I Was Cut

I Was Cut

A 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.

Thank you so much marco
Very amazing work here. I could feel every line. The emotion of this poem is very intense. I know what its like to loose all faith and be hurt and give up hope. Then when he are healed we are free to be who we really are and stronger than ever. Very good poem here.
