The Weightless Gift~ Azwi-Hilton

Weightless Gift nu Azwi-Hilton

Upon an ovoid hill, the still silence broke,
Where love once hung beneath the oak,
Not for applause, nor pride, nor fame,
But for the lost, He bore the flame.

No crown of gold, but spiky thorns instead.
No royal robe, but raw wounds that bled.
The hands that shaped the stars…

I Will~ By Lucy

If I knew today was the end of the world,
I wouldn’t have woken up.
I wouldn’t have forgotten to make my bed,
I wouldn’t have rushed out without kneeling to pray.
Instead, I scrolled on my phone till past eight,
I envied those I did not personally know.

If I knew the world was…

My Journey as a Creative Writer and Speaker~ By Ophadile

“I began my journey as a dreamer—curious, passionate, and deeply rooted in the desire to uplift others. Even as a child, I was known for always advising my siblings, often misunderstood as being “too forward”. But my intentions were always anchored in love, wisdom beyond my years, and an…

All I Ever Wanted : To Be Seen~ By Mpundu Merci

Sometimes I wonder why it always has to be me,
The one who is left behind,
The odd one out,
The one making jokes that nobody laughs at,
Never anyone’s cup of tea.

I mean, you wouldn’t understand,
Since my face hides it so well.
You won’t see what’s behind this beautiful smile,
Or beneath this extroverted…

Holding On To Hope ~ By Lorna Musonda

Why does it seem,
like nothing will work out?

It feels like,
all hope is lost.
Why do I feel,
indecisive?

I struggle to do things,
that make me happy.
It seems like,
I haven’t found my personality yet.

No matter how hard,
I try to trust God,
I feel like giving up.
I struggle,
to trust God consistently.

I feel like,
I can never…

Dear Youth~ By Lorna Musonda

Dear youth,
remember you shine.

Celebrated and embraced,
just for being you,
divine.

A little kindness,
goes a long way.

Making the world brighter,
starting today.

Embrace your capabilities,
your unique flair.

Be yourself,
with or without others there.

Find your voice,
make a difference too.

In a world of challenges,
inspire others anew.

Share your stories,
spread hope and light.

Dear youth,
may your spirit take flight.

Yes To Love Again~ By Faith Ojochogwu Mathins

Curled up on the floor,
At the corner of my room feeling sour.
Few nights I cried myself to sleep,
Yesterday was day four.

Cascade of emotions and thoughts,
Nostalgia and regret taking the fore.
What should I have done differently?
For this, I have fought with my thoughts.

I’m so angry – sad and angry at…
