My Mask.

My smile hides my tears.
My laugh hides my screams.
It's been this way for years.
Things aren't as they seem.

I always seem so happy.
With not a care in the world.
But you should know, sadly
Many things go untold.

Nobody really knows me.
They only know my cover.
But I wish I could let it free.
Let them know what's under.

But instead, I practice
My smiles in the mirror.
Then the next thing I do is
Make my fake laugh clearer.

What is wrong? You need help?
Is all they will ask.
So I have decided
To live behind a mask.

It Ain't Love

IT AIN'T LOVE It comes in different ways. Many people are more eager to share their experiences in falling in love and the romantic relationships that they are in. People rarely share their experiences out of love . Some experiences really hurts and so people prefer keeping them to themselves. At times you might be deeply in love with this special someone but they don't even care about your feelings at all. It's a bad experience and rarely do people share it. It reaches a time when the best option is to let go and move on. All those said, some people still, are so blinded and rarely do they realize that they are being played. It's more healthier to realize it now, rather than waiting for your relationship to crack down leaving you so heartbroken, unhappy and helpless. There are some clear signs of rejection and falling relationships that I would like to share with you. You are my BEST FRIEND. Yeah its prettily known as the friend zone. Maybe you are falling deeply i

I have a Secret Too

Yeah, everybody has a secret. I have one, too. Most of my friends know, But what about you? I can't explain what I'm feeling. Could it be true? I'm not sure, but I think I'm falling for you. To be honest, I think it's quite possible. It's funny how this feeling grew. I'm falling once again, But this time it's for you. Tell me you like me Or at least give me a clue. I know this feeling I've felt it before, But that was different 'Cause he walked out the door... I could be losing it, But I'll let the rain pour Because a day without you Is like hitting the floor. All over again, I'll fight this war... Standing here with you feels so right, But something's wrong. This rhyme is a little off, But I'll sing this song. It's beautiful Because its melody is so lovely, but somehow it doesn't belong. It doesn't have to be perfect, So why don't you sing along? I'm being honest. I can't

I Waited Part 2

Image
 Her P.o.v I know I should be getting ready but I'm just lying on my bed scrolling through his feed. The man is fine and this he knows. Thoughts of what will go down tonight have me getting tingles in my vagina. His soft lips on mine as he takes unzips my dress and I his pants. He kisses my neck trailing down to the line between my supple breasts, circling my navel as he strokes my thighs. His huge hands all over my body sending shivers to my spine as he kneels down on me and gives me the best head I've ever received. The thought of all this makes me want to reach to my drawer and get my dildo out but I decide against it because I want to wait for the real thing. It makes me anticipate the night. I have been sex starved for 6 months now. My boyfriend is overseas working and won't be back until the end of the year. Deciding to meet up with him really took a lot of convincing from my friends and I can't help but feel a pang of guilt. What if my boyfriend is out there bein

Reasons people fall in love at first sight

When you know, you know. Even though some people don't believe in it, there's actually science behind the feeling of falling in love at first sight. True, deep love may not exist yet when you first meet someone, but you may create the memory of falling in love later on in your relationship. Some scientists do believe that love at first sight can be real for certain people, but staying in love is the deeper challenge. Do you believe in love at first sight? According to a 2017 poll from dating site Elite Singles (via Harper's Bazaar),61% of women and 72% of menthink that love at first sight is real - that's alotof people. Of course, it's hard to compare the way you love someone after you've spent years together making memories and being there for each other through the good and the bad, but there's definitely something to be said for instantly making a connection with someone the moment you meet. And as far as science is concerned, there's a reason you

How should a healthy relationship Be?

  Healthy relationships involve a lot of things narrowed to honesty, trust, respect and open communication between partners and they take effort and compromise from both people. There should be no imbalance of power. Partners respect each other’s independence, can make their own decisions without fear of retribution or retaliation, and share decisions. And in case the relationship ends, there is no stalking or refusal to let the other partner go. The Following are some of the Characteristics of Healthy Relationships Your partner Creates Time for you. 'You are never too busy for someone you love' Respect for each others' privacy and space. It goes by saying that you can't be with each other all the time but when you get that opportunity you can have fun. Your partner encourages you to spend time with friends or colleagues without them, and to participate in activities that you enjoy as well as doing other chores that are beneficial. You feel comfortable expressing your o

Bad Day

Cause I slept drunk yesterday, I wake up with a spinning head I can't tell left from right. I have to pull myself together and after a litre or two of chilled water with a squeeze of lemon I become steady,trying to wake my wife up since I can't do shit on my own, it's dark ;4 or 5 in the am-so I think, dogs are barking And a cock can be heard from a far,"why are you so stubborn!" slowly whispers ,my wife. Assuming that is rhetorical ,I let her be, I have to fasten my pace so I cannot be late for work. The weather is chill and mist has formed in most part of my neighbourhood, again I can't see shit and this time not because of the darkness but the mist. I have already left the house when I get a call from my boss "Hello, I thought we spoke yesterday and you promised to be here earlier than now!" "What!?,I mean sorry, I am on my way sir."I reply not knowing what we spoke about the previous day. My head is still floaty, memories about last nig

When You Finally Decide to Date(part 1)

So, lately I've came to realize that its quite hard to have it all together.  Once you decide to love someone or when you want to settle in one relationship, Strange things start happening, everyone likes you and they really open up. Y'all remember that time when you were single like nonsense, nobody really cared about you(leave alone your family n friends, you know). Really, you were once out there, lonely and searching. Your search and prayers, lets say, were answered. And now you are happy,and trying to make things better if not best, with your 'spouse'. And you can confidently confess that you are dating, like for those I interviewed, congratulations. Okay, now surely, as I have said earlier, I did some interviews here and here and also there. I wanted to prove some trash that was dumped on my head by one of my friends. I experienced the same trash, sadly, when I first tried things out( I mean dating, but well that's a stronger word you know. Oh and sorry I d

WHAT IF YOU MARRY YOUR AGEMATE!?

Your age difference matters How do you think your relationship will end up if you marry or date a girl whom you are age mates or is older than you? I've been asking myself this question several times until I met a friend who actually knows much about relationships than I do. Eddy Nika , a great life coach, came up with a scientific and intellectual evidence that actually answered my question and furthermore disapproving my view. I changed my view immediately 😉. I would like to share with you some of the things that I took note of. Dating and marrying in this context is one thing. According to Eddy Nika, its scientifically proven that a girl matures at the age of 9 and on the the other hand, a boy child matures at the age of 12. Bringing an age difference of three years. Meaning if you marry a girl of your age, she's three years older than you in thinking and maturity. Take in mind that you are supposed to lead the family and not your wife. What if you marry a lady who

Silence Is Gold

It is not your conversation That keeps me entertained But rather the way you look at me That makes me feel sustained It's the curve of your lips And the curl of your hair T'is all of the little things That make me stop and stare It is not your intelligence That drew me close to you It is not your sense of humour That has thrown me all askew It's the touch of your hand And the thoughts in your head T'is all of the little things The things that don't get said It's not your vivid history That's made me fall in love It's not your comprehension Of the world or what's above It is your soft temperament And the way you smile at me T'is all of the little things That make me want to see It's not when we are talking That I want to know some more It is not whilst you teach me I learn what I'm looking for It is the time we spend alone And the time in utter silence T'is all of the little things That form a strong a
