Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Now My Journey Continues

Now my journey continues. 
Clear mind, clear conscience and all in place.
Know those I should trust with material things and those their love can’t be traded because of the crucial role they play in my life, yet can’t be trusted.

Now my journey continues
Everyday I wake up and I feel it in my bones the time is now. 
That time you need to choose either family or happiness 
You can choose happiness 
You can’t choose family
Not all family makes you happy 
So I seek happiness rather than family
Then my journey continues

My journey continues 
I try so many ways to let people see that happiness should come first 
So I pick people from other family and depend my happiness on them 
I hurt so deeply when each and everyone of them turn me away.
They see my happiness base on broken home
I’m that wreck nobody understand
That broken child that only have the mentality of making mama proud.
That’s why my journey continues 

My journey continues 
Now mama use my weakness against me
I’m not allowed to think for myself
I have to put her happiness first
As family should come first 
So mama was the family
Silently, mama was ashame of me
But I’m an asset she can’t afford to loose
Still my journey continues 

My journey continues 
As my world becomes a night mare
Mama’s advice was to her own benefit
Hardly do I know family is unity.
Knowledge impacted was one sided
So no happiness
These are the attribute of a family. 
Do have a family?
I need to know 
so my journey continues

My journey continues 
It’s my family
It’s my wreck
It’s not flakes
It’s humanity
It’s survival
It’s spirituality 
I don’t have a family...
I have a family to build  
That’s why my journey continues...

Written by my friend
An innocent soul 
From the third world street
A talent
