I am running away from a lot of things;I am running away from you.My inner demons won’t let me be.When I see you again,I won’t run,I will tell you about these demons.They are asking me if I want to be happy,They are asking me if I want to be free,They are asking me a lot of questions I can’t answer,And I don’t know if I will ever be able to answer.These demons have taken a bigger part of me,These…

It has been two months since Memuna and I broke up, and I can’t bring myself to fathom the reason why we are going our separate ways. What about all those promises? What about the moments we shared together? The weekend beach strolls, the Friday night live band treat at 7 Heavens, and the get-to-know-each-other’s-family thing our friends proposed. What happened to us? How am I telling my friends…

I have learnt my lessons,Gathered my wins and losses.In despair and hopelessness,I crawl back into the shadows,Yet, I can’t hide myself away from you.Droplets of your memories greet me as I pass by. Oh, hold onto me,My long-gone forsaken love,For my heart burns like the furnace,My eyes are swollen and sulky,My thoughts are like scrambled eggs.Oh, pull me from the shadows, mi amor,Te extraño…

From T-Bag to Scofield: Navigating Workplace Personalities.

A look at each character in the workplace of prison break. This is entirely based on my opinion. T-Bag (Theodore Bagwell) doesn’t mind sacrificing his whole team for the top position. He is not an ideal team player and is not reliable. This employee usually obtains incriminating information about leaders or people in authority and blackmails them with it, hence you would find him in rooms you…

Of all the demons,You are my favorite,You whispered into my earsYour sweet and cunning words.At least, that is what others do call your words that melted my soul.I’m here reminiscing all the times we have been together,How you gave me a safe placeWhen the church threw me out,When you accepted me for who I wasAnd fought my little battles with meOh how good but just a memory you are now. Little…

With love, I do this,Let God’s will be done.Has been my favourite quote ever since I met you,Hoping one day, I would profess my love to you,And here we again,Nature blessing me with this opportunityThat I prayed and yearned so much for,So much that I forget myself in the momentsWhenever I am with you.Spare me this moment and let me rejoice,For I cannot hide my joy as I speak these words to…

I am writing this episode now or never,I may not get the luxury of coming back here to bid you farewell,But as you read this,May your thoughts not be far away from me.Just maybe I have asked for much,But then memories, no matter what we do,Never fade away.Blame Snapchat and Facebook for all these dilemma.I didn’t want to be in this situation in the first place,Neither to talk of writing my…

My child, I chose to put down these words so you know life is not a fairytale. To every idea, there is an opposing view which gives you the room to think outside the box. I don’t mind if you think differently, but never switch out of the focus zone. You’ve got something they don’t have; something that makes you different from them. Don’t forget to still be you! The journey isn’t going to be…

I was scared, I had to run and hide, I had to conceal myself away, And I had to put myself in the dark spaces, In my mind, I saw this as a game. I was scared that this is another trick. I have been there before, I could feel the shiver through my spine, This is another story, With no glory. But then again hope, despair, thoughtless minds, You have come crawling into my arms, Asking me…

Sometimes it pains me to think of God,Because when I think of Him,I see someone who could heal simply by saying “be healed”Yet I’m still here running in circles.It baffles me that He watches on!Maybe I am just another Job, maybe I am notBecause I wonder what He is up to, The heavens remain silent.This angers and disappoints me.I thought Jesus said He was carrying us through all thisBut how can I…

Enthroned in silence, I strive to voice the ineffable,A quest to unveil the veiled, in whispers not yet audible,Hoping the words would gallop out of my mind like a chariot of fire,To tell about something I feel in my bones, and which can be experienced in those bones,But my thoughts fail me when I need it the most to comb through and search me,I tell people I’m busy not in a way people…

I need to write a story to talk about us, At least, a long prose to let people know about what we had  But charley, this is not the time for us to lament over our losses  It is long overdue, and it is long time gone but charley what we go do  You left me in the streets of Lapaz Charley eno be my fault sey we no be together But this is it,  This is the little piece I have put…

Ghost in the Shadows

Ama RoseThe world had its uncertainties,I had mine,One I wasn’t sure of letting go,Not even for a second or single dime… AGBYet, the pains it came along with,I was told was to make me strong,But here I am,Like I am performing a pantomime. Ama RoseI stand stranded but with company,I feel loved but with pieces of brokenness,I am here but I am there,And in all directions my heart beats,I’m…

OHEMAA I have always wanted to say Yes. I always knew you were my happy place. Dreams. Wishes. Love. Have always held you close with prayer, Raising our kids in our happy home.

AGB Late-night musings, And it’s just you galloping through my thoughts. If wishes were horses indeed, I would have you all for myself. Tell me what you need me to do…

I I am a Ghanaian Boy Stuck to my ideologies and my way of thinking, Left alone in my inner room just to meditate on my own. Where I come from, My people see me as no part of them. I was raised in a home where they told me, I was the breadwinner of the house, But as I grew up, It dawned on me I am just a menace, In the eyes of the masses. Cos much is not expected from…

I told you June has no sympathy, But yet you doubted me, You took my flaws for another’s flaw, Because you treated me like a rag on the floor. Let me tell you a short story, I met April, I confessed my feelings to April And April agreed to it, Telling me how much she felt about me too.

For June, I faulted a little, But it said to me wait, twɛn nan wo be hunu Me na me te ha na me…
