I Was CutA Poem by Funmi Elizabeth Olaiya
Oh! I couldn’t control it The tears were hot I couldn’t find myself ‘cos I was torn from within I was cut.......
He went just like sugar melted in water I’ll try not to waver I miss him so much I struggled too much I remember when we used to run the town Without having so much I didn’t even get to say goodbye I was cut………
They hated me I know what I stood for They said “who are you?” They tormented me And extended it to my other loved ones Everyone was so blind They couldn’t just see it I took the pain alone Not minding to let go I was Cut………..
I tried to know them To focus so much I wasn’t the best But I struggled to Be among the best I survived in the middle Even if I couldn’t get to the top And with that I could get somewhere I wasn’t cut……
Struggle to be the best Through: emotional, academic, relationship… struggles I did such I strived I suffered I forfeited a lot I was so focused Determined was I I forged ahead And I reached my purposed destination Then I was healed……….
Finally I was healed To become who I am.
