Psalms of Olúwalónimí

The two sides It's seen in almost every thing we do Every interaction In the very big and important things And in the minute and trivial ones.  We often stay at either side of the fence Holding our positions  Which are mostly judgemental Heck! Sometimes even hurling insults at the person on the other side Disparaging their perspective  Belittling their effort When we could simply climb the fence to see the other's perspective.  Maybe it isn't that simple, but it'd definitely be worth it.  When you take someone in  It's easy to think they are a liability  Especially when it seems so.  It's easy to think they have no thoughts or clue, as to how you manage to run the house Pay the bills Give up your privacy Or even your way of doing things.  It's easy to think they don't consider things That they bring nothing to the table (as long as it's not money)  And the truth is no one can really handle your things the way you would.  Even when t...

So much joy.. It feels like fluid I can touch it Then pour it all over To make an art...or something. Oh the joy of uncovering! It comes from realising that you, my brother have yet a place in your heart for me. That you want to make things better. And oh I've longed for this day To tell my side of the story To tell how the test faced me To share my weakness Cos I know it's a test Heaven cabals knows how to do that so well. So a test came, It faced me in a way You in a way Dee in a way S in a way But I could see, he helped me see.. Past the offence And patiently wait for this day Thank you For uncovering; I could see how much of the brunt you had to bear I wasn't the only one after all I could see how a tiny 'i don't like it' snowballed into hostility... You bared your heart and mind And why the fuck can't I trust you again? Does love not cover all things? Have I not received this love? Are we not all broken and to be broken...

31?! Isn't God wonderful? Wasn't it just yesterday, when I was born?  Wasn't it just yesterday, when I took my first step?  I remember primary school days, when I barely had something to worry about. Then secondary school days, when I thought I was all grown. Lol... And then uni, how He picked me up and told me there was more to life, just as I had suspected. It's been one hell of a journey. One I wouldn't have any other way.  I just want to say thank you to an amazing, phenomenal and beautiful lady-me.  For yielding to Him For embracing the processes  For learning from the lessons For taking every stroke in good faith For not holding back For holding on For pushing through  For listening and making corrections For bearing the pain  For staying, through the confusions and plenty questions, even when it seemed answers would never come...  For bearing the onslaught...  I'm aware there are blindspots, Things to be checked or worked on,  Thi...
