Sometimes you are just not someone’s type. They might be attracted to you for a while, curious about you, interested in you, be entertained by you. But in the end they will betray you or leave you, because deep within their heart you are actually not their type or what they’re looking for.
And there are two types of them. Those that will tell you honestly up front. And those who won’t.

Why don’t people recognise a great thing And just take it when it comes their way? Without hesitation, without doubting The magic, just join in the game and play? Maybe because it does not always Come in the form we expect and want - Because God’s Ways are not our ways, Our intellect is sharp but our intuition is blunt. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
Sometimes, many things you do you do it because you just don’t care. People think you do it, and do it that way, because you don’t know how to do it or you don’t know what to do.
They don’t know that you simply really just don’t care if it works or not, because it is not what you really want. You’re just doing it out of boredom and because it is available, and because you just have to do something to while away the time while you’re waiting for what you really want.
But that thing you really want, that thing you are waiting for, might never ever come.
So, why don’t you do well what you’re doing now; because in the end it might be the only thing you ever really got to do.
Love, put your heart into everything you do.

When the wound heals outside Without healing inside Baby you are beautiful inside and outside Your smile is open wide But your heart, the one that cried But your heart, the one that lied But your heart, the one that died Is closed up on the inside And will continue to pretend and to hide… Your laughter is it pain or is it pride? Lonely bride You are a lonely bride. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
When you stop wanting to know everything,
You start knowing what to really want;
When you start wanting to grow into winning,
You start growing, focused, up and to the front.
Never forget the kind of people and things
That rejected you when you were nobody and nothing,
Your knowledge of them shall be the wings
That shall fly you over obstacles into your blessing.
Absorb the pain and become serious,
Trudge through the terrain no matter how tedious,
Be your true self and you’ll be mysterious,
And never return to all that was injurious.

Poems from the inner river
Change leads to more change Every trigger triggers another trigger When life wants to rearrange Your life and make it even bigger It uses sudden change and surprise Pain is an inconsequential by-product Or a tool, a school, but the real prize Is your next level waiting to be unlocked So embrace change that refuses To be refused and powers itself through And challenges you and confuses You and transforms you into a higher you. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
That moment comes and it suddenly clicks, That someone you thought was close to you Really does not know you. The mind played tricks - Or was it the heart? - on both of you. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
In the morning when the sun arises A light shall also dawn within you, A clarity that intrinsically recognises What on Earth you are supposed to do - To awaken to service to the good, For kindness, honesty, courage and humility Are life’s deeper nourishment and food And the template of humanity. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
Go at your own pace Let no one hurry you Your life has deeper value Than just to be in a race. Frame your own narrative Own your own story Share your own memory Everybody’s is selective. Only you know Deep within your soul Your heart’s true goal You alone know. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
Feel it fully Intensely not dully Pain beyond measure Is one of the earth’s treasures It grows your heart Makes it strong, soft and alert All in one. Your true heart Your spirit, your innermost part That lives on and on and on And on and on and on… Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
