One Day I Flew Poem by Yetunde Adewuyi

One day I flew away.....

Family is a beautiful things, but sometimes it's........ Conplicated.

One day I came to realize that my sanity is much more important.

That day I flew,

I chose to release stigma of being called too much,

Because I choose to have high standards.

I was called too much! !



I flew

I flew with those who understand me

Those we see through the same lens as me

Those who know that Faith is before family

Those who know we are created to complete ourselves

Those who don't take advantage of me for their selfish interest

Those who know how Sacre family is.



But,

I do not neglect the former,

I just set BOUNDARIES

Healthy boundaries....yes.


I flew

Yes, I flew

I flew from blackmail,

Emotional blackmail.

I set my priority right,

I released guilts,

I break free.

Break free from Emotional prison

I flew.


And

I understand that,

Family is part of ALLAH'S promise to us

I do not ask to be where I am

But Allah made me

HE brought me in,

To the family,

For a purpose

And to that Purpose to.


I flew, so I can be sane

To claim it

To understand myself.

To release what is not meant for

My Purpose.

I realized I can not change the affairs of people,

Except they decide to..... EVOLVE.


I flew to my LORD.

Begging Him

By saying

"My Lord, save me and my family from the consequence of what they do."

And then I am flying.........for PEACE.

Because only AL- KHALIQ, AL- BARI

Can truly help us

If we are really ready!

But one day, I realized this

And

That day I flew

And still I flying... hopeful they decide to join me for GROWTH, FOR LIBERATION! ! !
