I am me

Feyikemi 1999 (Ogun-State)



It is funny the amount of stories u can tell when u look in a person's eyes
Its scary what u see when u truly look behind the smile
It is upsetting what u feel when u hold their hands and walk in their paths
Because I smile does not mean all is fine
Stop assuming
And start asking
I am more than what u see
I am more than what I say
I am even more than what they all say.
I am what u see when u look deeper than the surface
I am what u hear when you listen beyond what I say and what they say about me.
I am me
But with a little extra
