Life is a journey but more often than not, too many people never set out on the road to the place of their destiny.

They lose sight of their identity, self-worth and life's purpose while in their teenage years.

So this poem is a gift to recall these young minds not to waste away by seeking after fun and frivolities that amount to nothing.

It is a clarion call geared towards inspiring the teeming future leaders to WAKE UP from their slumbers and grab the future by the jugular with all boldness, determination and sense of purpose.

Listen. Learn. Be inspired. And most importantly, share this episode with as many young people as you can.

I love you!

A poem inspired by hope and last minute rescue from the grip of depression and suicide. Depression is everywhere, but we cannot even recognize it, or is it that we pretend not to be aware of it? Young people, especially teenagers are pressured and traumatized to the point of contemplating suicide as the only way out, and parents, schools and religious leaders sit crossed leg thinking it can't happen to their kids. Nobody is talking about mental health issues, only football, African Magic and politics. Young people wants to speak their minds but nobody is listening. The few who even care to listen are ill equipped and easily overwhelmed. Things can not continue like this, or else we would have ourselves to be blamed in the long run for doing nothing. Encourage your kids to SPEAK UP and show them you are indeed ready to LISTEN UP when they need you. We may not be able to help everybody, but I believe that if each one of us help someone, all of us will be able to heal together and become stronger for each other. — Ebenezer Akinrinade [email protected] +2348027701092 — Music Instrumentals: 1.

Death is certain for every human but the means by which it comes differs.

The rate of death by suicide is on the rise. This episode features a spokenword and short motivation to restore hope and discourage whoever may be struggling with depression and having thoughts of suicide from taking such negative action.

I am a survivor. I have had several battles with suicide after the loss of my mum at age 12. From a personal point of view, a lot of people are suffering in silence having nobody to talk to or share their worries with.

Is suicide the best option? NO! Take a listen to this podcast and just maybe you will begin to see your situation from a whole new perspective. Drop me a comment, SUBSCRIBE and turn on notification for subsequent episodes.
