Brian and I


Brain and I grew up in a little community, where kids finds comfort playing under the Mango Tree.
There our mothers drain out oil from grinded nuts.
He was a month older than me and mama always tease us with the phrase "Husband and wife". 
That phrase sounded cheesy, maybe embarrassing, but Brain and I kept our friendship mutual.
Mutual in the sense that he fought for me,we played together and he was  always ready to share his lunch box with me.
College was pretty no fun with out Brian. Maybe I grew fun of always having him around.
There I was hoping and silently longing to see Brian during sure break.
My friends were enjoying the comfort of being together with their lovers,
And I wonder if Brian was also having fun with another girl.
I long to hear him say " Nike,I love you "or " Nike I wish to date you because I love you "!
But those words never came,not even a slight of it. My feelings grew deeper and like the waves they kept swirling in my heart. Each day reminds me of how fun and happy we use to be back in the days.
Telling Brian  about my feelings was something I had to practice over night because I was going to see him at dawn.
Right in front of Brian's door, I knocked and when I was about to exhale for the last time before  releasing those words  stuck in my brain.
" Brain , I know this may sound embarrassing, but I just can't pretend any more . I'm sorry ,but I'm in love with you".
Just in,a lady opened the door , and when I was about saying hello! Brian showed up.
" hey Nike! What a surprise. I'm glad you came by. Meet my girlfriend Mick. Mick meet Nike my child  hood friend " he said. That was a bomb blast that killed the courage I came with.
Sure I felt bad, certainly I was hurt, but it wasnt  Brian's fault neither was it Mick's. Who I'm I to get angry with Brian who still sees me as his Childhood friend. It's not about how we started, mama would have being so happy if Brian and I got into something serious.  Being friends from childhood doesn't make a relationship or even marriage. I'm  glad that Brian was able to introduce me as his childhood friend and friends we will always be. Brain love me so much but the feelings he has for mick was unmeasurable. I know I will get over the feelings, and also find True love again.


This story entails a life of friendship and True love.

HOPE CALLS

                                    HOPE CALLS In shadows deep, when hope seems dim,  And paths ahead are hard to skim, Remember this, in times so tough,  Your strength prevails, you're strong enough. Though storms may rage, and skies turn gray,  Your spirit shines through, come what may.  Each step you take, however small, Is a testament to your courage, standing tall. When doubts assail, and fears arise,  Look deep within, where strength lies.  For in your heart, a fire burns bright, Guiding you through the darkest night. Though trials may test your will to fight,  Hold fast to dreams, with all your might.  For every challenge, a lesson learned,  And with each setback, a brighter path discerned. So rise, dear soul, and do not yield,  For your journey's end is not yet sealed.  With faith as your compass, and hope your guide,  ...

LIFE

Dear reader, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm writing to you on such short notice. I'm a person who believes time is running out. We live in a world filled with endless problems, yet we manage to navigate through with masks of fake smiles. I write to those like myself.  You may not have endured the same trials as I have, and your story may be different in its own way.  But know that comparing our problems won't diminish mine or justify yours.  It's curious how we find hope in the tales of others. So, I hope you'll learn to let go and trust in God.  I hope you'll forgive yourself and others who may have caused you pain and resentment.  I hope you'll learn to live in the present and aspire to a brighter future.  I hope you'll discern truth from deception when others attempt to mislead you.  I hope you'll realize that true love begins with self-love before extending to others.  I hope you'll embrace inner peace amidst life's...

The young me

The story that completed me is the story I'm gonna share Years ago I wore pant designed with curiosity Hair bands made of pity With a matching shirt that reads she's too gullible I spend time alone in a corner feeling too ashamed to unvail my identity Wasn't sure of who I was so I kept jumping into spaces that didn't fit pretends was my best friend,oh! I Mean the only soul I got I freely gave what I had but held on to candies that weren't met for all Even though I looked strong I was bullied by those way too young to hit me Crying like a baby was all I knew best  And it didn't help, no it didn't So I crawled out of peoples Lives when I stop feeling comfortable Like a candle stick I held on to what I really felt within Before I clocked 15 have got lot of fears seating in my heart Each time I cough it like a bomb been released Into the universe Like a dream come through all my fear started to manifest it existence And yeah!I saw them coming but couldn't fi...
