POETRY TALENT - U14MD A.B.U ZARIA - HAJARA TOM

One hundred and thirteen
BarakAllahu feena
Of beautiful minds as a team
Destined to be winners
By The Almighty’s leave
In this trade of our dream

We were gathered here as strangers
But became like birds of one feather
Yearning to flock forever together
Strung by bonds like that of brothers
And the compassion of two merry sisters

Beneath the cover of red and blue theatres
We learnt to let go of our rifts and differences
We sought and found a common ground
And learnt the joy of moving as one

We created true friendships
And unwavering loyalties
Perhaps future relationships
And many inexplicable bonds we will forever cherish

We learnt to give our time to one another
And our smiles to those that lost theirs
We consoled each other
That things will get better
And we're all in this united, together

And you our leader
Have been a friend, a guide and a ladder
For you is a prayer for all the best life has to offer


May we all be together
Next year and thither
My favourite hundred and thirteen

Heartbreak - Mustapha TK

*Heartbreak*

That inexplicable feeling you get. You want to die because you're not worth living. As useless as the terms and conditions. Are you invisible? Not worthy of love? After all you've done, that's what you get in the end. They say everything that has a beginning has an end. But this end makes it feel like "no more ends".

But slowly, by God's design. No condition is permanent. The box you put your self in cracks the way your heart did and light pours into you and fills up the void left there. Slow, but it'll happen. Things have color again. Food tastes nice again. Talking to people feels normal now. All because of the friends that stayed. The new people that wanted to know you.

But alas. Just the way a broken glass tells a story when put back together, just like wounds heal but leave a scar, so shall the cracks on your heart be. Dented by the terrible emotions. Frail and fragile from the war.

But life has it in such a way that every end, is the beginning of a new story.

Love - Mustapha TK

*Love*

A very strong emotion that can't be explained. You see examples of it everyday. But you still can't define it. Love is when hearing a voice makes you smile no matter how sad or depressed you're feeling. Love is when you'll sacrifice something you want soo much so that you'll see that person beam in happiness. Love is scolding your children so they grow up right. Love is being in pain when pain strikes another. Love is never wanting to disappoint that person.

Emotions speak louder than words... But love stands above them all. With love you can overcome all the hardship life throws at you. You can blossom from a bud to a forest. You can challenge anything with no fear of failing... Because, you have Love to fall back on.
