Usually, I'm comfortable in my own

Skin,

Whatever I'm not secure about,

The solution is to conceal

A time such as this has come

No matter how much I try to

Conceal,

You pull me out so violently before

A mirror,

To see the empty spaces pleading to

Be filled

To see the more in "That's

manageable"

I say "oh this looks great!"

You shut me up with not yet but for

Now, it's just manageable

Dancing in my halls of wishful

thinking,

But You were sent to pull me into

The hard, harsh and cold reality

To see more,

To say more,

To do more,

To move more,

More intentional,

To be more

It's not comfortable

But I sense growth.

Author's Note🌺

Just in case you were wondering what

HADIYA means, Its Swahili for "Gift".

Lol yeah I don't know why but I just

love African languages, to an extent

languages in general .

Either way back to the main business 😂.


Different things and people motivate

us to go places we will normally not

go or things that sound outrageous

but most times, regardless of how

tough it gets, growth creeps in with

time.

*No need for people who will feed

your ego.☺

and themes you would like me to

explore :)

To everyone who has been supportive

either by reading, voting or

commenting, I'm very grateful

because it encourages the ink to keep

bleeding because I know someone

somewhere is reading my unrhymed

thoughts.
