Outcast
written by: Akintoye Akinsola
Supplications limited
Making me embalm my happiness
I now stand at the ‘exit door’
Lofty heights unattained
I have romanced fear
Past glory now my future
The false tales of men that forged my path
Now betraying my words
I am now the unwanted fetus of the moon
Its silence louder than words
Yet lesser than action
For my circumcised relevance became my adversary
I hope to birth my fruitfulness again
Where I will pick up my shredded skin
Lay its fragile life in my hands
And nurture it till it wins back the love of all
