The Best Poem Of Olapeju Latifat Ayoola

Blood Don'T Flow In Stones

Here in pain.
Another sleepless night.
Too much agonising pain.
Splitting headache.
The price to pay.
See so many doors opened.
No hesitation, no fear.

A step inside.
Everything engulfed me.
Taking me under.
Saw it coming.
It taking over me.
Lost inside, almost empty.
The vacuum swallowing this life size.
So I turn to my poetry.

Tears fall as verses come.
I cannot disappoint them.
I cannot let myself go.
I must not give it up.
Yet it feels like forever.
All the responsibilities are not going away.
Instead they are trying to overwhelm me.

So many days.
Too much a sacrifice.
Now the body says it will not oblige.
Enough is enough.
Even computers take a break.
Yet cannot stop, they believe in me.
They are expecting a breakthrough.

Suck up pains.
It must not take me down.
Temperature is escalating.
Eyes are throbbing.
The whole system just want a break.
See, the future cannot be ignored.
Still the body is crying for a hearing.

Will try and listen.
What choice do I have?
Every joint is going numb.
Brain cells are in oven.
Without a healthy mind, there is no future.
Ambitious isn't head, body is.
Yet she was treated so badly hence she retaliated.
