Who am I by Ogri Mathilda Sarah (@Mathillss)

I'm drowning in darkness
Extinct from Existence
Lost in my history
Lost not in misery
But drowning in the birth mystery

I wish it was a whirl pool
At least I'd get a chance to see and choose
And maybe roll with the truth

Was this a mistake
Am I my mistake
I find myself battling
With physics and science
Nature and Choices
Spirituality and Morality

How can I break from this cycle
How can I fall far from this tree
How can I help her free from worries
How can I help junior from all these psychological trauma

Pretence is my garment
Fake happiness is my lipstick
Sorrow is my heartbeat
And concealing is my concealer

My story has been heard this night
Should I pride myself in disgust
Or hold my head high with this punishment
Blindly he lead the folks

Folks of girls, concubines and slave
All in one he titled them wives
One in, one out
Two in Five out
Each day they learned more
For those who had the choice coped
For those who never did
Ran off holding tight their offspring

Who am I
And Who this she?
That provoked the anger that led to the slaughter of my dearest sib
Slaughter to his happiness
Slaughter to my Queen Mother peacefulness
All for a misunderstanding about a correction

You can never know this story untill I tell it to you
And yes I will tell it to you
But on one condition
That you'd put a stop to a polygamous home
For right now I know not who I truly am

But when I find myself
I will cloak God and preach this gospel of abstinence and true love
For now all I can hear are the sounding jingles of
You are a bastard!
I curse your generation!
Dare touch this seed from fornication
And you shall be hanged!

Well the truth is fornication lies the name we all bear
So pray for us, pray for the men
That controlled they be
Cause for now
I leave for a journey to find out
Who I am.

Who am I

Converted but Unbroken Christians!

Converted but Unbroken Christians! These Christians are converted but they have refused to be broken of themselves to the Will of God! One example we have in the Bible is Jacob! Jacob always loved to do things His own way! Although, he was His covenant child, he still went on to deceive His brother and cheated him out of His right! Later in Jacob's life, God renamed him Israel, which means "he struggles with God." In fact, Jacob struggled with God his entire life, as many of us do. As he matured in faith, Jacob depended on God more and more. But the turning point for Jacob came after a dramatic, all-night wrestling match with God. In the end the Lord touched Jacob's hip and he was a broken man, but also a new man. From that day forward, Jacob was called Israel. And for the rest of his life he walked with a limp, demonstrating his dependence on the Lord. Jacob finally learned to give up control to God. Converted but unbroken Christians are workers of

Broken Pieces 1

A boy was going for a walk. It was a Wednesday, Jerry was supposed to be in school just as his peers were, but things were no longer the same at home. Beverly his cousin was in coma and  his dad had become a drunk, his Mum, a nagging wife. Nothing seemed right anymore. So he decided, to take a stroll. Hoping it'd ease off the pain and anger he felt within. Two streets away from home, he heard a gun shot, three gun shots ; At the building where he was resting. The gate seemed to be ajar, so he walked in trying to figure out what had happened. He met his Mum lying helplessly in cold blood, someone had shot her, he tried running after the one who had shot her, but he had lost whomever it was, he went straight into the rooms searching, there was no one, except for himself and his dead mother. Her body had become all cold, how  did he get here in the first place? he wondered. There were sounds from afar, someone was in the house. "Jerry... " " Wetin happen ? &quo

It was Saturday, I was done with my chores, which were, fetching water from the well, sweeping the parlor and room. Lacing my boot before I head out to the field to play soccer. Dad’s phone began ringing.   “Hello” “Yes, I be Nnamdi, wetin happen?” “Chineke!” “Ewo…. Ewo!” “Ogini?” Mum asked. “Dad what is it? I asked confused” “Jerry” “Sir” “Chigozie” “Sir” “Your Uncle and Aunty just get accident” “Ehh!!!... Chineke me! ……. Life is funny isn’t it? Yeah it is, he bluffed and smiled, as he tried leaning on the prison wall. But it became ridiculous, when he stumbled on the truth. Beverly Parents were dead and buried. The accident that took place was indeed fatal. Beverly Johnson  had become an orphan, just in a twinkle. She began living with us. She had to adapt, for two years, when she’d be twenty years of age, to inherit her Father’s assets, it was willed so, and so it was. She was the only heir, and that left Dad and Mum too creepy. I was
