Freedom

By
 


My head facing upside down 
Restless and feeling drown 
With thoughts of the liberty plan 
From the steel thin rods around me 
More or less like a vaccum that 
allows nothing in it 


So cold and I am shirtless 
My carnated body is fading off 
My hair so weak and tired 
Nails are moving distance 
Life pitying me in tears 
Blind, with my two eyes open 
in a black weather 
Still I ride in the dead lantern' chariot
Misleading my paths 
Still sugarcoat me with lies 


I believe I have no choice and still I smile 
but my heart weeps deeply in sorrow 
Dont know how to go about it 
Sometimes I wonder when and 
how we get to our destination 
Still on a journey to the unknown land 


All I soliloquize with confidence is 
"I have a dream." 
The dream I can't even remember 
I once had thoughts I was the 
leader of tomorrow 
How I got captured, I know not
 

I see promising children as 
my time left me alone 
But they all end up looking 
at the narrow path 
Dark, thick and wild 
And I just still say 
"I have a dream." 


The riders make the horses
move with no blinkers 
The road is confusing 
I dont know how to survive this 
The riders beat the horses, 
they run fast and fast, so fast 
They laugh wicked and look 
in my eyes with sarcasm 


If I smile not
They drop me in the middle 
of the unknown path 
So I smile on my bitter face 
But I have a poor looking meal, 
leaves to cover my skin  
and an exposed shelter 


Who will take me back home 
and wake my mother? 
I am lost in this journey of 
suffering and smilling. 


I need freedom.

Photo Credit: Deji Adeoba (I love you gan ni) Hello Deelivians! I trust you’re doing great. I’ve missed youuu 😘 It’s my 25th birthday! Whoop whoop! In the last 365 days, I have come to learn a lot about myself. Earlier this year till recently, I had to deal with a lot of unpleasant happenings. That’s pretty normal, right? Life is full of ups and downs. The downs this ldast year of my life ehn! No be beans. I even had a mental challenge for a while about 2 months ago (don’t ask), but I thank God for good people that SLAPPED it out of me. However, something super duper exciting happened to me early in January though. Hehe, again, don’t ask.  To foster positive thinking and to learn more about myself and make me happy, I asked 25 people (male, female, teens, young adults, close people, people I’ve never met, etc) to tell me what they like about me. I chose 25 because I’m clocking 25,lol. This is a sort of feedback and personal behavioral evaluation. What to do with w
