Dear woman,
Dare the unknown and be brave,
The world won't give you what you want—or deserve if you don't ask for it.
Not in ushered tones, but with your head high up—use your voice.
You matter!-
I used to have someone call me Sunshine…
How remarkable it felt to be compared to the firmaments.
Until, one day I felt drained from shining so hard in a life unappreciated.-
With intentionality, we set our aim,
And clarity helps us reach our claim.
For a clear mind sees the path ahead,
And an intentional heart won't be led astray or misled.
Intentionality gives us direction and drive,
While clarity ensures we thrive.
With intentionality, we focus our energy,
And clarity allows us to see things more tangibly.
We can make choices with greater purpose,
And our actions become more precise and less porous.
So let us strive for intentionality and clarity,
For they bring us closer to our true reality.-
Let’s talk about how hard it is to do it alone.
Let’s talk about how satisfying it is to be alone.
Let’s talk about how sad it is to be all alone.
———
Time is our predator; our desires the prey.
We are today alone and tomorrow in a company:
————
All days unsettled until I get my company
The one made for me alone.-
Just believe say:
Everything go de ok.
No too think am;
Just no stop for where no de ok.
I believe say:
God go solve am.
After all Him no like wetin no de ok.-
To us,
Who sleep while our eyes are opened because we can’t afford to shut them.
To us,
Who fight all that there is: society, tradition, religion — only to live.
To us,
Who carry the world in our heart saying to the world: LET ME!
Your softness is your prowess: your story is yours forever!-
PROFESSIONAL BEGGARS
Is that what we are?
Maybe that's what you see?
While we earnestly seek the 'busy'
We are termed "less busy"
Beggars! They call us,
Professionals! They call themselves,
Meanwhile;
We are the professionals because
what we do is our profession.
They are the beggars,
We are their beggars.
We beg on the street,
They beg on the sky.
In a flight above, they cry,
We cry, on the ground joyously.
They wear pretty dresses;
That are all rags to us because we see their nakedness;
Just like madness!
We, wearing rags are sane
Even though we look insane.
Let those who have keep giving,
Let those who don't have keep collecting.
Let it go round,
Let us be professional beggars,
And let you beg professionally.
Just don't hide it!
Be like us!
Learn from us!
We are real.
We are Survivals; you the prey.

I know we need see the good and bad part together to really experience life;
I know we all have some wounds hidden by our coverings;
I now know that: come what may cause of the uncertainty of tomorrow I must live today as much as I can.-
For me love looks like this:
The joy of being in the rain instead of the pain of being wet.
For me love looks like this:
The thrills of unplanned moments instead of the never planned ones.
For me love looks like this:
Forever to share everyday with another being whether or not the day begins.
For me, love is enough even if I never had enough.-
Ever been on this part of the world before?
The part where you felt "I" would never be?
The other side you saw as dark, invisible and unbearing where you feel nothing good can be for you?
Ever been on this part of the world before?
Where you feel you can't be found?
Where you think and say "It can never happen to me"?
The same side where you thought was never for your kind?
And then b-o-o-m!
Life; happened! What a pleasant surprise of adventurous advantage it offers to creatures...-
