WHEN SORROW MET PAIN

DARK SORROWS, WHITE PAIN.
ALL BLUE, MY DEPRESSED SOUL...
GREEN MOMENTS, YELLOW FACES.
NEVER NOTICED... CUZ SORROW MET PAIN.

ANGUISH AND TURMOIL.
RAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
SADNESS CLOUDS THE MOMENTS.
CUZ SORROW MET PAIN.

WE BATTLE TO SUPRESS ANGER.
YET, WITH EACH NEW DAY.. MORE DANGER.
NOTHING COMES EASY, EVERYTHING'S SAD.
CUZ SORROW SURE MET PAIN.

WE SULK AND TANTRUMS RISE.
WE FAULT EVEN THE TINIEST THOTS OF WOT WE THOT WAS HOPE...
WE VENT AND OUR HEADS BANG IN VAIN.
ALL BECAUSE SORROW MET PAIN.

THER'S A REASON THIS SADNESS CAME UP AND ITS CALLED *MY SISTER*... SOMETIMES I WONDER, ARE U REALLY MY SISTER???? WILL TELL THE STORY LATER.

XOXO.

TEASE ME OUT

AS I WALKED IN, I WATCHED AS SHE GROWLED AND WRITTED IN PAIN.
WAS THAT FOR REAL OR WAS SHE JUST BEING OVERLY DRAMATIC??? I MEAN, THE ANAESTHETICS WAS SUPPOSED TO NUMB THE PAIN. THEN AGAIN, I THOT OTHERWISE,.... SEEING THE WAY THE DOC SCOWLDED HER AND POKED ON WITHOUT A SOOTHING WORD. YEAH, AT THIS POINT, I WAS DISCOURAGED TO EVEN GET AN APPOINTMENT CARD.

AFTER HE WAS DONE WITH HER, IN THE SAME DRY TONE, NOT MINDING THE STREAM OF WAITING PATIENTS,, DANGLED WORDS AT THE PROFESSIONALLY DUMB REGISTRAR ISSUING THE APPOINTMENT CARDS. IT WAS AT THIS POINT I SAID TO MESELF " THIS DUDE AIN'T TOUCHING ME". I SILENTLY PRAYED FOR A 2ND DOC TO APPEAR BUT NONE DID AND I RESIGNED MYSELF TO FATE AS USUAL BUT WITH AN ATTITUDE. PICKED MY CARD AND WENT INTO THE EXAMINATION ROOM....

DOC: IN HIS DRY TONE... SO TELL ME, WHAT'S UR PROBLEM?

ME: I'LL APPRECIATE IF U TALKED TO ME ON A SOFTER TONE CUZ IF U'RE GONNA ACT THE WAY I'VE WATCHED YOU DO ALL ALONG,.. THEN I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE.

DOC: MHHHH.. OK MADAM, HOW CAN I HELP U??

NOW WE'RE TALKING. I EXPLAINED MY ISSUES AND ALL AND HE LISTENED.
AFTER THE CHECK, HE SAID, " ITS JUST GONNA BE A MINOR SURGERY. WON'T TAKE MORE THAN 15MINS".
I HATE THE "S' WORD, SO I EXCUSED MESELF TO THINK IT THRU.
AFTER BATTLING WITH THE IDEA AND WATCHING THE WAY PPLE GROWLED, I CHICKENED OUT.
I WALKED BACK IN AND TOLD HIM THAT I WOULDN'T DO IT THAT I NEEDED AN ALTERNATIVE. HE SMILED AND PATTED MY HEAD AND SAID. "IT'LL JUST BE FINE. U WOULDN'T FEEL THE PAIN".
I MET HIS ASSISTANT WHOM I TOLD TO GET ME MEDS AS I COULDN'T GO THRU WITH THE PROCEDURE. HE SAID HE JUST CAN'T LET ME WALK AWAY LIKE THAT...ATLEAST GET A CLEAN UP FOR N1000. AND AT THIS POINT, I GOT MAD.

ME: U GUYS THINK TIS IS SOME SORTA JOKE HUH. ITS ALL ABT THE MONEY HERE AND U ENJOY THE XTRACTION PROCESS..... U GUYS ARE TOTAL JERKS.
THEN AGAIN, I THOT.... "CLEAN UP"... LETS DO IT.
AS I LEFT THE CLEAN UP TABLE, THE DOC CAME TO ME AND SAID,

DOC: IT'S NOT A PAINFUL PROCEDURE DEAR YOUNG LADY. "I'LL JUST TEASE IT OUT". INFACT,COME AND WATCH ME DO IT. I WATCHED AS HE INJECTED THE LADY BEFORE ME AND 1,2,3.... IT AS ALL OVER. SO I MADE UP MY MIND TO DO IT THAN LOOSE MORE SLEEP.

