FakFil writes First Lyrics!

It was like a play. I was on a casual visit to a relative's place. Her children were a bit interesting, and for the fact that I am a young poet, they tried to see my wits. The eldest daughter asked me to write something about love.
I was like, "Love? I haven't written anything about love in weeks. The only thing that has been connecting me to love was WestLife", I replied. But I rethought: "if this is a local impromptu request, what if I'm confronted with a bigger one?"
So I asked for a plain sheet and a pencil, and before I got the items, I managed to guess what my first lines would be. It was like a melodrama. All three sisters were on audition, waiting for my commencement so they can applaud, or dissuade.
So I started:

"I feel like I'm in love, O my baby.
I don't know why you left, O my baby.
I still long for your love, O my baby.
You never cared I was hurt, O my baby.
I don't know how I felt, O my baby.
As you did run away, O my baby.
But now tonight I found rest, O my baby.
I thank God for His peace in my life, yeah..."

It was like they were not yet satisfied with what I wrote. So the last sister said, "and you call yourself FakFil?" I was enraged, embittered, that I couldn't show off the meaning of my name to my cousin, even if it were my official nickname. With anger, I thought about the meaning of FakFil. "Fix A Kiss, Fall In Love".
So I continued:

"It was back in '99, I was working all around the clock,
My friends thought I was fine, yeah, my spirit hung under the rocks.
I thought, thought and thought, I kept thinking in my mind,
Till the clocked ticked 9 that night, I was up under the skies.
Yeah I fought, fought and fought, till my strength hung down the lines,
I was screaming in my mind, I was feeling like I'm sad.
There was something from behind, like a cup of tasteless love,
Which kept tearing me apiece, sending cold air down my spine,
Days of love, days of joy, kept on ringing in my mind,
For I long just once again, hope to hold you in my arms.
Days of fights, days of tears, held me speechless, I was sad,
For I long now to see, how I'll hold you in my arms,
But the longer you said "NO", I don't know how I flow;
I was left hypnotized, all alone...
Now tonight I am here, I am flying without wings,
I'm so glad I found rest, and I'm feeling happy!"

"I feel like I'm in love, O my baby.
I don't know why you left, O my baby.
I still long for your love, O my baby.
You never cared I was hurt, O my baby.
I don't know how I felt, O my baby.
As you did run away, O my baby.
But now tonight I found rest, O my baby.
I thank God for His peace in my life, yeah.."

"Well it;s true what I see, you're the only girl that makes me trip,
For the first day we met, I was really feeling like I'm spelled,
So why now o why, would you steal my love away,
O I cannot think or work, 'tis a job for me to play,
O I try not to cry, but I'm feeling like a fool,
For I played the gentleman, yet you left me, hey so soon...
Baby now I have learnt not to trust or lean on love,
For the more of love you see, is the more neglect you feel,
I will rise to my feet from the pieces I was left,
You are now history, thanks for teaching me your best.
O my God, I am here, in Your Holy Place to pray,
You can bring me back to life, once again...
Now tonight I am here, and I'm flying without wings,
I'm so glad I found rest, and I'm feeling happy...

"I feel like I'm in love, O my baby.
I don't know why you left, O my baby.
I still long for your love, O my baby.
You never cared I was hurt, O my baby.
I don't know how I felt, O my baby.
As you did run away, O my baby.
But now tonight I found rest, O my baby.
I thank God for His peace in my life, yeah.."

By the time I finished my lines, I was refreshed in the brain. Infact, I didnt know where the tune came from,. and suddenly, the lyrics became a song. My cousins applauded me, and I felt like fulfilled.

ABOUT FAKFIL

My name is Fakunle Philip Temitayo, aka FakFil. I am a native of Oyan. I base in Osogbo. I am 30 years old.
I attended Federal Polytechnic Ede between years 2010 and 2016, where I bagged a Higher National Diploma and an Ordinary National Diploma in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology. I proceeded to complete my mandatory 1 year National Youth Service Scheme, starting with the 3 weeks orientation course in Dakingari Kebbi State, and later redeploying to  Ogun State. In 2011, I applied for the MTN sciene and Technology Scholarship Fund, which I eventually won in April 2012. I attended Ataoja High School of Science Osogbo between years 2006/2007 and 2009/2010, where I obtained my West African Senior School Certificate in Examinatipn (WASSCE), National Examination Council (NECO) and National Examination Council General Certificate in Examination (NECO GCE). I attended Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo between 2003/2004 and 2006/2007 where I bagged my West African Junior School Certificate in Examination (WAJSCE). I also attended Good Tidings Nursery and Primary School, Osogbo, Osun state between 2002 and 2003, following my previous departure from God's Success International Nursery and Primary School, Osogbo which I attended between 1999/2000 and 2001/2002, my reason for departure being residential.
I am a black young man, a paternal native of Accra Ghana, a Foster native of Oyan, OdoOtin Local Government of Osun State, Nigeria, and Maternal native of Ode-Omu, Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. I have been to a few parts of the country, such as Oyo state, Ogun state, Rivers state, Kebbi state & Kwara state, to mention but a few. This is due to my main hobby, which is travelling.

