A thousand lifetimes

I have lived a thousand lifetimes. A billion things have I seen through these eyes. Many of those things are much too painful to describe, but the very sensitive would see the pain mirrored in my eyes.

I have seen and tasted rejection many times in my life. I try to shut out the memories because it gnarls at my insides. I have wondered many a time if I am cursed to struggle with the basic things in this cold cruel life.

This is a battle that is getting increasingly difficult to fight. Warmongering, profiteering seems to work better than those who wish to do it right

My words are my life. But if no one appreciates them of what good am I?

I look at the sky____ longing for some sort of absolution from the one who dwells where it's always bright.

I am tired of this long big fight. An end must come to all things even this right?

My eyes drift towards the light. I move my left foot and then my right walking with hooded eyes cos it's too bright. Where is nature's delight?

Lost in the war between wrong and right. Well I must push on... Let it not be said Akintomide Ifedayo Adigwe gave up without a fight
