KNOW HER PAST

She was a weak bird

Hatched in a ground nest.

Her mother was hunted down

By one wicked hunter.

Through hazy eyes she struggled to feed

Through dark paths she managed to walk

Like one optimistic poor princess

Never knowing what wings were meant for.

Flying birds mocked her walks

Flying birds taunted her ears

They lured her to the mountain top

And called her bluff to fly.

She broke under their pressure

And broke her virgin wings

She tried her hardest to mend her wings

And made practise her daily meal

So if she flies without a flaw

Don’t make her your point of abject hate.

She cried, she fried, she stood and fell

And stood the test of worldly taunts.

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
