*ME* By: Olafimihan



Do you know that little girl?
She makes everyone laughs
Her friends clown
She used to be an athlete.

Do you know her?
She became blind at the age of 13 but was miraculously healed
She isn't four eyes.

Everyone thinks they know her?
A big time talkative
Always laughing but isn't the same inside.

Are you trying to think about her? 
She lost all her friends at a point in life when diagnosed of bipolar disorder
She lived with uremia since age 6
Barely do she have a sight of her future.

Who is that girl everyone thinks they know?
She is happier now
She is that poet who is never tired of writing about herself.

Do u know much about her?
That girl is me
I have my downfalls but I still get up and smile
I am that girl.

🌹My Tale (Part 3) By:🌹Sapphire🌹

Mama's call was all I needed to wake me up from my sea of reminiscence, stealthily I walked as my weary feet could carry me and in no distant time I was standing before what I will call "bundle of golden memories", I was dazed by the sight of him, we stared at each other for some seconds then he  roared " bia Chigozie, so you think because you have seen and eaten with oyibo, you have automatically became gold that everybody must come and seek ehh ogbehia" this words came with the same ever bright smile and jovial intonation, without bidding an eyelid I retort, " come ooo whatever you call yourself since when did sand become the mate of gold eeh this son of mazi Okonkwo ,I can see that the spirit of the  animals your father has hunted are already at work in you, better appeal to your chi to pardon you and no put the sins of your father on you" I said smiling. He looked at me with an eye of surprise "we shall see when the drummers roll out the...
