New-Old Post.

Exams are FINALLY over!!! Whoop!!

My brain is STILL recovering from the treacherous knowledge rape it faced but hey, we're surviving. A good weekend with the loved ones and more and now the dreaded lectures resume.

Overall.. it's been a stressful month, for more than 5 different reasons... but there's ALWAYS been a reason to smile.

Writing has been somewhat of a myth but I have an old post for you guys...

Sexes backwards is sexes. ©

You say I can’t play coz I am a girl,
You say you won’t cook because you’re a man.
You say I should stay at home coz I am a wife.
You say you can do anything a woman can.

You justify your lateness because your a female.
You show no emotion in guard of masculinity,
You  suffer your feet just to pass as a lady.
You use your male instincts to vindicate promiscuity

If we do the opposite of these actions
Does that make us men?
If we act as they desire,
Surely we’ll appear to be women

As the power struggle worsens out,
The end result perplexes.
But from above we seem to see, that
Sexes backwards is Sexes.

'He said, She said........Goodbye'

A little fun thing a friend and I worked on....it's two goodbye poems fused.... His name is Oyin Ogunkanmin (@Oyin23 on twitter) and I LOVE his work... Check out al his published ones so far here: Word Artist 92 .

Anyways, the fact that we had no idea what the other was writing made it extremely exciting!! Personally, I loved how it turned out.. but you guys should lemme know how you feel too..

So here it is...

He said, She said……………Goodbye

He said:

My modus operandi, I flash a smile, I care and my words are true

Big mistake, she’s not used to this, waves goodbye, arriverderci

Floods of emotion are held behind a dam of cold hard eyes

“It’s a fool proof method, my coping mechanism, don’t you agree?”

It is often said that actions speak louder than words

And the reality is that these actions hurt much more than words

This she has experienced, She just won’t trust, she has a tough hard exterior.

That's ok I understand your pain, you’ve been hurt so this facade is now your armour

They tell me “be what she had hoped you would be, stop, wait and listen”

But all she knows is that there are too many wolves in sheep’s clothing

I’ve tried but even when I tell you that you are the one for me

All that I can see in your eyes is a nagging doubt, Mon Cherie

Try as you may you cannot shake this feeling of sadness

The time has come to say that routine goodbye; romantic madness, a senseless au revoir

Tell me what has changed in you, because I feel the dreadful presence of déjà vu,

To me this goodbye is an excuse for you to run back to the heartbreaker

His ill treatment and danger, your intoxicating addiction, you are now a serial offender

It makes no sense, you want to feel safe and not shed tears from your beautiful eyes

But yet for no reason you choose that word to say: adieu, goodbye

Then She said:

There was nothing good about our love but it hurt to let you go.
Guess that gaga feeling, bad romance is  a feeling I now know.
You never made me feel complete but your absence made my heart deplete

 and sorrow is all it seems to bear

as you really are no longer there.
I still question the actual cause of our unexpected separation. We were good together, but fate didn't accept, and thought divided we'd be better.
So away we went without discussing what would happen the day that you and I should coincide by fate and meet along the way.
I've found it hard to feel that way about any other person, then I see you happy, and moved on well and your mind free of any burden.
It pains to know I could never bring smiles, towards your face. Mere bants and jokes is as far as I got in meeting your taste.
I don't still love you, the way I did, and I doubt I'd ever go back.
But did you really love me that way too, tell me lies or fact.
We're over now in all types of ways and it’s hard to be your friend, so this is my goodbye adios farewell
We've come to a peaceful end.