AS I LAY ON THAT CHAIR, MY MIND WANDERED AWAY FROM MY BODY. I CLUTCHED MY PHONE AND PLUGGED MY EARS WITH THE EAR PHONES AND ALLOWED SOME SAD MUSIC TO FILTER THRU MY EARS. I DIN'T WANNA THINK OF WHAT CAME NEXT AS MY JAW DROPPED AND THE NEEDLES PIERCED..... MHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WAS LEFT FOR SOMETIME TO BE KNOCKED OUT.. IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES,WHILE I WATCHED, SHE DANCED OUT... OH YES... IT WAS A REAL "TEASE OUT". I ASKED FOR HER TO WRAPPED UP AS I CHEWED ON A COTTON SWAB TO STOP BLEEDING. I FELT NOTHING BUT DIN'T KNOW WOT LAY AHEAD.

AS THE ANAESTHETICS WORE OFF,....... HERE CAME THE BRAIN BLOWING CLASSIC PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. THE DRUGS DIN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY EFFECT AND I ALMOST RAN OUTA MY SKIN. NO FOOD, JUST WATER AND BOY... I WAS HUNGRY. TOOK A STRONGER PAIN KILLER AND WAS ABLE TO CATCH A SNOOZE,THOUGH I WOKE UP A COUPLE OF TIMES TO ADJUST MESELF... BUT THAT PAIN WAS JUST SO REAL.

AND TODAY, I'M FINE. MILD PAIN THOUGH. MHHHHHHHHH, WHEN I TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BABY,I WONDER AT HOW BIG SHE IS. CUZ FROM MY MIRROR, SHE WAS JUST A TINY PAINFUL RASCAL TAHT WASN'T LIKE THE OTHERS.. AND OF COURSE I ACCUSED THE DOC OF TAKING OUT THE WRONG BABY... WHICH WAS LIKE AN INSULT TO HIM....

YEAH,.............. THE DENTIST AND I.

OK..... THE DAY DAWNED BRIGHT AND CLEAR AND NO PLANS WHATSOEVER. I DECIDED TO UNDO MY HAIR AND RETOUCH AFTER A CALL FROM "ARROGANCE". I TOLD HIM I'L CALL HIM BACK IF AND WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH WHAT I'M DOING.
AT SOME MINS AFTER 5PM, JUST AS I LEFT THE BATHROOM, MY GOD SISTER CAME TO VISIT AND WE SAT DOWN TO GIST WHEN THE PHONE RANG AGAIN.

ARROGANCE: SWEET, U SAID U WERE GONNA CALL???

ME: I'M JUST DRESSING UP, I'LL STILL CALL U WHEN I'M DONE.

