REFLECTIONS TO SELF

In myself, I see a friend,

A soul that will stand with me till the end,

Cherish me with all my flaws, no pretend,

To my needs, no weekend,

Like a sturdy oak, steadfast and unbend.

In myself, I find love,

A beauty that will make angels break the law,

Make a son loyal to his lord,

Like YBNL kids to the rap lord,

A sight that will make the moon pause,

Like the sun's radiance, a blaze without flaw.

For myself, I have learned to stand tall,

Trails will come but I won't fall,

Like a mountain unmoved by the wind's call,

With roots so deep, I defy them all,

My victories I celebrate, big or small,

For I alone know what I saw.

I am the prince for my princess,

No matter how hard you try, you can't get access,

Let your father be the CEO of Access,

What do you have to offer, don't you see I am an asset,

Like a diamond, rare and priceless, I surpass.

I am the savior she has waited for, no less,

Like the sun breaking through clouds, bringing happiness.

I am the softness, Agege bread is learning if you give it a test,

I am brightness, tenderness, you can name the rest.

I invited my sorrow to dinner for two,

Like a storm cloud looming dark and blue,

Served her tea while we played Whot and asked her to pick two,

Hold on, advantage, general market, and I checked up on her,

Look your sorrow in the eyes and play her a fool,

This is your life; live it to the full.
