Survival

Survival

Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sunlight 

Ingredients meant for my survival,

They say, "Fortune favours the bold,"

Yet speaking of natural selection,

"Survival of the fittest."


The question remains,

Am I competent enough?

I have neither strength to continue,

Nor skills to push through,

I'm just a weak fellow,

In need of joules to survive.


Sunlight is what I seek,

Yet, global warming is our aftermath,

With ultraviolet rays designated for my downfall,

The heat is unbearable,

Too much radiation & I'm gradually withering,

Death echoes everywhere...


Kindly grant me a chance to live,

I failed to produce fruit due to unstable seasons,

Can this world pardon my soul,

And grant me a greenhouse?

Planet Earth, do favour your child.


Poem written by: Nnessy✍️


If you find yourself in this struggle, do not let self-criticism be your enemy. Seek out the tools and resilience you need to survive. Helplessness is a weight you can cast off; giving up is never the answer.

Thank you😊

Life

I'm so excited writing my very first article, Life. We always claim to be brave or courageous but if things don't turn as expected we crush, crumble and break. Life is always determined by your attitude towards it, also your perception of things. I have decided to express myself using a poem. Life, Life, Life One moment you are here, next Miles away... East and west you go, High and low you travel Searching for greener pastures, Ending with "life isn't fair" statement  Whoever said, 'life is rosy?' Every day  you wake up, Expecting a transformed world,  Yet, nothing changes Complains, intolerance and the like always fill your mind. Always remember, life goes on. Trials and tribulations follow you Yet, a beam of light is always visible In the darkest corners of your life. You got the power to define you Drive yourself to your destination  Take charge of your life. poem by Queen Nnessy  Despite...

Winning you

-
Image
We all aspire to excel in everything we do. Born with a talent, filled with skills and destined for greatness; thus what you are. A winner who does no competition with anyone other than themselves and building an awesome character within. As you manage to accomplish something, its a cause for a celebration and you will be joyous and excited. I'm a winner Tick, tock, tick, tock,  The minute hand moved, As we got ready for the gunshot BOOM!!! All I saw was smoke, Coming out of the pistol, And swoosh everyone taking off,  Truth be told, these guys are professionals. I tried my level best, But, it was not good enough,  Dust from my fellow competitors  Filled the air like mist, And I began sneezing but the race was still on. Thirty minutes later,  I was lying on the ground, pounding;  A fellow athlete helped me back at my feet, I managed to proceed the journey, walking, And yes, I made it. Was not the best...

Finding self in the midst of noises

-
Image
We live in a fast-paced world where everything happens in a nanosecond. One moment, you are here, within a blink of an eye, you are cast off in deep caves of life by a storm, funny isn't it? You fail living up to your own standards, having various factors controlling you. Who am I Who are you? What's your purpose? What are your accomplishments?  Words that circulated in my head Is it a mirage?  Or just a mere confusion?  Verb, noun, adjective... All are a bunch of words Designed to describe me But are they worth my honour? Guess, I'm way beyond them Who am I? I am just a multipotentialite.  ~nnessy 💕 You got the power to design your life, the best way you can/want, but; at times, we end up being surrounded by noises, confusion... destructing us from hearing our innermost being. That sweet innocent voice called conscience is always masked and silenced, leaving you with no option than simply hear surrounding factors. Lots of protocol...

Amazing you

-
Image
Just a flashback of your life gives you chills. How did I escape, make it or survive the horror; is what scares you the most. You smelt death approaching and heard suicide whispering, but; against all odds you made it. What made you be where you are today is your amazing self, yeah right I mean you . I'm a butterfly  You say,  I'm this, I'm that, Based on my cocoon, Yet; I innocently ly silently inside, You don't bother to find out who I am, Yet, gullible enough to listen to those who hate me, Bravo I say, Well done! l lay low  anticipating the time I will  bloom and show the world who I really am, Who are you? You may ask, I'm simply me; A butterfly Remember the beauty of a butterfly lies in its wings; thus, the future determines the amazing you ~ nnessy 💕 There are situations manufactured to have you laid six feet under, where your history/lifespan ends. What trace are you to leave behind? Who are you? Are you going to giv...

Crown diary Esp. 1

-
Image
Staring in the mirror, looking at my skewed crown, stains on my clothes, what a mess I think to myself? How can one be in this state😂😂😂. If I am to enter a pagent competition, I would be declared a loser before it commences. Should I fix things, how? The world has already sentenced me with a death penalty because I don't deserve to be the next crowned queen. But, there is my loving father willing to fix my crown and probably clothe me better and prepare me for what's ahead. "Daddy, thank you for your love, grace, hope and also putting a smile on my face; teach me to be the little princess you've always wanted. I wish to learn from you and tomorrow probably help a fellow queen fix her crown too." What transpired for me to end up in this state? How is my dad going to help? Stay tuned for upcoming episodes next week😊

"I've failed more than enough..."

-
Image
How many people will raise their hands when the above-mentioned statement is posed? I concluded: Failure is a notion that you are doing something.  I believe failure is an ideology secretly transfered by lazy souls. Those not willing to make things right. They just discourage you till no atom of trying is left in you & you give up. Failure is simply calling quits, giving up or stop trying.   Nnessy💕 Failure began in your infancy stage when you missed your mouth with a spoon. Failed to contain food stuff on the fork/spoon doing a double job using your hands too. Oh, those baby steps were magical, having your parents cheering you to balance and keep moving despite the falls. Yes, let's talk about sport day, sometimes you took the last spot but, you were glad you raced or completed the run. The times you failed being a good kid & ended up being reprimanded/punished to be at your best behaviour.  Writing was the best moment, failing to hold a pen let alone writing. Y...

Lost Identity

-
Image
Identity is that which defines you. We can talk attitude & character, but identity surpasses all. It's more like your roots; where you came from & who you are. Do you have an identity, or you are just a wanderer/foreigner in your own space? Do you know who you are?  "Two years a slave. I lost my identity. Forgot I was a daughter of a King; princess Nnessy. More like Queen-Nnessy because I don't need solidification from a "Prince charming." This kind of ignorance affected me greatly."   Yeah, I'm born to serve but I'm also entitled to greatness too. I lost self... due to no's that came my way. I forgot that no's were my driving force of making a possibility of a yes. My dream to academics got shuttered, so did my utopian world, collapse. The time I had allocated to pursue my studies passed & I felt discouraged even to the point of trying. You know we always think once your grades are good; there are plenty opportunities out there f...
