Opeyemi Mariam Sonaike Poems

I had one once, but it left too soon,
Now I find myself beneath a heavy moon.
Two have appeared in this tangled embrace,
One seeks my heart, the other, a different place.
...

In a world of roads where signs abound,
A traveler wanders, where none are found.
With compass heart and feet of dreams,
They chase the whispers of silent streams.
...

Rich in Past, Poor in Future: The '90s

In the '90s glow, a world full of dreams,
Riches flowed freely, or so it seemed.

Your Inner strength,
Can't easily be seen by the metric,
An inherent asset in great lengths,
To learn and improve to not become dyslexic
...

Looking back on the 29 years I've lived,
I wonder have I done enough?
Sometimes it feels like I'm falling behind,
But still, I hold myself together in the only ways I know how.

The Best Poem Of Opeyemi Mariam Sonaike

Tangled Confusion

I had one once, but it left too soon,
Now I find myself beneath a heavy moon.
Two have appeared in this tangled embrace,
One seeks my heart, the other, a different place.

One likes me dearly, I feel the same glow,
Its laughter, a melody, a gentle flow.
The other admires, but my heart cannot sway,
Yet still, there's a weight, I can't push away.

Once there was one, we shared a deep thread,
But now I'm uncertain of the words left unsaid.
Do I still hold a flicker, a chance to revive?
What's better, a spark or the ghost of a vibe?

Each day brings the questions, each moment a phase,
In this complex dance, lost in the maze.
Does it think of me still, could we spark that flame?
Or is it just echoes, whispers of a name?

One likes me truly, its feelings are clear,
But I can't reciprocate, I feel it near.
Yet, in this confusion, a truth I must find,
What does my heart seek, what's gentle and kind?

Oh, tangled emotions, a riddle so deep,
Wading through choices that hardly let me sleep.
In the end, I just crave a connection that's true,
A heart that aligns, a love ever new.

Opeyemi Mariam Sonaike Quotes

Amidst the shattered fragments of my soul, I find solace in the chaos, yet each moment of safety deepens my wounds; vulnerability becomes my armor, exposing the raw ache of trust betrayed. I am a phoenix, rising from the ashes of my struggles, where strength is forged in the fires of discomfort, leaving me unguarded, yet yearning for protection in a world that feels both like a refuge and a relentless storm.

'In the echoes of past heartaches, remember: healing is a journey, not a destination. Let the scars be reminders of strength, and allow love to find you when you're ready to embrace it anew.'

'Always look forward, but remember your past; it may come back to shape your future.'

In the quiet moments, I sit and reflect, On those I called friends, who seem to forget. They're there when they need me, always at my door, But vanish like shadows when I need more. What's the use of voices if they go unheard? Of open hands that never return? I cry out in silence, but no one can see, The hurt in my heart, the question—Why me? Is it luck or a curse, this endless divide? Where warmth disappears when I'm broken inside? I gave all I had, but when I fell apart, They watched from a distance, guarding their hearts. So what's the point of people near, If they flee the moment I need them here? In my solitude, I start to see— I'm stronger alone than they'll ever be.
