The Reason Why
John's older brother couldn't just understand why John was so slow in walking, reacting, talking and even breathing. At every given opportunity, a slapped pounced on John's face by his older brother till John couldn't stare at his face no more.
Today, John looks no one in the eye.
Never does.
He would always shy away.
Today, I heard Fiona say, "I can't understand how someone can be so shy. It's shocking to see a Man who can't look people in the eye"
If Only Fiona knew...
Yemi was 10, with little buds for breasts.
Everything was perfect until uncle Prosper came visiting.
Uncle prosper was dutiful and handy, and so, was assigned to pick Yemi from school and stay with her till they got back from work.
As you imagined, Uncle Prosper touched Yemi Five ways from Sunday till Yemi gained a love for it and continued so.
Yemi is 22 now and has lost body count.
She stays awake all night to think
To think about just why she has such a weakness for sex.
One boy then another and another, leaving her utterly alone.
To the boys, do they care? She's just another free meal, everyone can go and get their share. They don't even care to know Why
"You know you're very ugly sha, I don't know why you're looking at the mirror"
These words were unforgettable to Sandra.
How could a mother tell her Daughter this? Sandra thinks as she continues to look into her mirror now and into every object capable of making a reflection.
To every car window, bank's glass and side mirrors, you will find Sandra looking, just to be sure one more time that she has blossomed and proved her Mom wrong.
I know that insecurity has an ugly face and a bitter taste but it doesn't fall from the sky. There's always a story behind every insecurity and time too many, we are too in a hurry to either judge or conclude.
To every,"how can someone be this way" , know that there's a reason why.
I'm not preaching that people should bask in insecurity. No no no, far from it.
I'm saying nobody wants to be insecure, some people just are for a reason or the other, and instead of spiting, we should understand and encourage.
To people who have accepted their ugly; folks who are well aware that they are insecure in more ways than one. The lingering question is how can someone end being insecure?
My answer is Knowledge.
Yes, knowledge is power.
What knowledge could this be? It is the knowledge of self: In knowing how you work that explains why you act the way you do and curbs the eccentricities.
