My Destiny Poem by Darlington Chukwunyere

I was all alone at home
I was bored and tired of the day's chores.
All I felt was a teasing ache up within my chest.
It wanted rest, it wanted no more sores,
It was thirsty but it had no coin to quench its thirst,
I was all alone, at home.


Suddenly, there was a knock...
Someone tapped on the door, and then it cracked.
‘Who's there? I asked.
Then a wench came in.

Wow, she was a dream come true.
Her pretty face shown like a golden glaze,
Her presence was like when the moon is glowing.
My heart began thumping to the rhythm my eyes were tolling
Whoever she was, it's dream come true.

"May I..." "Go on, please sit" I cut in.
"You must be looking for something? "
She sat cross-legged on a sofa gazing through the window, and whispering to herself.
"Wow, I think I luv this, I would add it to my shelf."
She was referring to the silhouette of the soccer ball.
Then I looked through the hole-in-the-wall.
And at once I realized something I should have known.
I noticed everything she had was my own.


And she said to me, "I am you. And you are me.
I am closer than you ever imagined.
It is good to see me in your dreams.
Learn to dream by night, but work by the day
Stay awake, while I come to your mind of dreams.
Only then you can paint the true picture of me."
