*IFEOLUWA'S STORY*
If I had known the decision of a day can ruin a lot of things, I wouldn't have embarked on the journey.
Moreover, I did not know what I was thinking. The race of making it, lead me to the wrong path. I have always admired to be a poetess. The way the rhyme's of a poem is always looking classic, meaningful and captivating but I didn't have any rhyme's or idea about it.
I started creating my own rhyme's but it wasn't what I expected and the response I got from people was derailing. My dreams got blurry yet, I still want to be a poetess.
So, I thought browsing online and changing the words of some poem could help but it didn't. I could not form my own rhyme's and I ended up copying and pasting every poems I came across. Changing little words and putting my name beneath.
Yes, I started having the views, likes, comments. I felt on top of the world and my perspective about something's began to change. I became lazy to create mine since I know the way. My dreams are finally coming through and I was getting the result but deeply within, I was scared not to get caught.
My fears came to pass when one of my readers had to tell someone close to me that she has read the poem somewhere and it wasn't my writings. I became scared because my plans were already interrupted and I was caught. I thought I could wave it and continue until few people accused me of plagiarism.
I failed those close to me, my people and those that look up to me. Help me what can I do? I thought I can show the people because of their words and action. I thought I can show them I can be more than they think.
To every Ifeoluwa's
You could have attend some poet classes, work on yourself, believe in yourself and keep working till you become more than you have visioned.
Sieve the words of people. Don't make people words and action lead you to take the wrong step. For anyone that want to progress in life. Watch out who you listen to, work on how you receive people's word and know yourself.
People might talk down on who you are, what you do, what you believe in, etc. Also other can congratulate you with eye service not with a sincere heart. So this life, people will say things to you either good or bad. That shows that we have people with different mindset, mentality, etc
Be sensitive to the communication of people, know the voice that works for you. Know yourself, know what God is saying at every moment/stage of your life.
Go for your dreams, vision. Learn something's about it and start doing them. Work on yourself to became better version of you. Stop faking things, stop copying, be real and let people know you for who you are.
God bless you!
