Life Lessons

Life, they say; is the best teacher, For real; it's lessons sank a lot deeper, Nothing else could give what life had to offer, I came, I saw, and I also conquered.... Would it be right for life to have given me artificial? Would it be fair if I say life's a bit partial? I wouldn't say life was putting me on trial, For it has been so harsh, treating me with so much denial... Some say last born of the family,are well taken care of! I wonder what went wrong in my case thereof; It still bothers me how I offended my dearly beloved, Because it seemed I never existed and they were better of... I was born into a family of nine, Having eight siblings; of which seven gendered feminine, Yet, I lived as if Nigeria was experiencing a serious famine, For years, I had no savings to call mine...
