She wasn't always like this,
A happy bubbly girl- perhaps?

Wasn't that how under tens behaved? 
Bubbly and full of life?

She didn't act her age,
Maybe because her memories are gone?

Now a sixteen years old,
Who's never thought about having a boyfriend,
Sleepovers and movie nights.

She isn't by any chance your regular teen,
Maybe her not so bubbly self would fit right in in Lagos,
Maybe Nigeria will make her whole.

Maybe.

Lit Up

22 parts Complete

Fikayo knows there's no escape from the darkness she has known and lived in for years. Lit cigarettes give her comfort but it doesn't last long. She finds herself continually at its mercy, begging for a renewal of relief from her pain. Can a life deluged with gloom be lit up? She is in too deep, irredeemable, too broken to be mended into wholeness.
