In my head
I live knowing not what tomorrow brings
In my head
I see a picture of a tattered me side by side ‘granders’
In my head
Hurting words dance “kpalongo, agbaza” and “adowa”
In my head
Nothing I aim for will be achieved
In my head
I am a mere woman seen by my crushes with horns for ears
In my head
I am a little being who hides from smaller beings fearing being stepped on
In my head
A drop of tears seems like an ocean of pain
But in my heart
I am a super being
In my heart
There is nothing I cannot do
In my heart
I am an adorable being who many will want to befriend
In my heart
Hurdles are there to be breached
In my heart
I am a very hot fox who many are after
in my heart
Nothing seems impossible and tomorrow is bright
So my head fights with my heart
And all I can hope is for the heart to win.
