Mmeso Inspires: Against The World

It is hard to decipher

but it is real.

A tale I hate to recall

but love to recount in the multitude of despairing souls,

To let them know, that life has roses just like it has thorns.

Listen Carefully.

A tale so devoid of taste…

like an Insipid soup.

But has a substance, enough to sustain a life.

I will tell you what happened Ola.

Don’t ask me questions, because I might not be able to answer.

Don’t ask me why, because I might not know…

Listen Carefully.

I can remember vividly, Seven years ago…

Barefooted I was, walking briskly along the road.

Many stopped and stare…

Others sighed and shrug…

They wonder if deranged I had become

Because I was walking to nowhere in particular.

They wonder if “a hopeless” I might be called

Because there is no hope of survival.

“What a world to afflict such a beauty with such a pain”, they exclaimed.

I must tell you Ola, those moments of pain was my greatest teacher.

I conceived a new strength because, though I was in a dark place, I was not buried but planted.

Ola, it is me against the world.

Listen Carefully Ola,

You are a starlight, don’t despair.

You are destined for success, why give up?

Turn your wound into wisdom and your scars into stars.

Seven years ago, I was called an insane.

I was called a “hopeless”.

I was the topic of discussion at their respective home.

Today Ola, the world fumble for my light.

It is me against the world.
