*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.

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee

🌹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...

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