MY NEAR DEATH XPERIENCE

I give this post up for SHORTY. Having read her post A REMINDER TO US ALL', I FELT I SHOULD SHARE THIS. .. IT ALL HAPPENED ON A BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY MORNING IN JULY 2009. I HAD PUNISHED MY BODY TRYN TO COME TO TERMS WITH A DOOMED RELATIONSHIP. I HAD BEEN BITTER AND NUFN SEEMED TO MATA ANYMORE. THE MORE I SAW PPLE SMILING AND NOT FEELING MY PAIN; THE MORE CONVINCED I FELT DAT I WANTED TO DEAL WIT IT ALL ALONE. LIFE SUCKED.. I WAS DRESSIN UP FOR WORK WEN THE RAIN CAME POURING DOWN (TRUST CALABAR WIT THE RAINS). I CALD OUT TO MY HOUSE MATE TO WAIT UP 4 ME. JUST AS I TURNED TO PICK UP MY JACKET, I FELT A SHARP PAIN IN MY CHEST AND WIT A LOUD SCREAM I PASSED OUT. I WOKE UP BY AFTERNUN SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE IN A HOSPITAL BED. STIL GROGGY FROM MEDS,WIT PIPES IN MY ARMS, I COULDNT UNDASTAND WOT WAS GOIN ON AROUND ME. BY THE NEXT DAY,MY ROOM MATE HAD TRIED TO XPLAIN WOT HAPEND TO ME BUT NONE OF IT MADE SENSE TO ME CUZ IN MY MIND I HAD GONE TO WORK AS USUAL. I ASKD TO SEE THE DOC IN CHARGE OF MY CASE AND HE TOLD ME HOW LUCKY I WAS TO BE BROUGHT IN ON TIME. HE XPLAIND TO ME THAT I HAD BEEN IN A SHOCK AS BLOOD SUPPLY WAS CUT FROM A CERTAIN PART OF MY HEART. I WENT THRU SERIES OF TEST AND WAS FINALY PLACED ON MEDS. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT CAME WIT INSOMIA AS I WAS AFRAID I'LD DIE JUST BY CLOSING MY EYES. BUT MY BODY BEGGED FOR DAT SLEEP. SLE3PING PILLS BECAME MY ONLY AID. PAIN KILLERS MY DRUG OF CHOICE TO NULL THE PAIN I FELT. WIT AL I BATTLED WIT, I HAD REALIZD THAT NUFN IS WORTH DYING FOR. AND IF MY ROOM MATE WASNT HOME DAT MORNING, NOT ONLY WOULD I AVE BEEN 4GOTEN, I WOULD NEVA HAVE SHARED IT ALL HERE. I HAVE A LIFE WORTH KEEPING AND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THANK U SHORTY.

BREAK UP PALAVA

BREAK UPS,WETHER,U DO IT,OR HE ENDS IT WITH U, SURE HAS ITS WAHALA.
HAVING ENDED IT WITH ARROGANCE, I COULDN'T GET AS LIL AS A WINK LAST NITE CUZ HE FELT HE HAD THE POWER TO MAKE IT RITE ON THE FONE.

HE CALLS THIS MORNING TO ASK "WHY DO WE ALWAYS FITE WEN BOTH OF US ARE LOSING??
ME: U ARE THE ONE LOSING CUZ I'M NOT. I'M ACTUALLY GAINING JUST BEING AWAY FROM UR SORRY BEHIND.


SHOW ME THE GUY WHO COMES RUNNING TO U WITH ALL THE SWEET PROMISES OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER COMMITMENTS,AND I'LL TELL U THE SIMPLE TRICK THAT SCARES THEM AWAY.

TRICK: JUST COME ON A LIL STRONGER, AND MENTION THE FACT THAT U WANNA HAVE HIS BABY.............. AND SEE HOW HE LEAVES AN OVAL SHAPED HOLE ON UR DOOR.

THATS MY SECOND BREAK UP STORY, WITH NO REPLACEMENT.

ELIMINATE AND ADD.

I GUESS THIS IS THAT TIME IN MY LIFE THAT MY BESTEST FRIEND TALKED TO ME ABOUT.
OK, I HAVE A BEST FRIEND(FEMALE), WHO IS LIKE THE SECOND ME. AND MY BESTEST FRIEND IS A MALE, MORE LIKE A FATHER FIGURE. BUT BESIDES GOD, HE KNOWS EVERY TINY WEENY BIT DETAILS ABOUT MY LIFE.SUMTIMES WISH I SHARED THAT CLOSENESS WITH MY DAD, BUT HE'S TOO BUSY PAYING ATTENTION TO ................ WATEVA.

I THOT THAT THIS TIME WILL XTEND TO THE NEARBY FUTURE, BUT ITS HERE TODAY, SO I'LL JUST HANDLE IT WELL.
HE SAYS I'M A LOT MORE GROWN SINCE OCTOBER LAST YEAR AND HE'S SO PROUD OF ME.AND I LOVE THE FEEL.

SO I ENDED IT WITH ONE OF THE GUYS. I'LL JUST CALL HIM "ARROGANCE". U SEE, I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND 9MONTHS,AND NEVA A DAY WITHOUT ISSUES. I'VE SEEN HIM ONLY SIX TIMES AND YEAH, HE'S THE ONE THAT SHOWED UP IN MY HOUSE.HANDSOME, TALL, WITH ALL THE QUALITIES OF A PLAYER. I LIKED THE WAY HE MAKES ME LAF BUT IT'S ABT TIME HE LEFT CUZ HE'S MORE PAIN THAN GAIN.

I REPLACED HIM WITH ANOTHER,SO THE NUMBER NEVER LEAVES 5.

