Life

Funny how I went from the energetic Young Man Always eager to be seen and heard To the same energetic Young Man Who now cares less about being seen or heard Life! Life! The entity that turns out not to be what we hoped hoped and dreamed for Funny how we went all the way from waking up to the smell smell of Mama's Jollof rice To like hating the idea of sun rise Every day different meals Now, everyday, different problems Life!! Life!! Very miraculous how I have gone from the Young Man that cares so much about what people will say To the same Young energetic man who no longer gives a damn about the opinion of people Right now... I don't even want to be heard I don't even want to be seen In fact, I don't want to be understood I just want to live to see the next rising of the sun Solve the problems that can be solved Return energies that can be returned Keep putting and doing my best And just be me on my own in my world Life!!! Life's reality indeed Are beyond theories and assumptions E no be anybody's mate Yet, it will teach all of us what we need to know © Oluwasola Elisha - ABSOL
