NEVER GIVE UP BY SIA

Never give up. It doesn’t pay anyone. It pains someone

Abuh Monday Eneojo

Maybe it is actually not the best time to play the song and tell you never to give up. Maybe you actually need this as a ladder to the next step. I really do not know but I have a rather funny great feeling in whatever you are about to do. Never give up! You see, life is a true abundance of simplicity many have made difficult with decisions and rather disheartening statements that dissuade, completely, humans from attaining feats in life.

Can you hear me? Don’t give up!

You have to pull yourself together, fight it and show, first, yourself that you can do it before the world sees who you are truly made of. I will tell you a story. It may not be the kind of story you are used to but it sure will get you to the discourse of the day on  Daily Wisdom Words Music Prompt.

For me, it was just a means to an end: get my poems out to the people of Kogi State, Nigeria. A state whose beauty transcends beautifully well via the Confluence, Niger River and Benue River and an array of the remnants of Frederick Lugard. On many occasions, I have seen these amazing things and I must say that it is brings a kind of inspiration you cannot explain. Michelle Huggelmann can explain every bit of what I say.

So, my first show on radio was not really a success because I repeated words and…just so I don’t bore you with the whole event of that day, my instructor told me that I needed to work on myself and speak authoritatively. Authoritatively? Yes. He said that I needed to command my audience. Consistency brought me to the better [art of the story. I never gave up. You should not! Now, my voice is a tool. One that I use well.

Enough talk. Let’s get into the day’s exercise. It may be coming late. Apologies.

  1. The Want

    The Want in your eyes
    when you are half-done
    colors you vague
    under the sun

    A whimsy flaw left unpolished
    touches your heart with what they could
    never abolish

    Feelings of you completed
    yearns deep seated & heartedly greeted
    by The Want in your eyes

  3. Demons stole childhood’s end
    thrust into another universe
    we’ve always lost us
    never knowing who we are.

    Ghosted by haunted love
    we sing lonely songs
    only darkened skies see
    how we found our way.

    Turbulent waves take us
    finding our real
    love’s true deepness
    longing for our light.

  4. I see the crazy old eyes
    of darkness wink
    trees waving in
    hissing winds
    what have i achieved
    if not believing i
    might grow wings
    a wish to flee
    merely surviving
    in the rhythm of things
    moving on smelling
    like burnt candles
    under a sky of
    overripe hues
    i stand misunderstood
