Everyday Corona stories





Patrice ! Ade is sick o ! He’s having cough. Are you serious! replied another voice. Ade ! don’t touch me ! I said don’t touch me pls ! The sound mixed with fear and anger could not let me concentrate on writing the essay I needed for my summer internship.
     On the morning of that same day, the 20th of March 2020, we were mandated to attend  the orientation of Coronavirus organized by village du Benin Togo. And also one must wash his hands with the provided soap and water in the school compound  before you can be allowed in class. The orientation was held in the hall with not more than 100 students per barge. The first barge ended with the installation of fear and extra carefulness in us and we washed our hands according to what we were taught in the hall by the school nurse before we left the school environment.
      I was still on the summer internship application when news was brought to us that school has shutdown till further notice and our exams will not commence as planned, the Nigeria boarder has been closed ; A very good friend of mine that just lost her uncle had to stay back and some students who planned on travelling to Nigeria had to stay back also. It did not just affect Nigerian students. Ghanaian students were also not permitted to come into the country by their government. Churches and mosques had to close also. Everyone has to stay safe.
     Some say “Coronavirus cannot survive in a hot region” others “it was a created virus” Everyone with a different point of view but the most important thing is that we believe that this virus will “come and pass” it’s just a matter of time!

Ambitions

   Almost everyone dreams of something while growing up. We all have ambitions when we are little, which change as we grow up. Ambitions lead us to a definite aim in life. Furthermore, they help us focus on our goal no matter the cost. It drives us to do better in life and aim for the Stars . Ambitions differ from one person to another.    However, one common thing that we usually face is that over time, people switch their ambition to something else than that which they wished to be when they are little. We have many people in the medical field who wanted to be dancers. Similarly, some of the greatest politicians wanted to be artists. So we see how easily one gives up on their dreams to adapt to the society and to meet up to our reality  By Josué ✍🏽

                                                                My thoughts                          Sometimes, i feel single in my thoughts, like i'm the only one who understands myself,  like i'm so different from everybody; my thoughts,  emotion,  views, likes, dislikes. Like my thinking is a sin, like i will never be understood or heard.    Growing up, I have never trusted what everyone trusted, never believed what everyone believed.              Perhaps, Is there someone out there who thinks like me??? who believe that someone who loves you; can't decide to live you, will be curious about you,  will stay with you even if kids were not the reason,  will love you with nothing. But it s...

The darkness within

                  The darkness within The feeling void The dark sound filled with teary love Powerful sadness binded by Insatisfaction of hope Hope in the essence The light eyes of love Which sees through the soul. The humble rhythm created from the inner emptiness that caresses the soul Light me up oh sound so dark For I'm yours and you are lost in me Sometimes darkness is built by the emptiness of the soul
