music is my life
poetry is my wife
nature is my friend
art is my alibi
and fame is my princess
this are my family and family
you say this things are abstract
what about people? human friends?
I replied and said " I don't know what that means"
people don't get me
they only around when they need you
and if you have nothing to offer, then you would be left alone
my so called abstract thoughts are my family
they where there when I was born and they are going to be there when I die- Banji coker

Everybody

Everybody says that the most important thing to them is family, friends and god
they say that family is important but they don't know how to show love
they ay their friends are important but they are selfish, ungrateful and self centred
they say that god is important but we don't  take god important because most of us don't know who he is or what he stands for
we have lost sight of what is important
Everyone is searching for someone who loves and have their backs
we all shout "only real friends, fuck fake friends"
the real question  that we fail to ask our selves is that
"I'm I someone's true friend or am I just fake?"
who is deceiving who?- Banji Coker

who am i?

I am an heart breaker
I am broken hearted
I am a sinner
I am a believer
I am a messiah
I am here to save them with my words
they say that love is dead
so it is my mission to resurrect it from hell
I am determined to be a good person in this bad world, to spread love
but then I feel like I am looking for something that is not there
trying to help people that don't care
I am fighting a lost course
I feel like I am wasting my time
maybe there is no such thing as love
that love is just an idea I have in my head
but I refuse to believe that I have been living a lie
I am at war with my reality
I don't know what to believe
I just need someone to tell me its okay
who am I?
my name is naïve - Banji Coker

sell out

My soul is on some sell out shit

about this girl that I came to meet

in a world of hate, darkness and sadness

in a world full of thorns, a flower grew and bloomed

at first I couldn't trust it

but I couldn't stop myself from wanting it

you are the light in the dark

the only colourful thing in this colourless world

and you might not be good for my health

but I better die by love than to die by hate

am not a firm believer of valentines day

because I thing you deserve your own holiday- Banji Coker

why am i different

   

            I was born like everybody else
            But why am I different?
            soak in the same sun heat as everyone else
            but why do I feel different?
            live in the same environment as everyone else
            but why do I think differently?
            in the same school as everybody
            why do I think differently?
            they say that the stars shine bright at night
            but why is it that anytime I look up, the stars lights are dim?
            they say the sky is blue, but all I see is grey
            maybe I was just born at the wrong place, the wrong time and among the wrong people
            because no matter how hard I try, I don't seem to fit in - Banji Coker

what they call us

      We are called the sadist, the hopeless romantics, the depressed , the loners
       they look at us though we know nothing,
       we don't know how to have fun
       we are too emotional
       but we smile the brightest
       we laugh the hardest
      we try to make everyone around us happy
     but we are taken for granted .
      we pity them
      because they are blinded to what the world really is
    A place where someone else pain is another's happiness
    A place where the word love as lost its importance and meaning
    we spend our time wondering why?
    And we try and feel we can change the world by spreading love to one person at a time
    why are we sad and depressed you say?
    its because we have made it our lives mission to make others feel loved
   but at the end of the day no one loves us- Banji coker

school stress

 

 Stress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical or mental equilibrium. In other words, it's an omnipresent part of life. A stressful event can trigger the “fight-or-flight” response, causing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to surge through the body.
          there said learning is supposed to fun, but that's not the case here. we are being bombarded with work. they said they are building us for the future,  personally I think they are taking out their frustration on us(the situation of the country is hard), and they have the opportunity to express their power, since we came to learn and they have the power to determine if we graduate or not, they are determined to make us suffer for knowledge(its supposed to be fun remember). but then we  are not in kindergarten anymore. "but if god got us we gon be alright"
