The Girl in a Bubble

 It's evening as I watch the sunset wave goodbye

Before fading into oblivion as darkness takes over the sky


Few moments later, the sound of chirping crickets keeps me company

I find peace out here in the open 'cos behind my entrance door lies agony


I'm at the dining table with family yet I feel miserable and alone

Although I'm welcomed in their house but I'm not in their home


Because many years ago before Dad left us he wanted a son

Mom was too young then to have a child so she wanted none


But as fate had it I still came anyway and my misery started

The same way Dad left, that's the same way my happiness departed 


My life feels like a theatre because it's full of drama

But I know I still am a stranger to mum and grandma


I wanted to be a doctor but mom sent me to a law school 

Maybe she's trying to mould me into someone she can accept and love too


I feel punished when all I ever wanted is a mother's love and acceptance

I want to be close to them in relationship and not just in distance


I want to rebuild the bond that over the years, has leveled down to a rubble

So that whenever I'm in their midst, I won't feel like a girl in a bubble

      I had a picture like that but since the bubble is not a literal one, I didn't need to 😁

A Thousand Ways To Lie

Let's face it, we're all liars, though some of us are more creative. So I'll tell you few things I've said before and hope I don't regret this. "Ohh my gosh, I can't hear you, my network is really bad" I just couldn't tell you I'm bored by you but I wish I had. I tell you "I'm almost there" when I'm reluctant to get out of bed. Probably busy, going through thoughts filling up my head. I say "It's so great to see you" while putting on a fake smile. If I tell you what I meant, your happiness won't last for a while. "Sorry I didn't see your call, I'm really busy here in Tokyo" By now you should know I'm lying because I'm a real life Pinocchio. I use "I've got plans on that day" to get out of chances to meet new faces. Just because I feel uncomfortable in a crowd so I avoid new places. When the words I let out are hurting and too true, I say "I'm ...

The Girl I Couldn't Love

She and I were close but not like stores after 10pm She was an angel whenever we talked in the DM She was fierce, if you happened to meet her for real Then you'd gladly wish her bad side was just surreal An introvert, she hated everyone that ever crossed her path For this, I believed our friendship would never come apart She was great yet her good qualities were engulfed by her bad ones They say one day she'll change and that's what even her Dad wants She told me about her feelings for me in ways I couldn't comprehend That was really sad because honestly, I only loved her as a friend She was furious at me, eventually our friendSHIP started to SINK There was a change in her behavior yet I couldn't understand a thing I wish she understood my reasons before proceeding to hate me too. I could have made my motives known only if she had let me to. To be sincere, I never dreamt of us ever being mere enemies. So I took the responsibility of avoiding co...

Personality

My name is Jude Umoren and I’m not a bad person My recent strange behaviors results from past lessons Don’t judge my life by the chapter you walked in on Because I’ve good and bad days just like everyone I pretend I’m a good singer and also wish I could dance I don’t hold grudges because I’ve got my future in my hands I hate complications so I try making my life simple I’m an introvert and extrovert, it differs with people The only open relationship I have is between me and my bed I’m a victim to depression that without grace, I’d be dead I fall in love faster than you’d fall into a swimming pool I’m too sensitive and just like most people, I hate school Sometimes I walk into a room and wonder why I even came in I can do bad things too but my excuse is home training I’ve lost so many friends because of my honest opinions I know they’ll come back once I start making my millions And if after all these you don’t still like me, Jude Then the problem isn’t me, it’s ...
