God Did
I can feel it,
Deep in my bone marrow,
I can sense it,
A blissful tomorrow.
Despite trials and tribulations,
One thing remains constant,
Amidst doubts and confusions,
The resolve to be triumphant.
When dismayed by the littlest cause,
A broken heart and contrite spirit,
I present to Him because,
He alone has the power to treat.
Tough times never last, they say,
But tough people keep pushing,
And with each passing day,
I unlock a new level of strength within.
Alas, I can smile
Rest assured because my biggest flex lies
In every moment in His presence, worthwhile
All because He's paid the price.

In case you're going through a tough time, I hope this poem meets you well. I've also hit a rocky patch myself, and I just want to reassure us all that it'll soon be over.
God may not bring you out of the difficult situation, but He will see you through it. God may not take away that problem, but He will provide the solution.
At the end of our story, we'll look back and smile, because **God did**.

Lonely days
Hi, you there?
Of course not
Silly me
I'm sorry for pouring out my heart to you
I'm sorry for spilling everything
I'm sorry for leaving nothing out
I'm sorry for wanting to know your every move
I'm sorry for trying to be there for you
I'm sorry for expecting the same energy I gave
I'm sorry for caring too much to make you uncomfortable
I'm sorry for being too blind to notice
I'm sorry for being me
It's another chilly evening,
And this is me, adjusting to my new life without you
I see you've moved on, so I should too

A Short Tribute to our Fallen Heroes:
As compatriots, they arose,
To obey Nigeria's call, they chose,
A call to serve our fatherland,
Love and strength and faith, their only weapons at hand.
The labor of our young heroes,
Shall never be forgotten for their key roles,
In serving with heart and might and life,
For freedom, peace and unity to thrive.

The Perfect Match
"***It fits like a glove",***
Is an all too familiar expression.
Picture this:
I have a pair of hands gloves. I slide my hands into one and use the other as a pencil case.
What observations can you make from this?
True, they are both in use but are they both appropriately used?
In this journey called life, we all have our roles to perform. This is the sad reality which most people fail to realise. I'm not saying that everyone was made to be the President, but those secretaries, journalists, traffic wardens, engineers also contribute to the effective running of a country. All fingers are not equal, but they work together.
The path of Self-Discovery is a tricky one. I say so because I find myself there presently. By next year, I'll legally be an adult. I don't need a sooth-sayer to tell me that there is a workload of responsibilities associated with adulthood. I am already faced with some of the challenges that comes with it. That notwithstanding, I am certain that I will overcome because I know where I'm headed and the world makes a way for one who knows where she's going. I don't have the clear picture all figured out, but I see some pointers here and there. I'm basically in the "connect-the-dots" phase. A friend once told me, the only fear to be entertained should be one that drives you to achieve your dreams, rather than keep you from fulfilling them.
I like this quote by Les Brown,
"***The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is there that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream."***
**Where exactly am I headed with all these? 😂.**
The glove used as a pencil case is not fulfilling the purpose for which it was made, but it is not useless either.
Whereas the other has found its purpose and will shine in it.
Nobody was created as an after thought. Like the story in Matthew 25:14-30, we all have our unique talents deposited in us. The actual difficulty lies in discovering and developing it. Let's all strive to slide in our gloves appropriately and I assure you, it will definitely match perfectly. It will fit like a glove😂.
It's a tough call but with hard work and more importantly, smart work, you will get there. No man is an island, so you are bound to seek help from others. Be humble and ask when in need. What's the worst that could happen? They will say no? Life goes on!!
Remember, nobody ever had it all figured out. Most great and influential personalities had their gloves worn inside out, some had theirs on backwards and some even wore theirs on their feet. But you know the difference between then and now, they were patient to understand how it works and implement their discoveries. Yes, that's right, knowing is not enough. Your actions should prove it.
"***The world is not interested in what you know but in what you can do with that which you know".***

You are the singular most important resource for your life.
Have you found your perfect match?
Are you alive?
Or do you simply exist?
∆∆∆
***Have you learnt the ropes of adjusting your gloves?***
***Or are you still fumbling with it?***
***I would like to know where you stand in the comment section.***
***On my part, I'm still fumbling with it but I have my whole life ahead of me and with each passing day, I know I'm a step closer to the mastery of how it all works.***
***Ps: I'm very open to corrections and contradictions.***
***I hope this was worth the read🥺.***
***Ciao***✨
Emotional intelligence - 1
∆∆∆
People annoy you, people frustrate you.
People disgust you, people creep you out.
Sometimes, taking calculated breaths and flashing a smile could be the best response mechanism in such situations.
People tend to mask off their true feelings by acting all tough.
Some prefer to transfer their negativity to others.
So, I think it is worthy of note that you cannot control people's attitude towards you,
But you can control your attitude towards people.
Even Jesus says to forgive our offenders seventy times seven times, each day [Matthew 18:22].
Those hateful words you utter to someone when angered could be the sword that breaks the last string of hope keeping the person in one piece.
Violence is not always the answer.
Why not be the reason someone is excited to flaunt their Fupa?
Why choose to be a part of someone's depression journey?

*****A. Walk out,*****

*****C. Inflict physical pain,*****
*****D. Other...*****
*Which category do you fall under when provoked?*
*Please do tell in the comment section.*
*I'd say I'm more of the "walk out" person😂. I'm not a fan of trouble, so I would rather stay away.*

Dreams
***∆∆∆***
*Some are like balloons,*
*Interesting to puff out,*
*Beautiful to the beholder,*
*Eager to ascend,*
*Filled, but with emptiness.*
*The ones similar to a peacock,*
*Attractive to gaze upon,*
*Intimidating indeed to others,*
*Proud ,*
*Howbeit vain and toxic.*
*The diamond-like ones are the most alluring,*
*Full of sparkles,*
*Invaluable to possess,*
*Almost without blemish,*
*Yet rigid to change.*
*Then some are like the Palm tree,*
*Planted by the rivers of water,*
*Which bears their fruit in their season,*
*And their leaves never wither.*
*They prosper in all their ways,*
*And every part is useful.*

This is my first attempt at writing a poem 😃. I'm in love with spoken word poetry, so it took me a lot of convincing to actually post this😂.
The big question is, how would you define your dreams??
Please do tell, what category you think you fall under, in the comment section. Also feel free to share any dreams you might have had in the past and how it's going or how it went.

Who is She?
***Some say she's a genius.***
***Many would call her ambitious.***
***Others regards her as naive.***
***But you wanna know what I think?***
∆∆∆
**She's a go-getter. She's a thinker. She's a pace setter. She's limitless.**
**She's one who's curious about everything. She's passionate about what she does.**
**She loves writing, being lost in her world of imagination. A world where everything turns out as planned. A world of no worries. A world where no dream dies without becoming a reality. A world of perfection. She writes so that she is able to invite her readers into this beautiful world.**
**She loves critical thinking. She loves solving problems. She loves tackling puzzles. For these very reasons, she loves the game of chess. In the game of chess, there are challenges that arise on the board that have to be overcome by applying tactics and strategies. Chess is an art of pattern recognition. Chess is art. Chess is Science. Above all, chess is life.**
**She loves fashion designing. In this field, she gets to combine her other areas of interest; Designing, critical thinking, construction, calculations, innovation and creativity.**
**She does not restrict herself to what the society expects. She is a record breaker. She has a burning desire to get more of everything.**
**Of course, she isn't without flaws. Yet, she is perfectly imperfect. She doesn't let her weaknesses define her, rather she strives to improve on her strengths and yearns to eliminate her downsides.**
**She is God's loved daughter.**
***I think she is fearfully and wonderfully made.***
