Mirror Mirror


I am before a mirror

Smiling back at me is a grown woman
But she has the smile of a five year old,
The mindset of a twelve year old
And maybe the heart of an eight year old.

Naked


Let's get naked.
I will show you mine and you show me yours

Strip myself to the bones and you will see
All the flaws and problems of my being.

The Service Chronicles 41: Okro Soup



It was Ola I called, I have mentioned him before but I didn’t tell us the depth of our relationship. He is just not a friend and at this point I warn that if any of you should attempt to see me in any other way than I really am; which is an angel who knows no evil but enjoys experimenting, I would bring out my pot from under my bed (it is even getting dusty). Don’t ever get that image out of your minds until I tell you so. 

The Service Chronicles 40: Social Menace



I think in this life there should be a written decree that once you and an Ex go separate ways any form of relations should just follow both of you on your separate ways. That may have been possible eon years ago. Devices for instant communication would have been limited to a few powerful people like witches and magical beings. But now we have contraptions like phones and social media. 

The Service Chronicles 39: Workers' Day




You know when you are making a mistake and you just can’t help it, you are enjoying your sin (sin is too strong a word). You are sha just falling in and into the sticky mess of nonsense you are doing. I found myself in such a situation on Monday morning. Lanky was ringing the bell and I saw myself rise form my sleep, but I really didn’t stand up. I honestly couldn’t. The sleep had tied me down, it was when he rang the second bell I stood up. 

The Service Chronicles 38: No Coal



I know I know I know, I shouldn’t be missing church so often but I swear this last time was no fault of mine. This is the third time in an elongating row I didn’t go to church again. The cooking rooster was changed and Jennifer made sure I am not partners with Gbade or any of his friends.

The Service Chronicles 37: The Next Cut





I woke up by seven on Saturday like I had told that doubting Thomas Jennifer girl. Set myself to my hair and loosened it in less than two hours. I have to say my hair is not growing longer but bigger. Koch and Ify (my latest crush, he will kill for this. I love you honey) have started calling Huey from Boondocks (unnecessary exaggeration). I don’t even know what the niggas hair looks like. 

The Service Chronicles 36: Longest Friday





When I woke up on Friday morning I was still seething from what Gbade had said the previous evening. Like immediately I got back in I had to tell Yemi my lover. I was really embarrassed by what he said. 

The Service Chronicles 35: No Zonal Meeting




Thursdays are the worst days of the week for me. I guess it is because nothing ever really happens. It’s my free day at school so I don’t get to go anywhere. Although; last term I had evening lessons on Thursday but that was all.
