"THE ONE"

Everyone had left
so I waited around pretending to be busy
so you would notice me
but sadly,you never did
so I started a conversation
hoping you would flow
but you gave me my typical kind of response
I kept being the talker and listener hoping I don't screw up
then suddenly,you needed to leave.

Then I met you again
hoping you would remember we started a relationship
wishing I could at least be your "Hy friend"
but you acted just like I would
you also believed the same thing I did
that simply because we spoke doesn't make us friends
it only meant we spoke to each other.

But I tried
at least I felt I did.
I waved and smiled
something I find weird doing
but you just waved strangely
and my heart went in search of my soul
because my soul had to find a secret place to weep
from shame


For some seconds I touched happiness
when it seemed like fate was suddenly by my side
I fell again when my hostel was blocks away from yours
I crashed when we had combined classes
but I knew I just lost you when my friend introduced you to me
as her friend
I saw the innocence in her eyes
and the fantasy she had imagined with you.

And we both acted
like our scripts was perfectly written
by one who never had an idea of how sad 
It was for me to play my role
cause somewhere along the line
I loved you
but that wasn't necessary anymore
cause my friend had to be happy.

I owed her that
because she had no idea of the drama that was showing
even when she was a part of the cast
so we acted like we never met even when we both knew
something had gone wrong somewhere
and it had to remain that way
for our role to  be perfectly played.

Dear Emmy in 2020

My Identity Crisis

  Oh, hello This is uum kind of awkward. You would think after doing this for so many years, I would be so courageous and confident to stand before a crowd. It's almost like every event I'm invited for,is a chance to stand on the stage again for the very first time.  Somehow I believe that's the beauty of it all, the nervousness, excitement, the adrenaline spike that rushes through my body helping me prepare so I don't get so comfortable in my God-given abilities and slip up. Well, as some of you may know My name is Emediong Francis Udoudoh and I wear many hats but for this event, I choose to wear my green public speaking hat. Can I have a seat please? I hope that's fine yea, okay I think I would be more comfortable if I assume the friendly kind of vibe position. Thank you very much. So, as I was saying my self and my green hat we want to talk you today about identity. As many of you may know, I am the founder of Dimensionsofgold conglomerate but what you don't ...

Dear Men

Dear men, Scratch that . Dear society, you know; never mind. I keep saying I want to have just boys because I want to teach them that being a guy isn't so much of a big deal,we all got blood running through our veins. When I listen to some guys speak it gets me annoyed,confused and a whole rush of different emotions I can't put into words. A woman speaks up for herself and she is labeled aggressive. Read the reason I left Feminism A woman tells you this is what she can put up with and y'all say she got an attitude that would lead her no where.  Well, I don't want to go no where with you and that mentality. When a guy does any of this some how the word personality appears in the dictionary and everyone goes on and on saying thats just his personality,"Its a masculine thing". Well, you are damn right it's a feminine thing that i won't put up with any thing you believe a woman should put up with simply because she is a woman and if it takes m...

On Being A Feminist

The other day I was privileged to attend an event, it wasn't necessarily a church program but it centered around Christianity and women. So of course the guest speakers would be women but one was particularly very interesting. This lady  went on and on about how Christian women should act, which I agreed for the most part and learnt new  things. However, she took me aback with a particular statement she made "you can't be a Christian and a feminist". She went ahead to attempt to back up her claim by saying "feminism is a cult group". At this point the only thing I could utter was Hmmm, wahala dey o. I immediately had to google the meaning of feminism and right after I searched for misandry. I know there has been a lot of attack on people who identify as a feminists but this was the first time I heard "...you can't be both a Christian and a feminist". I had a lot of questions as you might have guessed. I honestly just wanted to understand where ...
