Broken but
still alive...
I'm alive, and still loving myself,
I love myself, don't judge
me when you see me
broken with a missing
piece inside me,
Don't love me if you
don't like what you see.
I love me, so don't
question my loyalty,
It don't matter if you
see a key in me.
If you can't turn it,
then you can't turn me on,
You can try, but you
need to put your
love In all of this.
Please me, don't tease me,
don't tell me your ready
when you aren't
ready for this mess.
The mess i made,
are my mistakesAnd
the mistakes
I made You can
take it or leave it.
Cause I been left for dead,
I've been dead inside.
But I still know how to fight inside.

(A Plea Song for Leah Sharibu)
If Leah, is a gift of fresh leaves,
Please, give us this gift,
Before the soulless scorching sun,
Harvested by the grotesque hands
Of bosomless savage beasts,
Turns our dear gift of fresh leaves
Into a gift of dried leaves:
President Buhari, we beseech you;
Please gift us with Leah, and the others girl.
--------------------------------
Leah, is the young school girl, who (the so called) bokoharam is still holding in captivity, after releasing the other girls they 'kidnapped' alongside her in Dapchi, Yobe state Nigeria, just because she refused to renounce her christian faith -- and be converted to a muslim. Since February, 2018 -- more than 200 days now, Leah, is still in captivity...

Why is my mind constantly
Searching for you
Every nook and corner in my heart
You left an indelible mark
Which I tried many times
To wipe out in vain
You have become part of my
Life now leaving no room
For anyone, my love
Your charming looks captured my heart at the very first meeting
Under the twilight glow
An evening well spent
Together in love
You went away to another land looking for a job !
I wait for you day and night
In the hope you will be mine
Very soon !
These thoughts are killing me every day losing my sleep every night !
I am ready to embrace you
Leaving the past
Waiting with beautiful flowers
From the garden of my heart !
