WOW!









BULLETPROOF VERSE 3

Kante:
You're so cold, but now I know
And you try to help, that I know
I'll pick up the pieces and grow
But up to you, I won't show

If you're ready, you'll come home
From east or west or where you roamed
I'll take a vacation; travel to Rome

Didn't do all that for you to love
Did it for you because I loved
But now, for me to prove my worth?

If you're in love, you'll show up
Please don't tell me to shut up
You left me, but like yeast, 
I'll come up

People keep asking me: what's up
But I just want them to shut up!
I'm dealing with things I never thought,
Don't forget we never fought.


Shore-Nice: 
You make me happy 
And you make me sad — all at once!
Memories with you are bittersweet all together!

You are just like the devil 
You give me little and you take much 
You rekindle my little heart with love 
Just for you to shatter my world 

You came to my life for a little while;
It felt like heaven
Only for you to give me scar forever
A scar that I still recovering from!

It's funny how certain people claim to love you 
Without evidence of love to show
Without evidence of love to prove
Love has action, but yours is just a reaction
To the circumstances around us.

I'm yet to recover 
From the scars you gave me 
But here I am 
Still reminiscing how real it felt. 
With tears in my eyes, 
I'm a victim of loving the devil 
When I thought you were an angel..

3rd March, 2022.


Shore told me he wasn't expecting a twist when I sent him Vashti's verse. He read and responded to the scene. It's a beautiful story with more twists, something we've seen and will see happening around our world. If you'll like to join the story, you know where I'll be.


Yours truly,
Iyanu.

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...

A PLACE

We all need a place, where we can be less perfect  Bottle our insecurities, and let it out in private Dine with our doubts and pick bones with faith It can be a person, it can be a place  It can be something we'll never do again. It could be healing, it could be coping  It could be something to help you keep moving  Life is a lesson, and people are blankets  Life is transient, and memories are strength Life is transient, and memories are strength. Like a plastic bag I kept some messy things  On the outside, it was fine But inside was less pleasant  Messy, not dirty, but serving a purpose  To keep my environment clean And help arrange my thoughts as I cleaned: Resented the baggage, but it grew on me And I came to realize its usefulness  We all need a place we can be less perfect  To figure out our weaknesses or find our strengths—   It's okay if we're lonely along the way  Or weak by ourselves when we can't find help Life is a l...
