Trader of Myself

TRADER  OF  MYSELF.
Selling  wrestle  my  pains,
Never  an  alternative  to  any
Sister  know  as  saint.
All  I  work  is  in  vain.
Trading  has  reframed  my  name,
Reshaped  my  ways.
Only  shame  replicates  this  game.
Have  ran  races, walked  through
Many  lanes,
Searching  to  sweat  for  weight
On  my  plates.
That’s  how  I  made  this  place.
Wonder  what  would  befall  my
Faith.
Am  aware  this  not  save.
I  pray, I  pray  my  Creator
Would  intervene.
Am  ready  to  walkout  of  this
Gate.
This  would  make  my  case
Never  remain  the  same.
                                                                                                          HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.
