Desire Obaroyeregbe Agbeyiwa Agidotan Ikoyo Poet Narrative

LEVELING UP

From childhood 
To adulthood 
Many things we faced
Before we overcome 
Emerging who we are today 
Some mistakes 
We don't want to repeat 
Because it keeps us in the pit.

Mistake repeated 
Are lessons forfeited 
Mercy after forgiveness 
Is not useless 
All we practiced 
Because we ain't perfect 
Rapid growth our goals 
Always finding a way to be on top

We don't want to be 
A result of our society 
Because it comes with insults 
Standing out wasn't easy 
But we always hold 
Tight to our dreams 
Steadily believing even when 
The odds are against us
That one day we'll triumph.
