UNTITLED POEMS BY DARAH


I had hope

Hope, that things could get better

This sentiment was trifling

It shouldn’t have been noticed

But the hole in my heart was so vast

So desperate, so desolate…

Hope crafted illusions

Some label it fantasies, I call it unrealities

But I had this hope

The odds of a new dimension

It felt prodigious, so extraordinary, I felt new

Within seconds, I was adrift

Lost in this attraction, so engulfed; I overlooked reality

My hope for humanity felt so unquestionable

I had no second thoughts, no further verification

I just held on to hope; held on so tight

I didn’t even realize it was gone

No, not until I felt empty again

Not until I began to drown in veracity

It hurt so bad, I craved for the indefinite

But, perhaps there's no disparity

The definite is the unknown

Maybe hope is just a means to be happy

What if they are feelings dependent on each other

I'm still lost; but not in emotions

Lost between the thin line of validity and falsity

JOB NO DEY BY KWAW LYRICS

Image
This is a new banger from BDRZ records and it is also from the artiste Kwaw Lyricx. Kwaw Lyricx is saying JOB NO DEY! Do you agree with him? 'Cos after all this struggle to pass through this educational system, not being able to get a job can be quite stressful. He said a lot. But I have this to add. If you are going to wait for the government to get you a job, then you might be staying unemployed for a long while. Start taking that course you did in entrepreneurship seriously. Because if there is no JOB, you can create jobs! Find your talent, hone it and start cashing in on it. And that is one thing I like about this artiste. Track after track, I see growth after growth. Don't wait till he explodes before you support him. We have to join him on his journey and help make him a better artiste. He is also from Taadi so you know right? Taadi y3 w) adze a oye! You can get to listen to the track  here . Make sure to follow him on twitter he re . And this  wil

MONDAY MOTIVATION

Image
I could just leave this there and not say anything more but I am a talker so allow me... There is someone in your life who is in there because she/he(referred as she from henceforth) finds you intriguing. She is curious about you and wants to know more. She is dedicated and will call you everyday to talk to you just to try and figure you out. She cares or so you think. She comes across like a true friend but once she gets to find out you are not all that, the magic just shrivels and dies. But you thought she was a friend. No, she wasn't. Because she wants to have a taste of your magic, queerness and uniqueness, she will do all she can; call you, text you, be there for you... But when she realises that like every other human being, you have your imperfections, you are no longer attractive. She thinks, "Is that all there is to him?", just because she came with her own expectations. She expected a certain depth and you ended up being too shallow for her. Do

LONGER THAN A SHORT STORY: SHE THINKS SHE STANDS

Image
“Alfie! Alfie!! Alfie!!!” She rushed downstairs so excitedly that her breasts flapped up and down. It was worsened by the fact that she forgot to put on a brazzier. “Did you see what she put on the group page?” She knocked excitedly on his door. The lock turned twice slowly. “Bee, why are you so excited this early morning” He rubbed his eyes when he finally opened the door. She hugged him as was usually their custom. “You stink. Take a shower.” She wrinkled her nose at him. “Yea, your hair also stinks. Take it down.” He dared her with his eyes. Being a head taller than his bestfriend, he always had to bear the brunt of her smelly hair. “I just fixed this one week ago, bruh. Suck it up.” Her eyes were scathing then they suddenly lighted up as they always did when she had something interesting to say, "Have you seen what she put on the bro’s and those page?" His lips cocked up slightly. The name of that page always made him perk up a little. He had come up wi
