By Abie Rachel Ogoh Nyassi.
I am a woman
That can light up the world,
But my impression and reflection,
was senseless to the people,
I ran for minutes,
Travel for days,
Work for years,
Yet I was wondering,
Where could my destiny hold,
My life was like a misery to the world,
I became voiceless, powerless, and helpless.
I was a bit resilient towards the pathetic situations I was
In a dominant society,
Where youths lack,
Source of inspiration, motivation and determination,
I was voiceless in my comfort zone,
My problems were like mosquitoes,
When they bite I kill them,
I live in a dominant culture,
That is designed to destroy,
my inhibitions
But it was hard for my Spirit to be killed,
I took up the opportunity to grow,
My sense of urgency,
Awakens me with integrity to believe in myself,
I live out of imagination,
To walk towards my vision,
I heard the stories,
I heard the cries,
I felt the pain and tested the desperation,
I travelled through,
The bitterness of hardship,
The history of life is like a circle,
When I looked upon the colds,
I look up to the earth,
I see nothing,
But the tears of the young age dripping,
Sometimes I feel like quacking,
But my hope of holding praying like,
A star that brightens me,
Let us be losed from the chain of backwardness
Let us glow and show the world the strength of unity
The sparkles of life,
Lead to the destruction of the innocent soul,
Inspire of the disappointments and setbacks,
I believe someone’s opinion,
Don’t have to determine my reality
Let us live a life,
That will build a legacy and change the world, This is the Adventures of life,
I remain your poet
