            THE SCARS ON MY SKIN

As I grow older day by day, I begin to understand life more and more

The scars on my skin remind me of the ignorant steps taken in the past

Those opportunities that slipped away before my very eyes and I couldn't utilize them

The money I carelessly sprayed away in the club

The people I couldn't help, the life I would have humbly lived

It's a pity, how many of us live our lives like there is no tomorrow

Each time I look at those scars on my skin, they remind me of those ugly mistakes I made in the past

Those scars were laced and dated with pain on my beautiful skin

The scars didn't teach me to be scared of failure  but taught me to embrace, kiss and learn from my failure

I will call it "my failure" cos there are expensive lessons to be learned each time I touch those scars well laced on my skin by my failure

My scars remind of the hand that denied me at that darkest hour with one funny excuse

Do you sometimes reflect on those scars on your skin?

Sometimes you need to touch those scars on your skin, am sure there will still be some lessons you can still learn from

They could be a lamp to your feet, scanning your steps

Derive your lessons from those scars and move on


     I LOVE YOU

                     MY BEAUTIFUL ONYINYE Of course, I read about Esau that nearly betrayed his existence all in the name of hunger that could be quenched by a loaf of bread But I know of a young beautiful lady that is still standing even when the storm of life is still breathing pain around the wall of her breakthrough I know of a young beautiful lady that silently hides her pain inside her smile I have had an encounter with a young beautiful lady whose desire to be great is of no equal and  she wouldn't surrender into the arms of corruption in achieving that I have seen with my eyes how "my beautiful Onyinye" didn't surrender her glowing body into the arms of one ugly giant beast who promised her a record-breaking success It's impossible to believe the reality of the fact that Onyinye still shines in darkness despite the pain that life didn't forget to offer her How can I explain to the world that her beauty still glows brighter than the

                     UNDESERVED LOVE It will be stupid to punch you again in the face, just like I always do I have battered you with words, made you wail in pain in the darkroom I have made you cry, without knowing you were fighting for me I have stabbed you in the face, taken your smile away unknowingly I thought you were a criminal cos I saw you with a cigarette and beautiful tattoos LI never knew you are a repentant soul with a golden heart I never knew you are an angel every prince will desire to have in their royal castle I made you bleed blood and you acted like everything was fine You gave me all your smile and you were left with pain to ride home with You took the dagger garnered for my defeat You fell on the ground with blood spilling and gushing out from your body like moving waters You left your throne for my eternity to be sealed up like a contract Your blood was splashing and you still went on fighting You left your supremacy a
