Desire Obaroyeregbe Agbeyiwa Agidotan Ikoyo Poet Narrative

THE SPOTLIGHT

I won a final
So many said you're lucky 
And I said I'm ain't 
I'm blessed
Not because I'm the most important 
But because I put in the work.

I wrote a masterpiece 
So many said you're talented 
And I said I'm ain't 
I'm gifted
Not because I'm perfect 
I write with muse not overthinking.

I leveled up 
Then they said you got pride 
And I said  I'm ain't 
I only endowed my worth
So I set boundaries 
I've never seen a snake bite from afar.
