Oreoluwa Sanni Poems

I wasn't born normal,
I wasn't raised normal,
How can I be normal?
...

I Lose myself to prove myself.
Bad thoughts, a cause of mental health.

Bad choices.
...

Taunting pain in my veins.
I can't hate. 
It will affect my heart rate.
It will mess with my mental state. 
...

How it all began.

Man, Woman, Serpent, Plan,
Shame, Naked, Dead, Ran.
...

I've been driving on a highway,
Searching for my way.

Music playing on my sad days,
...

Daily activities as the mind sets.
Lost in endless plots of possibilities.

Trying to understand what went wrong I wondered.
...

Be positive.

That's a prerogative statement.
How can I be,
...

It's time to say goodbye to my teenage years.
Some blissful memories and others dreadful.
I experienced growth in so many ways I'm amazed.
I opened up some untreated wounds to treat it so I could heal better.
...

Table with my frenemies.
They think they are enemies.
Wolves on the porch.
But not a dragon with a torch.
...

When the music stopped
We concluded our waltz

The smoke cleared
...
