This is pain

This is pain


Pain is something unbearable 
It’s something terrible 
It’s something not shareable 
Once it gets to you
It doesn’t go away easily 
It is not peaceful 
It’s pain 
Pain is pin
It’s gives your head a spin

It hides in silence 
Steals your smile
Makes you unhappy 
Leaves you stranded 
Sometimes you don’t understand your feelings 
Even your brain stops functioning 
Because it’s pain

People often ask “are you okay?”
You say you are
But pain has turned you to a liar
Too heavy to say how you feel

But you wake everyday with a little hope,
That things will get better 
You see sign that there is indeed light at every tunnel 
But when will it get to the end of the tunnel 
The journey seems so long 
My hope now finds pain 
And maybe indeed it will get better.

What if that door closing is going to be the best thing to happen to you, what if that chapter closing opens you up to the best chapter of your life, the page ending is ending critical challenges.  Every now and then, change is inevitable and guess who else just closed a chapter!!!  Drum rolls please!!! It is Lead City Voices- the voice for change in Lead City University. Just as the 2024/2025 academic session came to a close, so did an era in Lead City Voices. The highly anticipated hand-over ceremony took place on the 10th July, 2025. It was of course bubbling with laughter, memories, a lot of intellect shared and more that only those who were present can attest to that.  Of course the Lead City V...

Celebrating girls

Friday was national girlfriend's day and Sunday was apparently national sister's day. Who honestly knows when all these days started coming into play? But what's important is the celebration of women in our lives. Female friendships are often overlooked, insulted, claiming women are problematic, stressful, take things too seriously just because they care about their friendships enough to put emotions into it.  Seeing people celebrate females they have relationships with, either: platonic, romantic or even familial, it brings joy to the heart and keeps hope in society. And to the tea, trust the gossip mill to have kept running,the weary eyes were out; watching for the deliveries, the money bouquets, the roses and the posts. We saw you all. To all the singles and singlets, our sincere sympathies 😂😂 and to the understanding girlfriends even more sympathy graced to you.  This is to the girlies, the girlfriends and the sister. Happy girlfriends' day🥂, you are...
