Happy new year everyone! May this year bring us all more happiness. We are starting the new year with a post by Oviemuno “Slow Zeus” Emekene. This poem is to encourage you, try to get the message from it and learn. We have lots of more interesting posts coming up and surprises for our readers this year. Don’t forget to share and comment. Your comments will be truly appreciated and there could be a gift for the person who comments most at the end of the year. Enjoy!
A story without cliché
This is how a story goes,
With nervous endings like we triggered dendrites,
Born with nothing,
Fighting against the odds
Which gets as cliché as it could,
Succeeding against the upheaval.
But to say the truth,
It sometimes ends with all your hardwork being buried under the upheaval,
No matter how hard some people try, they could never come out or that fix,
It seems as though the universe has marked them out for damnation.
The amazing thing about these people is this,
They’ll never give up,
They always carry a glimmer of hope in their eyes
Some would sit with you and proclaim like Father’s do when advising a child.
They would say
‘Dear little one, never stop fighting for your dreams
Fortune might be against you now, but it could never hold out forever,
I’d rather die trying to reach my dreams, than give up and live an unfulfilled life
They would try to bring you down every minute,
But I know this, my child, your desire and unforseen positivity would see you through”
Listen to these words for I am only but a messenger
Yours truly,
The Horrible Poet.
