Today, Tomorrow's Yesterday.

*Today, Tomorrow's Yesterday*

People mostly talk of those nights, hardly do I ever hear them talk about those days. Days like this, days after long hours of working yourself out and have to be contented sleeping without really talking to the people you keep in touch  with on a daily.

Days like yesterday, where you had to leave them on unread just because you promised that the first blue tick was the last one. People hardly talk these days, you get the type of days am talking about?

What is a day? How can 24 hours of the involuntary  earth rotation on its own axis make life so difficult? Ever thought of that? I bet it, but all were waiting for me to write about so that you all can call me a confused lines man.

Okay, call me whatever you like but lets talk of yesterday, today and the day after tomorrow. Yesterday is the past, so I wont dwell to much on it lest you accuse me of clinging to much to the past.
Yesterday dictates how today will be. Its only Yesterday that gives you the opportunity to be someone better tomorrow.

Imagine life without Yesterday, how boring and uneventful would it be? Yesterday you gave her your number hoping that she will text when you get home. Yesterday you realised that not everybody that smiles with you is for you, Thanks to Yesterday you knew that some of these beautiful smiles are fake.

Yeah, I know I put fake and beautiful in once sentence and please try not to disagree or else I will have to tell them what you did Yesterday.

And if you thought I forget quickly, today is that day. That day when I have to keep up with all that I want to be tomorrow, So today I will write, not because I want but because tomorrow promises me of being a better writer. You don't agree with me? See what I wrote Yesterday and compare with that that I will write tomorrow.

Why cry today if you could tomorrow? Why fall in love Yesterday yet we got today? Why say lets meet tomorrow God willing yet we have now? Why curse your yesterday yet you can improve today?

So many questions today, got me confused about tomorrow, why didn't I ask myself all these yesterday? You have been at this point too.
Where time makes no sense, and the only day that seems to matter is your birthday. Before you give up, ask yourself if there was no Yesterday, would your birthday still be tomorrow?

We tend to hold ourselves back, clinging  onto things that matter no more. Its high time we have to accept that some songs only last a day, yet some have the recency of tomorrow. Its up to you to chose which tune you want to dance along to. But always keep in mind this question
"Now that today will be yesterday tomorrow, what will tomorrow bring?"

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway...

Dont cry when am gone

* Don't cry when am gone * Enough with the tears, Keeping your eyes wet wont help Forgive me for being too insensitive but trust me no man is worth your salty tears No man is allowed to hold your thoughts captive Asking yourself, why you? I am not telling you this because I want you I am not telling you this because I care I am telling you this because at some point I will break your heart I am telling you this because You say all men are dogs and that I am no exception I am telling you this, to sound as a warning Not to cry for me when am gone Do not break down when I break your heart You are too weak to handle two broken pieces I guess that is why you keep falling in love with any man who promises you a happy time. I want to promise you some few things One, Let me guarantee you no guarantees Let me promise no promises That's all I can promise Because Because I hate it when women cry over we men In the spirit of feminism, I hear you lie to yourself that w...

WHAT DO YOU WAKE UP TO?

It is Eight in the morning, the clouds envious of the sun's shine. They cover the sky forcing a false chill on what should be a bright morning. Being the type of people who visit  Twitter before confirming that they can breath, I log into the bird app and a " what do you wake up to" tweet welcomes me. Should I tell them that I wake up to their tweets? In the age of Amerix's Four Bs, it is wrong. So I won't. I look around, searching for inspiration to aid me in the reply. I wake up to nothing new, the air smells like yesterday.  I wake up to almost silent dawns. Cock crows punctuating the rather peaceful early mornings. I wake up to chicken flapping their wings, with a hope that they will fly higher than yesterday. I wake up to new blessings.  I wake up to battery low warnings, and data depletion messages with my phone acting as the blanket, resting on my chest. I wake up to news that I was blocked, just because I drifted to slumber before replying to her messages....
