It’s Monday morning and it’s my birthday. I heard a light knock on my door, I knew it was either my mum or my dad. I deleted yesterday’s event from my memory, it’s a great day today and it won’t be a good thing starting my birthday with a fight. I went to the door but what I saw choked the life out of me. I had to close my door and open to see if I’m not imagining things but the two fighters were still there with cake in my mother’s hand and my dad smiling like he just won a lotto. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! They both screamed My jaw dropped like I don’t know what to say. I was just there speechless looking like a Jonah that is about to get swallowed by the shark. Then I remembered it’s first of April. What a great day to give birth to me I muttered to myself. Mum, Dad, I know you two didn’t plan it well before choosing this date to birth me but I won’t let you two make a fool out of me okay. I collected the cake from them and motioned back to my bed. How do they know I was so hungry for cake I s...

  It’s Sunday morning I didn’t feel like going to church cause I have this heavy pounding in my head due to the stress I went through yesterday. I dragged myself out of the bed to join my parent for morning devotion. Sometimes I just wonder why they disturb themselves with this morning devotion. I hurried to the sitting room and greeted my parent. They didn’t answer and I did not care. Jade, my dad called but I didn’t bother to reply. I know you’re angry, he continues. I’m sorry for what happened yesterday, it’s just….. It’s just what dad? I said You both put me through this everyday leaving me with so much pain. Do you know how I feel seeing you both like this? Do you know how much this affect me emotionally, physically, mentally? Do you? Do you know how bad I feel when my classmates talk about their parent, how happy they are and I have nothing to say? I segregated myself from my classmates to avoid questions because I don’t want them to know the kind of family I ha...

Good morning mum, good morning Dad, I greeted. Good morning they chorused. We were about to have our morning devotion, I went to my room to get my bible when I heard an argument between my parent. God! Why won’t these two just let me live in peace. I quickly rushed down the stairs before everything got out of hand. Just as I thought, my dad and mum has started fighting. I tried to get between them as I saw my dad holding my mum in the neck. I was thinking of what to do before my dad choke life out of my mum. I cried and tried to separate them but all was to no avail. I don’t want to be an orphan yet even if I wish I am. I quickly rushed to the kitchen and took a knife and put it on my father’s neck to distract him. When I finally succeeded in distracting him, I directed the knife to myself and threatened to kill myself if they don’t stop fighting. After i succeeded in stopping fight, I dropped the knife, rushed down to my room and locked myself there. I cried all day thinki...

Life isn't life without hardships. Sometimes in the smooth road, there's always a bump so we have to beware of how we drive.  The unseen is about unexpected occurrences in the life of certain people.  ****** Mum! I yelled What happened to you? Why are you groaning in so much pain? Somebody help me, I screamed. What happened to your mother? One of my neighbors asked. I don’t know ma. I just came back from school and met her groaning in pain. I replied. One of my neighbors whose car was available took my mother to the hospital, she got treated and some drugs was prescribed to relieve the pain. Have you called your father? One of my neighbors asked. No, I replied. Hmm! I guess her father is the reason for the pain her mother is going through now, one of my neighbors said. A tear dropped from my eyes but I stopped it from overflowing to avoid some stupid sympathies. My neighbors declared they’re leaving after helping to clear the hospital bills, I showed them...

I sit here alone listening to my music, Ignoring the passers by with their different physic, Enjoying my smoothie even though I'm moody, The feeling in my body made me recognize nobody. But you came all along and everything seems different, Even if I have a feeling I try to hide my interest, You were walking up to me with a smile on your face, But I had to ignore so you won't see the trace. You greeted with an hello but my head was still bent low, Then I noticed your voice was mellow that I had to return my hello. You speak with so much wisdom even when I thought you were a dum-dum, Then I realized you're not such a boredom and I replied with so much freedom. Our friendship started in such a slow pace, Trying hard to look into each other's face, But then it moved into a race that we can't even find a trace. We got too close that we chatted day and night, Even in the mid day till when it's light, The feelings started growing without us knowing, Everything moving ...

Why the discrimination all over the nation? People facing situations from detestation. You’re rich and I’m poor but that doesn’t give you the right to mock me at every chance you get. Our status might be different but you don't have to be unlenient just because you have enough and I’m trying to scale through the rough. You have a rich parent to care for your needs but I have to do the hard jobs to make ends meet. Yeah, we're different, financially, physically but should you toy with me mentally? You're white and I'm black but that doesn't make us any different, we’re just covered with different complexion but why the differentiation? You're my boss and I’m your subordinate but why treat me with all the hate and in the end you tell me I don't have a say. You're older and I'm younger but why talk to me in such rage and in the end you say I'm not your mate. You're my husband and I'm your wife you treat me with no respect just because they ca...

It was all an illusion I only had it in my head Oh! How sad I saw you holding my hand in yours The look was so assuring and so alluring that I was lost in it, but wait this can’t be a dream right? I felt your warm hands on my cheeks Wiping away the tear drops, telling me it’s gonna be okay but in reality you’re gone No, we still ate together last night, you told me you would like something like that the next day only for it to be the last day I'm gonna see you, This can’t be true but it dawned on me because you’re not here, It’s sad and so hard for me to act like I’m okay because I'm not but it’s okay
