How Time Works

Crippled with anxiety so I sit in this wheelchair below the clock on the wall

This happens to be my favorite moment knowing that time heals all


I'm forced to watch time and opportunity slowly pass me by

A funeral is yet to come 'cos with time these memories will soon die


Everybody has a body language but all mine translates to is pain

Maybe I'm not fluent enough and thinking about it drives me insane


I can't get over the times I murdered people with words and condemnation

Used my tongue like a double edged sword as I destroyed their reputation


I unfollowed everyone on my twitter because I have to follow my intuition   

I'm sure it's not only me that does this since it's the human condition


My room is a graveyard because I've got skeletons in my cupboard

I'm colorblind and I'm beginning to think that salvation is colored.


My peers are living alone now while I live with regrets

I've been lonely 'cos I have friends I haven't reconciled with yet


I'm convinced I'm broken because lately I've been feeling blue

At times I try to hold it together but they pour out just like tears in the eyes do


When night comes, over my numbed body I pull up my bedsheets

Time becomes the house I'm trapped in and I'm running out of it

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...

Yours Hopefully

 Last night I laid in bed with my face gazing at the ceiling. Tears rolled to my ears as only I knew what and how I was feeling But sometimes I wonder what my pillow thinks every night Knowing it supports my head every time yet I still don't end up alright But how can I explain to an inanimate object what letting out is That I convert my pain to liquid and then send them as tears Weeks ago I got on a call with my cousin and he asked for some cash He has always been helpful to me so I felt bad telling him I didn't have Funny enough I had thought of calling him for some financial assistance But he called first and I disappointed him that instant "It's okay brother, soon we'll look back at moments like this and laugh", he said My eye balls got wet to his encouraging words, hopeful yet I cried instead  Today I got a mail from a job I was interviewed months ago to resume in two days Here I lay in bed soaking my pillow again, but I'm sure it understands these ar...

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 ...
