful and ravishing on one look but beyond the outward look, many…
Knock knock, it is I 'doubt' And my mother to me, 'If only you just believe'. In thoughts... Why will these words sound so simple and easy to comprehend but still seem difficult to put into action. How do one believe? That's just the question. Does it require a force coming from within? Or a firm affirmation that what will be will be. Like I just don't get it. Words fail me especially when it comes to describing this subtle overemphasized 'word'- believe. Well, I guess it…
The demon called 'fear' Amanda! Amanda! Amanda!... This was all we could hear from a distance. She had taken the last shot and was no more. What could be the reason behind her action? What prompted this decision? Some would say fate had played it's role again or death it's scorch but wasn't there another way out?...let the story tell. It was about five minutes to seven and we were all on sit waiting for the last few minutes before our professional exams began. Our final…
The heart and it's content 'Guide your heart cause out of it comes the issues of life', the old book recorded. Certain behaviors portrayed by humans to situations they encounter are based on what they've stored up in their hearts. From being aggressive, loving, rude, kind, nonchalant and the likes. One's experiences through life constitute the virtues contained in their hearts and this transcends to what they give out as behaviors. That's why it is believed that your…
