Who is Oluwaferanmi Ayeni?

By
My name is AYENI Oluwaferanmi. I'm a 14 year old. And although I'm in the science-tech field of study, I've discovered an undeniable passion for writing. It didn't take much to decide that's what I wanted to do. I have two self published e-books on the platform, Wattpad. 


*WHY? THE CHRISTIANS ASK....*

Why?
Why is it so lonely
When one tries to be holy 
And to be in one accord
With the Almighty God

Why?
Why do we face persecution
All in the name of our religion
Many are the forces of oppression
Sent to bring us down to depression

Why?
Why have we come this far 
And have not broken down like a faulty car
Only with faith can we keep up this pace 
While we run this strenuous race.

*SOLITUDE*

I sit in a corner
My thoughts, my only companion
I hear the giggles laced with familiarity
Variations in tone blending in blissful orchestration 
My heart aches because I'm the lost one

Walking past, 
I see arms thrown over necks
Voices raised in excitement 
Gist of old, their conversation
My heart breaks because I'm the odd one

I stand and wait
Patiently craving
For someone to discover me
To recognize me, to acknowledge my presence
But as always, 
my heart bleeds because I'm left the lonely one.
*DISGUISED*

Normal is what they call me
Normal is what I wish I could be
My soul cries out in despair for salvation
From the soul eating, heart wrenching depression
That threatens to swallow me whole
Leaving an empty vessel bare of light to console
My cries are muted by the volume of my fake laughter
Laughter that I wish ran deeper
The pain and heartache from within
Painted where my smile begins.


*LOSS STINGS*

O death where is thy sting?
The Bible says, the psalmist sings
The hole, vacuum, the emptiness,
that fills me up to brim is my witness
Loss eats.

O death where is thy sting?
Permit me say, in the ache it brings.
Only now do I understand,
that indeed where I stand,
Loss aches.

Hard that I say this now
Hard to admit but to this pain I bow
Hard to have broken every vow
Hard to have kept it up till now 
But truly,
Loss stings.

AYENI Oluwaferanmi realised she wanted to do this more than just as a hobby. She writes almost anything. From poems to short stories to even novels. Fiction is bliss! With much hope and determination, she's really ready to leap right through any open door.

what does it mean to be a Boss lady?

By
Do you know what it takes to be a powerful and confident boss lady?  By: Bukunola Jayeola #1: self confidence. A boss lady is an ambitious and talented woman whose decisions can impact not just her but others. You don’t need to be the prettiest, smartest or wiseist person in the room, but if you act confident, you’ll be perceived as embodying all three. #2: Be so sure in yourself and who you are.  Be sure of yourself that no one can steer you away from that. The more you move and create change, the more people will push back. #3: Be ready for criticism .  Don’t listen to the haters because after all, they’ll just keep hating and tongue lashing you. I want you to know that either good or bad someone out there will say something about you. The best thing is for you to stay on your Lane and keep going on your track. #4: Be determined . Determination keeps you focused and is the key to becoming successful in one's endeavors. #5: Find y