GOT A CALL FROM A GUY ASKING IF I WANTED TO BE A MODEL. I'VE ALWAYS TOT IN THAT DIRECTION,AND NOW I GOT AN OFFER, WHAT DO I DO????????????????????? EVEN IF THE PAY AIN'T MUCH, I KNOW I'L LOVE DOIN WHAT I DO.

HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND Y'ALL.

WHO'S NEXT????????????????

THINGS ARE GOING FAST AND SLOW AND I KNOW NOT WHAT TO THINK. IT'S BEEN A GOOD START THIS YEAR AND I KNOW I'LL FINISH FIRST.
I JUST DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GRATEFUL I WAS BORN INTO MY FAMILY ALBEIT CRAZY MOST TIMES. I LOVE MY DAD, BUT I KNOW IT'S BETTER WITH MY MUM.

ONE OF US CHANGED HER STATUS RECENTLY(NOT MY SIS, BUT MY FRIEND). WE WERE THREE, NOW ONE IS GONE. WE HAD OUR TIME TOGETHER FROM CHILDHOOD TO TEENAGE YEARS TO NOW. THOUGH SEPARATED BY SCHOOLS, WE STILL FOUND WEEKENDS TOGETHER TO CATCH UP ON LOST TIMES. TRULY, ONE OF US IS GONE.
I DECIDED TO THROW HER A LIL PARTY FOR HER WEDDING.DAD LET ME USE THE BAR,AND ALSO LET ME HAVE BOOZE FOR THE PARTY. MUM TOOK CARE OF THE AFRICAN SALAD AND FOOD. I PLANNED IT SMALL, TILL THE GROOM CAME WITH HIS FRIENDS AND HER BROTHER WITH HIS TOO. DAD HAD FROWNED A BIT CUZ WE STAYED UP LATER THAN XPECTED DESPITE THE INSECURITIES, BUT WE SURE HAD A BLAST, AND EVERY1 THANKED ME FOR THE DAY. AFTERALL, WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR.THE QUESTION ON EVERYONE'S LIPS IS " WHO IS NEXT"????????????????????

SO, I SAID YES TO 5 GUYS. I'M A GIRLFRIEND TO 5 GUYS, ALL TALKING THE EVER AFTER WAY EVEN WEN I KNOW I'M NOT READY. WHO CARES. MIND U, B4 U GO CALling ME NAMES, I TOLD THEM ABT EACH OTHER, SO IF THEY CHOOSE TO STAY, THEIR BUSINESS NOT MINE. THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT IS,THEY ALL THINK I'M MAKING THEIR OPPONENTS UP. I GET NOT TO SEE ANYONE OF THEM BUT THE PHONE KEEPS RINGING LIKE HELL AND I PICK JUST WEN I FEEL LIKE IT. I'M NOT IN LIKE WITH MARRIAGE IDEAS FOR NOW.

ONE OF THE GUYS CAME TO SEE ME AT HOME AND THAT CAUSED SOME EYEBROWS TO RAISE.NEIGHBOURS,AUNTS, FRIENDS ETC. MY AUNT WON'T LET ME BE. I TOLD THEM, HE'S EVEN THE WORST OF THE LOT AND MY DAD UNDERSTANDS WHY.

*CRAZY* MY COUSIN IS HAVING MEN CRISIS. SHE WANTS TO TIE THE KNOTS, BUT ALL GUYS SEEM TO BE ON THEIR HEELS AROUND HER AND SHE'S MAD ABT IT. SHE'S HATING ME CUZ I'VE GOT 5 COMING AND I'M NOT EVEN SERIOUS WIT ANY.

MY GRANDMUM THINKS I'M RIGHT ABOUT MY DECISIONS, BESIDES OF WHAT USE WOULD U BE TO A MAN AS A FULL TIME HOUSE WIFE?

I TOOK TIME TO COUNT ALL THE GUYS, I'VE AS LITTLE AS KISSED IN MY WHOLE LIFE AND REALIZED THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ONE, FOR EACH YEAR SINCE I WAS BORN. THE NUMBER IS ALARMING.

ONE OF THE GUYS ASKED, "HOW MANY BOYFRIENDS HAVE YOU HAD"
ANS: OFFICIALLY, THREE. BUT I'VE KISSED OVER 15.

MET A YOUNG LADY RECENTLY CRYING OVER A MAN WHO SAID HE LOVED HER, AND STILL LEFT HER. AND I ASKED.

ME:DOES I LOVE YOU MEAN I WILL MARRY YOU??
