Edward Ibeh's Contest: This Or That, Vol. 31 ...30 Mar 25
When rebellious thoughts screamed
Before the noise of life filled the quiet,
I now recall half-filled moments
Upon edge of spite
and an angry wind:
Unmoved by parental debates
This heart denied
pleas of atonement;
At eighteen, pride ruled
to cross over the night...
and walking out with a backpack,
Feisty senses burst
for sweet freedom's trail.
Feeling how ego scraped my life
As dove cooed of home's lullabye
My heels rushed back
with fresh reflection ,
Gentle air of surrender lingering within
A mistake transformed
into youth's blessing--
That through some willing desire
I began to wrap my hands...forgive;
Releasing the power of humility.
and I smile tonight, this arrogance a gift
Which tides me through...
most challenges of adulting.
