"made of" not "a maid of"

Growing up,am sure am one of the numerous kids who were familiar with the line "there's a thin line between love and hate". Now all grown up (or atleast mostly grown up),i have figured that there's pretty much a thin line between everything good and evil, and the thin line is basically the choice(s) that we make.

If i want good grades,putting in extra prep hours could be the thin line,or if i want to be great in life,hardwork could be the thin line,and if i want a good president,my vote could be that thin line. So also there's a thin line between been 'made of' and been 'a maid of'. In case you haven't noticed,i have a thing for dreams. Not the dozing off and cojuring images kind,but dreams as in visions,aspirations,goals et al.

So am lying down and thinking of a lot of things when i remember a statement someone once said to me "...you are flippant,with so many ideas in your head,from subtle to absurd". Hmmm...anyways before i could allow it get to me,a voice in my head retorts almost viciously with "yeah right,that's because you are made of dreams,or would you rather be a maid of your dreams". Right then the sigh sound *hmm* turned to a *lol*.

Seriously,don't let anyone put you down,when they say you are flippant and have too many ideas,tell them its 'cos you are "made of" dreams. Savour every positive dream of yours as much as you can (its your right) and refuse to listen to the words of men that make you think you're just not good enough. Because the more you listen,the more you actually begin to believe it and then your dreams would start to drain out of you,till you become no longer "made of",but "a maid of"!

Love Me...Or Not!

She is fine, She is hot She is sexy, She is not You confuse my life with a stereotype The type you see in movies and the likes Love me or not, I remain me She is short, She is big She is tall, She is slim You make me feel like just a thing Like I have no right to just be me Love me or not, I’ll still be me I see those smiles which are nothing but sneers Your snide remarks have filled my ears I wonder if my life must go on the blink Just because I don’t care what you think Love me or not, I can’t stop being me A life of my own, that’s all I ask I seek no glory or attention to bask Let me be fat, I don’t give two cents I can be fat, to my heart’s content Love me or not, I love being me I will make no apologies for who I am Nor change myself for your praises to amass I will walk the streets with my head up high Not caring for the evil stares burrowed in your eyes Love me or not, its yours truly…Me

Book of Chronicles

We didn’t care a bit Threw caution in the air, not caring about the world I think that’s what killed us We loved like we knew, fought like we ought We had no one or thing to hold us down And that was number one We tried and tried, maybe even tried too hard I think that’s what killed us We loved like was expected and fought like we were taught We were just growing, still had dreams...but in love We wanted it all, but couldn’t give up naught And that was the second one We were too much in a hurry, I don’t know where to… Guess experience had taught us both – ‘no time’ We didn’t care for the niceties; all we wanted was to get down Not sure we ever loved, we never even fought We gave ourselves much space…too much if you ask me And that was number three Your laughter just caught my attention I watch as your eyes twinkle too Can tell you have a good heart, I allow myself a smile I’m sure there’ll be plenty of fights, but I’ll love the make-up too And right now our e...

Whose Fault?

11.41pm You wouldn’t believe me, but I’m writing this from behind a vantage point shielding me from the various daggers flying at me – and the source being my sister. So my sister is a doctor and my big mouth proceeded to tell her how colleagues at my office were against the Doctors’ strike and how they think Fashola was justified in his action. Bam!!!...wrong thing to say, because I have not had a moment of peace since then. Now I’m wondering… Whose fault? Who’s to blame for all of this? And right now, my questions go beyond the Fashola and Medical Doctors’ fiasco. The truth is I’m also pretty tired and I do not like my pay, but sadly I cannot go on strike. I also pay tax, and I think I’m underpaid, but still I cannot go on strike. We do realize that there is a problem with our system, and the system here is synonymous to Nigeria in it’s entirety and not necessarily the “government “alone. We love you Doctors, many people owe you their lives or the lives of their children ...
