The right thing to do isn't always easy The easy thing to do isn't always right To always want easy is to be cheezy A weak person who doesn't have the will of might Tossed to and fro on the swing of indecision Satisfying the walls of challenges the confidence to stand Because you have not yet the principle to stay through with the tunnel vision So you fall in, face down, and give up, to let the opposition stand How sad to give in to the doubts and give up on your dreams Sleep walking through the years but you thought you were awake to the reality The reality that said, "you will not make it, it's too hard" was all but a scheme Of work by the opposition to keep you napping on "seeming" failures of bravery That are there to build you character strong to  never give up because it's easy But stay through to accomplish and experience the joy of finishing If your plans change, it should be for bigger fishery Bigger net...

I was seeing a cartoon recently, KungFu Panda 3, Master Shifu said something in his training - "If all you do is all you can, you will never be more than you are now" It took me. I rewound to that scene for about 5 times, before I continued the cartoon, it was like Rhemah to me. Don't be limited to only what you can do. There's more There's always more There is always more. I have met people who say "I can't kill myself, this is all I can do" No one's asking your to kill yourself, I'm asking me (you) to be more than myself (yourself) . Sometimes we think the limits are external, or are consequences of someone else' actions - when the truth is that they are internal. They exist in your mind, but you're not telling yourself the truth so you come up with excuses that are too lame to sit up to the truth about why you can't achieve your dreams. "If all you do is all you can......" I like to go beyond...

LIES - TRUTH / BLACK - WHITE Have you ever done something nonconstructive spontaneously, out of the blue? Which you somehow managed to convince yourself that "It would be fun"!!! . There are times when, we know, in our hearts that an act would only lead to futility and ephemeral gains, but still you want to get to the end of it- in spontaneity . Tell yourself the truth, be honest with you, did you completely agree with yourself that there would be no consequences and that if there were any, you would be able to handle them? Life is much more than what we see or feel with our senses, there is the part of a man's spirit that is cardinal to the quality of his life. People say the truth is black and white- NO! The truth is either black or white The truth is either left or right The truth is either wrong or right (Really Karla? Did you have to make it rhyme?) Yeah I had to, but you get my point. Be honest with yourself, did you tell yourself the trut...

I know I got a strong heart but weak eyes Cry when I'm angry, laugh when I'm sad Don't mistake dem liquid for weakness Wouldn't let hate burn me so I let it flow out through the windows of my soul Bitterness turns to salt and water when my knees hit the floor Not worried about any disrespects I got God's respect It is our month of moving forward after all

The woman had a basket on her head full with fishes; there were little ones and big ones. I knew this because this was not the first time she had been to my grand-mother’s shop. I was standing there beside the half broken protector wrapping my fingers around the belt attached to my favorite navy blue colored gown. “Were your mama, go tell am say fish don com”. I stood there studying her as she let down the basket of fish from her head without dropping the piece of rag from her head that she uses to steady it; I found it intriguing and curious, but the curiosity vanished as soon as she removed the rag and stood akimbo looking tired and staring at the little girl who wouldn’t go call her grandmother. “Were your mama na” she asked in an irritated tone, “abeg call am come, I get market to sell for olori road”. Bashful me stood there staring and studying her with curiosity that I could not explain, until suddenly my aunt Jorfa (meaning: ad...

Even if the rain poured, it still can't take away your shine You got the Son in you so baby give that rainbow smile You are His perfect picture, let Him be your perfect standard You are as beautiful as the words He spoke with no blunders So let His word be the judge and this poem be the jury We'll sentence you to a happy good life with no sorry(s) Don't be sorry, you're God's best it means you're better than your past So be what He wants you to be and you'll never come out last

I learnt recently that you can talk to your emotions no matter how overwhelming the situation is. I had a very painful experience once, and I was trying to explain myself; but you know what happens when you're trying to talk especially out of hurt, you tend to cry more than the words can come, lol. In that moment as I was trying to talk, I told myself, I just spoke out "Stop crying Karla!" And the tears stopped,faster than the snap of  fingers. Days later, while thinking of the scenario, I found out that you can talk to your emotions and actually control it. I knew this before, but now it was like it was a knew knowledge. You can choose to be happy, you can choose to be sad, you can talk to your emotions and tell them to stop being angry, you can choose to be in a good mood. You can also talk to your emotions and teach them to be inspired and excited in certain things. It's not a "hormonal work", it's a "word work". Think about it, why ...
