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.

I thought I knew you Till I knew I thought wrong My head must’ve been in my heart Coz my mind thought what it felt You were perfectly dubious Loving and hating me at once Your mouth spat love in my eyes And blinded me for a while Oh! I thought I knew you! Till I realized I didn't know me You changed me Then left me clueless

  How soon is too soon Before the rust on love  Is washed away The first sight? The first hello? Where do you go When you find yourself Nursing a thirst for a human soul So alien to you It dehydrates your concentration Only your eyes can see it Your souls have met That voice That unshakable nature The weird echoes of joy Is all you're afforded Nonetheless priceless They say the third eye is clearest So you're sure That seeing it In your dreams  Is nothing but a good sign Will I ever see you? Or will my dreams  Remain the only bridge  Upon which our stars cross By Deelivia and Damilare

Too late? Nah

 Hi there! Thank you for clicking that link 😘  This is an unplanned write-up. I just wish to share what the year has been like for me. Ok truth is, I have never been the type to end a year in a grand way (relationship-wise) by doing appreciation posts, mentioning names of people that had an impact in my life that year and the like. I equally am not loud about things I will be stopping or people I will be cutting off. I notice many people do that “this new year, I’m cutting off toxic friendships” bla bla bla. My dear me sef, I want to cut my own self off... scratch that. Apparently, the year 2020 was a tough one for everyone globally. Mehn!!!! The first painful thing for me was Kobe and Gigi Bryant’s death, alongside everyone on the craft with them. I wept! I wept like I had a personal relationship with them. I am still not over Kobe’s death. I loved that man. Then I lost a very dear friend in February. There were several deaths here and there. Chadwick Boseman’s death shook the world
