"It is simple, I am not abundantly brilliant I am simply brilliant, there is quite a difference." A poetry collection about the everyday thoughts, emotions, random and deliberate occurences of an average poet. The kind of poetry collection where you will find love, heartbreak, immigration, hunger, boredom, desire and plain absurdity. That is the thing about poets. They make the ordinary sound extraordinary.

About beauty in imperfection Finding love in what's out of the mundane The black sheep 🖤

Some homes shine from the outside. Inside, they crack quietly. All That Glittered Was Family follows a girl raised in a crowded polygamous household in Port Harcourt, where love is not given freely-it is ranked, rationed, and earned by resemblance, position, and favor. Among twelve children, she learns early that survival means silence, endurance, and watching closely. Through the bitterness of a stepmother, the shifting power of a failing father, the weight of expectations, and the sting of mockery disguised as concern, she grows in a house where everyone is fighting to matter-and not everyone can win. But beneath the chaos, something refuses to die. This is a poetry of quiet resilience, of becoming in the middle of brokenness, and of a girl who chooses to rise-one step at a time. This poetry is bold until her voice is no longer swallowed by the noise. Top Ranks~ #1 African Poetry 11/04/26
