Hi,I'm here writing as it comes to my pen or fingers since I'm typing here.

I'm still so much of an amateur and hope to improve over time.





SARANGHAEYO!!


That's Korean

Keep writing. Nairaland was not built in a day

My alarm clock jingles again,

It's 4a.m already.

I jump off my bed and turn it off.

Can't I even get a second more of rest.

Within me,a voice replies me,

[/i]Not even a millisecond[/i],

It's sure right.


Another day has come,

I need to get down to the day.

Hardly saying my prayers,

I turn on the switch to my bedroom.

Alas,there's no power,

I reach for my torch,

I have to take a cold bath,

And conserve the little kerosene in my stove.

Like a drunk,I get into the bathroom,

And have a rushed bath

Jumping out almost immediately,

Because of the freezing cold harmattan has brought.


I run back into my bedroom,

And it's nearly five o'clock already.

I trip over my shoes.

I must have kicked those by last night.

My ankle is twisted,

But I still struggle up.

A tear escape my eyelids.

It isn't the hurt from my ankle.

It's my hurt heart.


Every single moment is tiring,

Every single step weighs my soul,

Every single speech hurts my heart,

I keep trying,

Impressing bosses,customers and potential helps,

But they all see me as overdoing it.


I wish they could give me a little more credit.

Now,I'm on my way out,

For another day,

Another weekday,

It's not like weekends are any different.

Life has gotten harder,

Getting two ends together is stressing,

My everyday smiles are very much fake,

But I need to do that.

I need to survive another day.

I need to fight it out.

I need to show them I ain't backing down.

I need to prove I'm worth much more.


To my dad who doesn't care,

To my mum who supports me,

To my brother who cheers me on,

To my friends who make me laugh,

To my colleague who challenges me,

To my model who motivates me,

And to my God who looks over me.


I'm gonna survive this,

Put on my best smile,

No matter how tiring that could get.

I'm gonna put on my best shoes,

No matter how hurt my ankle may feel.

I'm gonna keep calm,

No matter how pissing the bus conductor could get.

I'm gonna keep trying,

No matter how much my colleagues puts me down.

I'm gonna keep reading,

No matter how the lecturer rates me off.

I'm gonna keep going,

No matter how many more times I trip.



I'm gonna keep rising,

No matter how many falls I make.

I'm gonna keep living every single day,

No matter how much you try to put me down.

I'm gonna survive this day,


Even if it's tiring now.
