Hey lovelies! 😘
How are you? I hope this meets you well.
I got good responses concerning the last post. The topic was WHY YOU FEEL BAD ALL THE TIME. A lot of people confirmed the reasons stated and added some.
I'll have to make another post about the other reasons people stated.
I just want to use this opportunity to thank you all for...
WHY YOU FEEL BAD ALL THE TIME
Wow! Do you really feel bad or you are just a curious cat?
Well, you're here now, right? Let's get to it.
People get sad everyday and feel bad and frustrated. Many of these people just wallow in their sadness without even bothering to know...
NO SIZE FITS ALL
PC: ourlifeisbeautiful.com
A one-size-fits-all never fits all.
You were created to be somebody's perfect size
And many people's good fit,
So don't fret, don't cry
When many hands push you aside on the rack,
Think of the perfect body
That you were made for,
Because you'll...
LETTERS TO ME
How many ideas lay asleep on the pages of my book?
When will they be given bodies and made alive?
Where is their breath of life?
Is their maker struggling for life too?
If so, would they ever be put to b...
ON PEDOPHILIA AND SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE by Ikenna Echewodo Chinyeaka
The issue of Pedophilia has been on the desk for quite some time now and it is astonishing to hear and see that society wants to consider it acceptable. There are certain things that remain wrong no matter how many consider it normal. We can't go along with...
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WRITER
Greetings, my fellow ink addicts!
How's it in the word pit these days? A lot of people think its really cool to introduce yourself and be like "...and I write too". Some would see you as an artsy person, you know, very cool and all. Others would say...
SHOOT YOUR SHOT
My friend,
Shoot your shot,
And I will shoot mine.
Then, we will both stand
And see whose arrow pierces which heart.
Tell your stories
And let me tell mine.
Let us live and let live.
In the end,
Time will examine history's luggage
And tell us which is wrong or right.
Let...
BROWN SPOONS
We lived at Umuchima in the dusty town of Okigwe. It was a quaint little town that had old houses with dust coated roofs and narrow winding roads - the winding roads that lead to Abia State University. The dust came in torrents during the dry season, covering everything...
Bound and rebounds!
We're back!
Hello mi darlings. 😊😁😁
Wait just a minute and hear me out. 😞😢
You lot must be so pissed. I can't blame you though. Odd Lenses was shut down for a month! I was in the custody of the Writer's block Company. I was starved of inspiration...
Diary of a lazy writer 3
Dear diary,
I looked and I saw that truth hurts.
I have so much to say all at once. I'm so overwhelmed even as I write this.
Diary, there are so many things that are important in life. Someone might opine that everything is important to different persons....
SOUNDS OF YON: My companion by Ada Thelma

MY COMPANION
I need a companion,
Someone with whom to share my opinion,
If the enemies send their minions,
I'll chop their heads in bits like onions.
If they try to break my union with my companion,
I'll send them to oblivion,
See,...

Voice of gods
So you began to believe,
You were foolish, worthless,
You never did anything right,
Never could.
You believed because your father said so,
Your faith gave him his voice.
That day Nnanna smiled...

Heart to Heart by Okechi Favour Chinonso
I didn't want to think. Hell, I didn't need to think. I could not think. I could only feel- The pain of a thousand stings, the unexplainable hurt of a kick in the balls- There's no one word that could have accurately described exactly what I felt at that moment. It was surreal...
UNITY POT by Iruke Ebuka
UNITY POT
Nuclear is Alien...
Nuclear power from outside space?
Not my point!!!
I mean that Nuclear Family is Alien.
It is alien to the basic African ideology.
Our "Nuclear" is "Extended."
The very facet of our individual existences
has root...

CALL ME OLIVER TWIST by Ada Thelma
Folks enjoy stories,
Be it sweet or gory.
They love to watch a person mad enough to wriggle out of mediocrity's embrace.
They watched, read
as Oliver Twist dared,
As he did what others feared.
They hummed songs of pity in their hearts,
As he stood up from where he...
BLACK ALBINO by Ada Thelma
Skin of colour,
Eyes that shame the pendulum's dance.
So they call you that paradox that was never destined to be understood.
Black albino;
Skin the colour of rich brown earth,
Eyes that move to and fro
Like demons on patrol.
They see your colour and wonder if it's paint.
They...

How are you? I'm not fine. Okay, maybe I'm fine. I don't know. Happy Sunday by the way. I feel bad right now.😖 I know. I know.🙄 You think I'm always feeling bad. But that's not true....
A Hundred Lessons by Ada Thelma Iyke
I've learnt the hard way.
I've learnt the simple things.
I've learnt that you do not gulp down hot tea,
That careful sips prevent singed tongues.
I've learnt that you do not carry a hot pot with your bare hands,
That such foolish boldness leaves you with scorched palms.
I've...
PANACEA by Ada Thelma Iyke
Dear broken spirit,
I bring you soft whispers and small kisses like a mother's touch to a bruised knee.
As you lie crushed and downcast in solitude, I bring you words of comfort.
I bring you oil to grease the rusted parts of your heart.
I bring...
Small Victories 1 by Ada Thelma Iyke
I hadn't felt this good in ages. I felt as proud as the hunter in Mother's stories. My siblings were drunk with fury. This was the greatest gratification. Their eyes looked at me in disgust as my eyes closed in euphoria. Their hearts pounded fiercely shaming Mother's mortar...

The lobby is large and long. To your left are two coffee brown couches. Apart from that and the white walls and doors with polished handles, the lobby is quite... Empty. To your right is a counter with a petite lady who stands there smiling at you.
