Ebube's World

  As the day breaks, Bright and bustling, The long-awaited moment is here. Or so I believed, With joy filling my heart, My final day in the Den, My last exam as a student. Clad in white, Feeling radiant and confident, Strolling carefree, Then, the unexpected. Perhaps it's not so dire. Speeding like a tempest, Rushing like a torrent, It spills onto the ground, Leaving everyone stunned. This was meant to be my day, Why now, of all times? With tears welling in my eyes, I shuts them tight, Fainting to the floor. No, it can't be! My monthly visitor, Arriving unannounced, Unwelcome at this moment, Without a warning. Leaving it's stamp, On my pristine white attire. © Ebube

 I stabbed him. It didn't just happen. I warned him, but he wouldn't listen. maybe he thought it was a joke, until I stabbed him. It appeared first as a pen, then  scissors, then a knife. I told him to stop. He kept laughing. I said 'Shut up', but he kept talking. It echoed in my head. He wouldn't stop talking. He kept laughing. My head kept spinning. I picked up the pen and pointed it to him. He laughed at it, knowing, it couldn't hurt. In my mind, it transformed into scissors, I approached him, knowing I couldn't stab. But when it reached his stomach, I stabbed him. It turned into a knife. There was blood. Blood everywhere. It flowed to the ground. He looked at me, shocked. I looked at him and smiled. He won't underestimate me again. He knows I can stab.  He'll be scared. I did it. Yes, yes, yes All this I said while in the psychologist office, Under hypnosis,  Undergoing therapy I wish I could do it. It's so easy in my head, But my hands can...

  Masked in white,  Concealed in black, I wear a smile,  Yet hide a frown, A facade to shield me from my truth, From the depths within, I dare not face I flee from the reflection in the mirror, Haunted by the specter of my flaws, Terrified to confront the depths of my being, For within lies the chaos I despise. ©Ebube

Would life be better If I didn't know you? Would I be less hurt If I hadn't said Hi? Would I had escaped this argument  If I didn't chat you first? Would I have led a quieter life than this? It seems as though Memories we had Were as a night dream Which fades and is forgotten even before the day breaks  I thought we had something beautiful But it seems as though everything was a castle in the air It didn't just happen You stopped having my time And always claimed busy Which I supposed as a lie Here my trust was shaken on you And you did nothing to correct it  Making me a fool When I called it out You said I was nagging Till you cheated Making me a bigger fool Wasn't I enough? This thoughts floods my head  As I recall our argument  It was heated but I just wanted to talk I wanted to know "WHY?" Maybe it was so much to ask of you But I don't think so Maybe I was being selfish but it was all for you As a way to redeem yourself I didn't ask for the K...

  As though the dawn's awake The silence of the night deafening The whispers seems louder  Than usual More deafening  Than suppose As though  Nature has an important announcement It's that time of the year She awakens With voice so loud Her messages Always strike Down to your heart That you hope not to let go If you've been faithful Keeping being If you've fallen It's time to get up If you haven't started Your time is now  Cause she's awake She's purity Awakening purity ©Ebube

   "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". But I guess they didn't explain that there are several types of Lemons;some lemons, no matter how much you try to turn it into lemonade, still remain as lemons." "I stare with sadness and despair at the list of rejection letters. Thoughts of unpaid bills cloud my mind, even as I think about my aged mother, who went through so much to send me to school. Am I really a failure? Does life have to be hard? Why is this happening to me?" "I'm Amina. I'm 25 years old, 5ft7 and a graduate of Fine and Applied Art from Bayero University, Kano. I'm a photographer." "Sometimes, I feel life is unfair, especially to me. There are times I feel like taking my life, but the thought of my mother keeps me going as I wonder how she would cope." "It's Tuesday,another day to go to work and feel terrible. Though I love photography, the art of capturing people's beautiful moments,it chang...
