7 YEARS OLD

 

once I was 7 years old 

I had this big dream

to become that which the world would keep clapping 

even after my curtain call 

a dream so strong 

enough to catapult and captivate every soul

wishing they were the one at my limelight 

and me, savoring the moment 

my stage light shines the brightest 

blinding every sight who strains their eyes 

it’s exceptional when you use a dark shade 

you better hold it tight, someone aims to steal it 

yeah, these talent comes easy to me 

I don’t sweat on it at all

I’m inspired via dreams and imageries 

I wake up exhausted from spiritual journeys

but I’m tired… I’m knackered and drained 

people keep shouting “you can do it, don’t give up”

well, people will always be people 

no one to listen, they are all full of blames 

I’m emotionally ragged and pieces

my mental state has been confined to an immobile spot

make everyone get out abeg, none to help 

I already found solitude in my dark corners 

once I was 7 years old 

I had this big dream

to become that which the world would keep clapping 

even after my curtain call