My professional career began with a siwes period at Osun state Broadcasting Corporation, Ile Awiye, Oke Baale, Osogbo, which lasted for 4 months. Next I did my 1 year mandatory industrial training at Procter and Gamble Nigeria Limited, Oloyole, Ibadan, in 2012 which was extended by 6 months.

My first professional job came as a technical operator at Kimberly Clark Subsahara West Africa Limited, Mushin, from March 2015 till April 2019. In May 2019 I moved to Promasidor Nigeria Limited where I worked as a technical operator in blending section of Onga cube (Onga 1&2). After 9 months, I joined Wemy Industries Limited as a production technician in January 2020, where I work till today.

At Wemy, I've served in various capacities including Team Lead and Production Supervisor. My focus at work is to make the job simpler for each of my team members, because together, everyone achieves more.
I like making friends a lot, and my best friend-making toll year was in 2011. So much as I love surfing the net, I discourage people from chatting for long hours because I personally observed that chatting can be addictive
My best food, if you may know, is Beans, although I have a good number of favourites. I like teaching people how to cook, because next to my mum, I am the best cook of our house. How could this be so? Well, my personal answer is, although i have sisters who can cook, I am the first boy, and I am the first born.
My ons are honesty, transparency and flexibility. My offs are insolence, stinginess and lying, to highlight the mostly important. I'm a gambling addict, and nothing I've ever done has successfully been able to make me to quit. As a matter of fact Gambling has taken almost all I've worked for, from 2015 till today.
I am single to stupor. I've had only 2 relationships in my whole life, with a good number of run-alongs. Both relationships sadly ended, not the way I wanted; but man proposes and God disposes. I'm currently in the lookout for a God fearing, hardworking Christian lady.
I am a Christian, and I attend the Deeper Life Bible Church.
My phone number is 08136632693.
I am a peculiarly Unique being. I like spending time alone. I spend my leisure periods to read books, listen to music, compose poems and write songs. My favorite musicians are Olamide Badoo and WestLife
I read books like "The Gifted Hands" by Ben Carson and "Romeo and Juliet" by Williams Shakespare, Poems like "Someone Came Knocking" by Sir Walter De la'Maire. I listen to songs like "My love" by Westlife, "Goodbye" by Celine Dion, and "Olamide Rhapsody" by Olamide. These activities made me to develop singing and writing skills. I have over 50 songs written. However I've mixed and mastered "Motor yii gbe (https://www.reverbnation.com/fakfil/song/31174464-motor-yii-gbe)", a song I released in 2016, produced by Don Tee for Paved Way Records & Entertainment. Some of the lyrics to my written songs can be found at www.ambitionbooster.blogspot.com. I have also written series of Poems, among which are "Good Morning How are you", "A Thousand Miles", "Thanks For a Job Well Done", and "O What Joy It Is to Love", to mention but a few. Unfortunately some of my poetry are lost, as I did not develop or pay much attention to that aspect. I didn't only specialize on poetry, I also dived into Article and Free Writing.
I always want to make everyone around me to be happy. I am an active giver, not because I have enough, but because I know how it feels to have nothing.
I have a short proverb: Everybody has his/her own world at a glance; it will not be closed until then.
As a young man who aims for nothing less than the best in life, I develop various quotes which I live by everyday.These include "Try to Fry your Shy to Dry", "Live to Fend to Blend the End", "Whatever we do today is a reflection of the type of life we have been living in the past, and a refraction of the type of life we will live in the future", amongst others.
My favourite film is "SmallVille", hence the usual attachment "Clark" to my nickname. Other films I have seen include "A man called God", "Legend of the Seeker", "Merlin", "Spartacus", "Mr Bean" and lots and lots of Nollywood movies.

Note that "Firm Aspirations Keep Foreseen Insights Lasting".
