………..AS THE DAYS ROLL BY
AS THE DAYS ROLL BY, I bow my heads in shame and look up to the sky to feel a reassurance within my soul that I am living a fulfilled life but I find none because I am busy living a life of photocopy. I like to compare myself with others and I have lived a life of buts and ifs. I have allowed my mistakes to hold me down and leave me lying helpless on the floor and my pasts are painted on a canvas that mock wherever I turn too. I feel broken and shattered with nothing going right in my life.

AS THE DAYS ROLL BY, I stand in front of my calendar counting the days for my anguish and guilts to subside. With an heavy lidded eye, I scan through my calendar and I feel my heart beating heavily as I remember my hearing in court draws near and I would soon be found guilty for man slaughter. I thought to myself that I am not guilty because I was only defending myself from that evil man.
Story by Shalom Adedeji
With tears in my eyes, I realized I won't be in this mess if I had just being my true lively self. Despite being poor, I could have had a better life than this. I have made my mistakes and I have learnt through sheer torment the benefit of being "YOU"
Story by Shalom Adedeji
BE YOU, BE AUTHENTICALLY YOU
Don't let the gossips and murmurings of others affect you.
Don't be Affected by the hatred of others.
Be an Eagle, Be Regal
Be an Ant, Be hardworking
Be a Lion, Be a King
Be a visionary leader
Be a Conqueror
Don't compare yourself with others because someone out there needs you to be the real "YOU"
You are alive to put a smile in someone face
You are valued by a person out there.
Don't shed off your wings when the storm rages
Be Uniquely "YOU"
And you will see AS THE DAYS ROLL BY, YOU WILL BE A CONQUEROR
AS THE DAYS ROLL BY, YOU WILL BE A WINNER.
