WITHOUT ME

Aiwuyo Bliss 2007 (Benin)



Taking a quick peek
Looking closely at the unclear picture of the future
Taking the step
That may change it all
Slow
Steady
Fast
Rushed
All those little steps that affect the once known me
Mind in chaos
Clothed naked confusion in the eyes that once held pride
War between known  strange forces
Tearing the crown I wear
I stand tall
Crooked
With a broken throne
As my only pride
Leaving me without me.

About this poem

It tells about a state in my life , when I was drenched in sweat looking around in confusion
