SINS OF THE PAST



Olive had just shattered my heart
Did I just say heart
I no longer had one
But I was in love with her
We were the perfect couple
But she broke it off with me in public
I had murdered sleep
I had nightmares
I couldn't help but think
My past had caught up with me
I had robbed an innocent girl of her innocence
I had killed her pride
And now olive exerted that vengeance by putting a knife to my heartI killed her joy
She murdered my heart
I can't help but weep
Because I was the reason for someone's pain
Now someone else has caused me so much pain that I don't even have the strength to heal
If only I could turn back the hands of time
I would not even hurt a fly
But now the sins of my past
Have shattered my heart
and I am all but a battered soul

THOUGHTS OF YOU

Image
I was glad on your success, that you'll be traveling on the of success for the thousands of miles away, But somehow inside of my heart, there was a will which wanted you not to go away, I can't live a moment without you... And This anxious mind keeps me awake, I can't close my eyes, Since I'm afraid, There is the heavy feelings; can't carry the weight, The thoughts of you are like treasure to hide, Look how my tears are straight aside. © Farhan Baloch

How to feel at Home

At different points in time, I have had to be accommodated in someone's house for many reasons. When I worked in Lagos, my friend sheltered me for six months. I didn't pay rent. I have also stayed with some families for days and weeks maybe due to work or just visit. One key thing I always have in mind is that I am outside my house and someone has offered me shelter and sometimes food. I am eager to contribute. If I sleep till 10am in my house on Saturdays, I can't try it in an uncle's family house. If I wake up in the morning and just bath and leave in my house, I can't try it in another person's house. If I eat and keep the plate in the sink in my house, I rarely try it in another's house. Many times, I will be offered a VIP treatment: "No, don't worry, the kids will clean it", "oh, don't worry I will wash it". I definitely refuse such offer. When I am welcomed to a place, the only way I show I am welcomed is to be a part of

NAKED TRUTH

One day, a school teacher wro 9×1=7 9×2=18 9×3=27 9×4=36 9×5=45 9×6=54 9×7=63 9×8=72 9×9=81 9×10=90 When He was done, he looked back at the students and they were all laughing at him  because of the first equation which was wrong. Then the teacher said the following: I wrote the first equation wrong on purpose, because I wanted you to learn Something important. This was for you to know how the world out there will TREAT you! You can see that I wrote the RIGHT thing nine times, but none of you congratulated me for it. But you all laughed and criticized me because of one wrong thing I did. The lesson is: The world Will Never Appreciate the good you do a million times, but will Criticize the one wrong thing you do. So don't Get Discouraged! ALWAYS RISE ABOVE ALL   CRITICISM. Don't Look Up to man; look Up to God!
