A day in HER life

At dawn, she wakes, the sun gently whispers, A new day unfolds, full of hopes and blisters. A Nigerian girl, dreams so bright, In the labyrinth of life, she's ready to fight. SSCE and JAMB, hurdles she faced, GCE now awaits, her journey's not erased. Admission letter, a promise of tomorrow, Yet in her heart, lingers silent sorrow. Her father’s voice, a constant refrain, “You’re not reading,” words like rain. They sting her heart, yet leave no scar, For she reads in shadows, away from the bar. Brilliant, she is, in ways unseen, In the quiet corners, she chases her dream. Books in her lap, when the world’s asleep, Knowledge she sows, in silence so deep. Her brilliance, a beacon, shining so true, Though often unnoticed, by more than a few. For those who watch with careful eye, See her spirit soar, touch the sky. She navigates through doubt, through fear, With each page turned, her path grows clear. A tale of resilience, of silent might, A Nigerian girl, in her own right. Through trials and triumphs, she finds her way, In the dance of life, she holds sway. A day in her life, a chapter so profound, In her silent struggle, her victory found.
