You’re close yet so far away
I can tell something is wrong
but you haven’t said anything
talk to me, tell me what’s on your mind
You can trust me with your problems
because they’re my problems too
but if you don’t share, then I can’t help
talk to me, tell me what’s bugging you
You’re acting up
and it’s causing an unnecessary rift between us
all I need is for you to talk to me
talk to me, let me help you make it better

I started this blog in March 2017 as a self-discovery space, and over the past eight years, it has grown into a home for everything that moves me and hopefully, something that moves you too. Here, you will find poetry, reflections, travel stories, lifestyle pieces, motivation, inspiration and Lagos restaurant reviews all written with honesty and heart. Enjoy!
