"My name is Callalily and you'd be dumber than you look if you truly believed that I would give up my child to the likes of you. I'm not scared and I won't be intimidated. This child will be apart of me for 9 months, and they will be apart of me well past the day I die. Let me make things clearer. I'm not leaving my child and you can fuck off." I spat at him. I spent my entire life beyond the walls, content with the life I was living. I relied on no one and no one relied on me. I wasn't mother material...I'm not mother material. And yet here I am, inside the walls and signing away my womb to a man- a dragon...that I don't even know. What would my mother say?

*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.
