I am a queen, the prettiest in the village.
Whatever I want, I get it.
Young men fight for my love and Young ladies hate me…, they said to themselves “Her sight is intimidating”.
I am a flower, which can never fade at dusk.
You can call me the beauty goddess because I deserve it.
Yes, I am a paragon.
You see, I have been pinning away gradually and I cannot explain why so much pain for a beauty like me.
It’s Okwudiri, the village warrior.
I am the sunshine of Alaoma village, the panacea to my father’s illness.
Everyone always turn to catch glimpse of me again each time I passed by, both men and women inclusive.
But I wonder why Okwudiri is not moved by my sight.
Is he a spirit that he cannot talk to me? Or
Is he a blind man that he cannot behold such a graceful sight?
It’s been a while since I have my eye on him but he seems to have his eye on someone else.
