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 are happy tears

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 ...

Days of the Weak (Week)

My alarm clock screams at exactly 9am on a MONDAY. It's the beginning of the week and it seems like I'm gonna have a long day.  I have to pay my Bro a visit in the hospital tomorrow and I can't choose this. It's a must and that's why I developed and nurtured this hatred for TUESDAYS.  I'm haunted by memories I can't let go no matter how hard I try. Because three WEDNESDAYS ago I had to watch my best friend die. On THURSDAY I have to order for a new set of medications while I fight diabetes. Scared because after my fight with my landlord, he said "You'll die, bet this". They say "Thank God it's FRIDAY (TGIF)" but I'm not really that grateful for this. Because I'm living a sad life and I haven't  stopped feeling miserable for days. I was engulfed by an ocean of thoughts last SATURDAY. On the couch in the front porch where I sat all day. And on SUNDAYS I go to church because I'm not an atheist. My spiritual life may b...
