Life With Dolapo

  If you see me out today Don’t just walk past  I need a hug  And that might just be  All the difference my day needs. Yes, I have a smile plastered on my face  Yes, I look stunning in my red corporate dress Yes, I’ve had my favorite cereal this morning  Even so, I might smell like the beautiful delicate flowers you’ve only gotten to read about in books  Or see in videos Yet my mind is in disarray  And the clouds are gathering  for what might be a thunderstorm in my head.  I need a reminder to step out of my mind's grasp.  And a hug might do just that. Beware, I might also let down  The oceans of tears Just in case you want to rethink that hug  Lol Ifedolapo

  I gave my heart  But it wasn’t a match  Heart wrenching pain Flowed through my veins  Now I’m never the same  Cause there’s a vacuum in here And nothing is fitting in there. You came and left  Cold and alone  Dejected to pick up the pieces again Yet numb to the joys once before. How am I ever to feel the same  The only crime I’ve committed  Giving my heart  But if I’m given the chance  I’ll probably give it all over again  But this is goodbye  The final of many.

  I tried to convince myself otherwise  About love  That love indeed isn’t as beautiful as they say  But as ugly as it gets  And I failed miserably in the face of love. Oh boy, I’m glad I did! Because what is life without love? Life without colors  Life without hope. Ifedolapo

Hope is the reassurance of light at the end of the dark tunnel The red rose sprouting in white snow  Shelter and warmth in the storms  An oasis in the desert Food in a famine Calm in chaos  A friend in the midst of trouble Hope is everything better in this world. Life without hope is bleak. So I choose each day  To have faith  That there’s always hope  Lurking in corners  Waiting to be found. Ifedolapo

  God I’m not delusional right? Who and Where I want to be Seem a lifetime away  How am I going to cover focused ground  In this life you’ve given me ? I know you ask me not to worry  But sometimes I forget not to  I magnify the how, when and what  I revel in my worry  Swim in my tears  Drown in my sadness There’s just so much to do  And it seems very little time is left between me trying to figure things out and actually doing it  A lot of times, I’m unraveling   I know for a fact the possibilities are endless with you  Hence my greatest fear is being less than I can be with you  I just can’t be anything less than I can be with you  Help me to be continually yielded  For pruning and growing  For waiting and trusting  And when it seems like I’ve come to the end of myself  Let your strength course through me to displace every weakness  And Lord please  Let your peace be my covering.

  Hi,  I’ve a few thoughts to share❤️ In the journey of finding, understanding and becoming the full version of self, sometimes you get lost contrary to the very aim of starting the journey.  Other times you take a PAUSE because the journey in itself is like climbing up a hill with unending stairs. Stairs that distances you from the very top where you want nothing more than to stand tall and proud because you did it, you endured it all. Those times are okay too. It’s absolutely alright to pause, you pause to play not stop.  Maybe you’ve attained the height for which you once set, that’s wonderful, you deserve your flowers. But my dear, there’s more! More to be seen, done, heard and savored. Like my friend Pelumi says, “The best is yet to come” So,  Take your rest and press on! Don’t know where or what to next, need a sense of direction? fret not, there’s one who who knows the way and points it. You need only just ask Him, you need ask Jesus , that’s what I do. ...
