I Have A Friend by King Ifey


Word! 
You really think 
You have a friend? 
You bare your heart
And soul to him 
And you tell him 

Everything about your life
 In the hope that he 
Keeps it safe for you. 


Later, word gets out 
And you question 
Your smartness. 
How stupid it was 
For you to have trusted.


You call yourself a friend
  And yet you are 
An ocean away from me.  
We wine and dine 
And I look at you 

With all the trust in my heart. 
Little did I know
 You Harbour huge
 Reservations about me.

Believe me
Every day we learn.
You are not stupid
Because you beheld 
Such drama in your life  
We are all going through 

The same school called life.
We learn in it together 
And we become wiser.

We keep getting wiser 
Till we are reduced to dust.

    This poem moved me to tears.
    It hurts to know that friends can sometimes desert you.

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...
