THIS IS MY SONG. MY 2017 STORY.

Series 2.

I turned every side of my bed a holy ground where I pray for divine intervention

I made every man my friend even when their inner motive is far from my knowing

I stayed humble as life threw dirt to my face, I remained humble still.

I kept looking at my diary of hope as I relate with the good moments that comes with the intentions of living a positive life,

I weaved, I stumbled, I fell, I was drained, my voice became the echo behind but I stood,

Not on a stream of water that spring from the mind of nature, but on a sea of water that reflect the challenges that life has in the wind to succeed

I DIDN'T BEG TO BE BORN BUT NOW, I HAVE TO PAY


MAGGIE L. WALKER said and I quote: You can either stand up and be counted or lie down and be counted out.

I didn't want to be buried in the sand of time,

I didn't want to be lost in the second of nature,

I didn't want to be the victim of oppression, of ignorant and of pride,

I frantically said NO to the picture of depression that likened my idle mind occupied with thoughts of success and breakthrough

So I challenged myself to steps that I thought would open the gate of haven for me,

I fought myself to leap up the direction where peace and freedom lies,

So I apparently applied for employment where vacancy surfaced,

Rejection wouldn't let go of a torn apart mind that is desperately looking for solace in the secret places

More than 12 companies returned my application back to the footstep of my email

I decided to go a bit further in the search for what to do

I applied for NIGERIAN NAVY of the country it's sand and water made me whole

The NAVY application came with the lots of documents to be signed by people distance to me for clarification and confirmation,

I so much hate the doctrine of application like these but which voice do someone like me has,

I risked everything and travelled a journey of no plan and preparation, on a road just to meet all the demands of my application,

I encounter lots of troubles in form of attraction that I couldn't resist,

I had to spent two night in a building that accommodated the mind that dine with habits of an insane spirits




To be continue....
