SHE WAS A HEAD TURNER

A head turner… that’s who she was
Beauty that flowed from within and found its way out, no sight of flaws
Or so many thought
She had it all going on for her
Extraordinaire background, classic lifestyle, sort-after status
With all this, nothing was bound to go wrong
Or so we thought, since no one sensed the upcoming fracas 

She walked tall
Everyone around knew her, whether great or small
She was a head turner; no one was like her, none at all
Her green eyes flashed before her audience
If you didn’t know her, you’d mistake her image and call it pretense
But she was real, a true figure to behold

She was a head turner, so humble yet so bold
Elegance was written all over her
Right from her glorious long hair, to her feet that sauntered gracefully
Rarely touched the ground due to a spectacular pair that elevated her to an appreciable height
Oh! A head turner, that’s who she was,
That is what we knew her for
Silencing conversations among drooling men
Strutting proudly like a gazelle before a lion’s den
Inscribing inspirations on the hearts of women
Eligible in many men’s criteria of ‘woman of my dreams’, scoring a sure ten over ten

She was it; a head turner
A people lover; never a heart breaker
Wife material to more than one; she was a home maker
Whose would she be?
Many wondered and waited to see
Many approached her; she put them down
But even then, the message remained the same
She was… A head turner

“I can’t have her” one said, “but whoever gets her will be blessed to have her”
“She’s way above my class”, another uttered “why would she be interested in me?”
“Her father,” yet another stated, “He’s the reason why I can’t get to her, but she’d be mine by now”
Everyone had a reason why they wouldn’t be with her

But nobody really knew, the other side of her
A dark side
The dungeon she hid in late at night
The reality of who she was
A side that reflected scars
Scars, that each had nothing but a painful memory
Memories that she wanted to make history
The demons she fought, nobody really had a clue
A big heart she did have, but if only they knew
All she ever wanted was to feel complete
Rise up from the filthy state inside, and back on her feet
She had won, accomplished her mission of achieving greatness

Though truth be told today, she lies among many with this one feature… one called

COVERED NAKEDNESS!

FLOW OR FLOAT?

A lesson I am learning, the older I grow, is that with discovery comes revelation, and revelation does not always soothe. I believe in the slow burn of human connection, not the fleeting flicker of a sprint. I take my time, extending the same patience and grace to others that I give myself in my own process of self-discovery. Sometimes, curiosity bubbles up, a genuine thirst to understand. Other times, my emotional and mental reserves are low, and I'm simply present, observing. But…intrigue me. Nudge the edges of my world with a spark of genuine interest, and you might just pique my curiosity. A "Hmmmm…who is this person?" moment might dawn, and the spotlight of my attention will shift your way. As we forge new connections in life, we are met with a mirror—not always a flattering one—that shows us how much we have changed, and perhaps, how much we still wish to. In that reflection, we see the vastness of who we are and the contradictions we carry. Self-awareness has unlo...

THE WHISPERS BEFORE THE SHOUT

Hey you! 😃 Has anyone checked in on you today? Or better still have YOU checked on you today, or lately? If not, well then this is a reminder to do so; to create time in your schedule to hold your heart, mind, body and soul as an offering to God in prayer and allow it to be searched, comforted, and mended so that you can operate wholly and holy. Quarter one of 2025 is coming to an end; a palpable shift hangs in the air with testimonies within it being starkly different. For some, the journey has been a smooth glide, a serene cruise through calm waters. For others, they are overwhelmed by life having launched into a sprint at the beginning of the year; and now, they are finding themselves breathless amidst a landscape of boundless potential. I discovered something interesting lately; while many of us are knowledgeable of the truth and necessity of slowing down, there is a fear and guilt attached to this God ordained activity called rest. We are afraid to rest because we fear that if we...

The "WHAT ABOUT ME" ERA

Happy New Year—or maybe a better greeting is, You made it! It’s been an eternity since I last did this, weaving thoughts into sentences. Back then, it was pen and paper; today, it’s keys and screens. The act of writing itself feels like a resurrection. My writing process for the hiatus period has been a messy one of delay, distraction, overthinking, and an impressive dedication to avoidance. Not encouraging terms for the beginning of the year ey? True, but the awareness of it is the start in the right direction if you ask me. 2024 had been a year of relentless demands, stretching me thin in every direction. I constantly felt like I was chasing an elusive "enough," a feeling that left me perpetually unsettled and plagued by the insidious whispers of inadequacy. "I don't know," became my frequent refrain, a mantra of self-doubt that clung to me like a shadow. Yet, as I sat down to evaluate the year, a profound realisation dawned: I had pushed myself beyond my per...
