Happy New Year!

Hello Readers!

 Happy New Year! Be Blessed and Never Stress!! -

This year I'll hopefully be releasing two poems a month - resolutions as I am starting a reading challenge on English Literature and try to feed back my reading in a poetic form! plus still more poems about Love,self-worth and confidence!

 MWAH

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Good Cheer to all the readers of my blog!

 I just want to thank you all for the time you have all taken to read and digest my blog! Anyway to celebrate Christmas! I decided to quote from one of the BEST Christmas movies( as I have taken the time to watch it twice in a week) - "How the Grinch stole Christmas"

 “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”

"Don't forget the Grinch. I know he's mean and hairy and smelly. His hands might be cold and clammy, but I think he's actually kinda... sweet."

"Dr.Seuss, How the Grinch stole Christmas"

Remember those who are less fortunate during this period!

Love

Hello happy new month!!

2013 is almost over how quick did that go!

This month features my latest poem that actually talks about 'loving yourself' as women how often do we hear this from men and our friends?

It's up to interpretation as I am only presenting some ideas 

But the inspiration of this poem came from two places:

 1. Recently I was told " love yourself else someone won't love you" as helpful and supportive that was - I realised it was just saying "men like confidence and women that love themselves" so it was almost a means to and end to be in a relationship! When we should love ourselves genuinely 

2. Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness all shall come with! -Look inside and realise that you women are above rubies and Gold and once you recognise and love yourself thouroughly people you never expected will come into your life

However , if you do not agree with the reasons above THAT is perfectly fine! A friend recently disagreed with my interpretation and that too made me think😘

.....

Thank you to all the readers of my blog

And all my super super super confident friends ❤️

Love yourself

So easy to say

Thinking about this morning,noon and day

It's becoming stressful

For goodness sake I'm full

Tired of the motivational speaker

Doesn't make me stronger just weaker

They can tell you to love 

And rise above

The heck you mean

Please tell me this is a dream

Tired of the advice 

Telling me to know my price

Why do I need to love myself ?

Especially to herself

Will she be left on the shelf?

What about himself?

Or let's make it oneself 

Tell me of the benefits

Not the fact she'll finish -

Last

Before her time has past.

November Love

Hello November bunnies! This AMAZING poem is by the wonderful and oh so beautiful Bisi! Her poem from my perspective illustrates the frustration of society's take on a "good" typical female! she believes that society need to stop this basic and suppressive view on women and start thinking outside the box!!

 My number one favourite stanza was 

"You see, primary socialisation and the cultivation of this civilisation 

have led to the formulation of this good girl identification that’s caused my frustration."

What's yours?

Frustrations of a Good Girl (Part 1) - Bisi Akindayini

Hello, I am the good girl! 
What does this mean? You may ask. 
Well that’s exactly what I am about to unmask. 

Loyal. Charismatic. Funny. Beauty. 
Intelligent and Independent. 
I clean. I care. I even cook. 
That’s a pretty alright look, which many people tend to overlook, but without question… 
Compulsory I undertook. 

You see, primary socialisation and the cultivation of this civilisation 
have led to the formulation of this good girl identification that’s caused my frustration. 

Frustration? Yes frustration!! 
It’s because this specification, is a total violation, 
that needs elimination due to society’s reformation. 

Like for-real NO FORNICATION? 
That practically eliminates the entire congregation
