LOVE: The Narrative

So, I didn't write this (chuckles).
It was written by a final year medical student- somebody will now tell me medical students have no life outside their books (*yinmu*).
Enjoy this beautiful narrative.

When you love what you can’t have!

Oh let us be clear, loving who you can’t have!

You stay awake all night thinking about her

It causes you pain but you still love her

You go about in the day carrying the burden

Here you go…she smiles back at you

Your day is beautifully made.

You wish she sees things the way you do

You wish she feel things the way you do

At some point, you tell yourself ‘she does’

But only get more pain b’cos you are uncertain

Then, you hope and pray the feeling passes

You even try to block  thoughts of her

Alas, days have gone, months have passed, years have elapsed

She is ‘the’ what makes the order of your emotions, thoughts and feelings

The one fear you have most!!!

She never gets to know how exactly you feel

Then you live most of your days unhappy,

You'd probably die carrying a burden to the grave

No!

So you finally summoned courage

To go utter your mind to her.

You got to the door- you couldn’t knock

Alright, let’s do this…

You knocked and you are welcomed in

Now, your tongue is stuck to the roof

Then you smile- finally you speak

Just came to say hi

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I think I’m gonna be out of my mind

I’m just gonna say it

Yeah! You did…

And finally you found out, the feeling is mutual

She also loved what she could not have

But why?

Its all procedural.

LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING (2)

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
