Creeping Illusions Poem by Lamina Ifeoluwa

Appalled at my failures, reprieved in desires
Blood spilled with paranoia, actions haywire
Resented by many, all conniving moles
Like an harbinger of death, lessons toll
I search for solace within my deepest fears
Harnessing each opportunity without a shedding a tear
Life stooped me low a lot, my perpetual pervert
Reminiscing my past and present covert


A prodigy I am in that dark alleyway
Bleeding profusely but glad anyway
'Pros' and 'cons' kept staring at half past eight
Anytime I stormed out on a date
A glimpse at reality subdued my face
Ever since I ignored the Lord saying *'Lower your gaze'*
Is it just me or my choices preferred? ?
As the devil struck me with sigh on a third
