The Rise And The Fall

Afam Uche - The rise and the fall

Life is a sum of seasons, time and sessions with doubt, pain, joy, resilience, tears, sweat, and hope. There are times when you want to fold up, exclude yourself, dive and fade away.

When fear calls out to your name, when validation rings in every place of your bones and you can’t help but question the testament of your existence, times when standing is so hard but you just have to summon the courage to uplift yourself and breathe.

Times when we get tethered to comparison, folding uniqueness into wardrobes of dilution, seasons when it appears all blurry and our fears lead the way

Sessions when we fail to let courage take a tour around our soul or honor the beam of light present in our bones, times when we refuse to cross through bridges of vulnerability for the fear that our trust will crumble all over again.

Seasons when we honor uncertainty, create walls from the base of darkness as protective on our emotions. Sessions when we wear strength, doggedly silencing vulnerability and forgetting that happiness is masked in every twist and turn.

Phases that we raise bars to hide our light, that we let anxiety stain our soul and pour doubt into our bones.  We forget that that light has been deepened into our soul and that we are a manifestation of light wrapped in flesh, a catalog of hope and a prayer of resilience.

Intervals, when we detach fear, when we engrave our identity boldly in our bones and the flames are increased, we boldly uncover layers of realism hidden to please people.

Remember that in every phase, we gather collectibles of growth as we navigate through disaster and chaos scattered on our paths, when heaviness mingle with our breath, when we travel without a destination, losing ourselves in a bit of exploring down the cliffs of uncertainty.

We unfold chapters while trying to live on the margin of survival, paragraphing experience, sometimes shrink from becoming- learning and unlearning, discovering and rediscovering.

Know that joy is a puzzle waiting to be fixed by your hand as you scamper around seeking and finding ways around the bridge of discovery.

You got magic running down your veins even when darkness tries to cast its shadows and the flames appear to be burning out, remember you are a covenant of uniqueness with the universe.

When strength is giving out, anxiety crawls into your chest with sirens of fear, remember, the interiors of your flesh has been soaked with divine magic. So do not let doubt raid a parade on your worth.

 

Please endeavor to share in the comment section how you navigate through the highs and low, The Rise and Fall in Seasons.
I am eager to hear from you.

      I can feel the magic grafted in your soul thank you so much Mariekrie
      these words are precious and golden to me.
      Please, remember one thing there is a lot of wonder swirling inside of you, aching to pour down in words if you are keen and patient to search inside❤

  • As a youth, I ask myself…
    What am I doing?
    Am I wrong? Are they right?
    Confusion rises… Thoughts boil…
    Steaming through our minds… Vaporized into our emotions and reactions…
    We try and try to hide… But it’s like fighting a lost battle…
    The older minds… With a heart of constructed contempt…
    “They’re just confused with life”.

    But yea, the Mirror only reflects…😔

    You just inspire me too much ma… 😭😭😭
    Hope to write like you someday❤️❤️

    • Thank you so much Femi, please forgive my manners for replying so late it isn’t intentional, sometimes the journey becomes really overwhelming.
      Life is a mosaic, a combination of confusion, directives, seasons, bridges and mountains. Sometimes it’s difficult and other times it’s sweet and the truth is everybody faces through these phases but what makes the journey interesting is finding joy and adventure. It’s never going to be easy but it’s always worth it and sometimes all we need is a slice of assurance and a reminder of how much fire we carry and is needed by the universe to survive.

      I am so glad that I am a source of inspiration to you, it means so much to me❤
      We are all storytellers, the pen is simply a manifestation of that.

      So you got everything inside of you to come out as a writer
      Sending my love down❤❤❤💋

  • There is no turning back now…. no matter how many aeon my back kisses the earth, what defines me is that i always Rise. True words dear…

    • The One❤

      True indeed, greatest prayer is for a reminder of how much flame we carry through thick and thin.

      Nobody succeeds at everything they do, even the most successful fall again and again when climbing to the top but our ability to stand up, learn from each failure and never quit is evidently important.

  • This is so accurate, not everything that comes back to you is meant for you.
    Sometimes things come back as a reminder
    Of just how good you are without them. I pray that we all have enough power to saddle through the hard times it can testing but we can’t do without them.

    Very well said👍

    • Oh Yes! I pray that everyday
      The greatest virtue we can learn is the ability to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge which is never an easy task but it’s always worth the struggle.

      Thanks for illuminating this space Onose❤

  • I’ll just drop this here to ice the cake you have said it all

    “Never ignore your fears.
    There’s a reason they exist.
    Find out why.
    Shine a flashlight on their existence and ask them questions.
    When they started, why they started,
    How they started.
    Dig into the truth until you find gold,
    Explore a little deeper until you sense emancipation”
