HEARD ABOUT ESE?

Image
Have you heard about Ese?  Golden black Ese as we used to call her.  Her skin so beautiful that most people called her the goddess of the black race.  She went to papa Ijebu, who mixed pepper with lemon water, he added a little bit of carol white and a pinch of something which name, I can't recall. Suddenly the black in her skin vanished like magic, she was now "African snow white"  and she reigned in her head and her new found skin.  Ese was walking on the air, almost like her new skin gave her super powers.  Awhile later, there were cracks, itches,scratches and peelings... Her body was at war with itself.  Ese's skin changed colors more rapidly than a chameleon, no one could keep up. Then came the decay that went from her skin deep inside of her and in a flash, she was gone.   Ese died trying to be who she wasn't, she was so dissatisfied with being black in a black skin and I wonder why, what is so wrong with being black?

Why was her tears and pains so invisible? What made everyone careless about her and her feelings? It was in this last moment of reflection that she realized today will not be the day she really dies,she died long ago right before their eyes and they all didn't see it. So with what seemed like hope,she tightened the rope around her neck and for a moment it felt like someone was finally hugging he

A DAY WE ALL WIN

  Crazy how we can't have it all 🥺🥺 In between Messi's world cup win that I seriously prayed for, Neymar's tears as his country lost the match and Ronaldo's tears in what seemed to be his last appearance in the world cup games, my happy heart for my dearest Messi's still found a way to break in a million pieces from hurting for those whose dreams didn't come through on that field in Qatar. How do one feel happy and sad at the same time? 😭😭😭  That evening, I sat on my bed innocently but I sincerely prayed for one day that we all win. A day that everybody alive wins in everything and no one gets to feel sad or cry. A day in which people give birth and no one dies. People gain, no loss. People get married, no divorce. We all laugh, no crying. No accidents,no sadness,no pains,no regrets,no loss etc. Just a day we all truly win and have no single worry about a thing. What is it they say about wishes and horses? I thought about it so hard that I start

STAND OUT

You are truly enough. I struggle to believe that I am enough myself but life keeps making me see it. So you are enough, we are always enough. P.S You can stand in or stand out, they are both good options but standing in automatically limits you, stand out instead.
