Awesome Poetry

Becoming By Titilope Sonuga... (As Eki). 

 When the world unravels before you,

 And even your dreams are crumbling stones. 

 When everything you've dared to touch is set on.   fire,

And all around you is ash and smoke.

Remember This...

Rock bottom is the perfect place for rebuilding. 

Remember that you are your mother's daughter, your grand mothers answered prayers,

A whole bloodline of women who bend in response to raging winds, there is nothing broken here, Nothing damaged or discarded.

Each scar is a badge of honour, every mis-step a victory dance waiting to happen. 

You are a woman Becoming...

Learning the complicated language of forgiveness, the intricate lessons of the universe,

Your heart is just a muscle and it needs exercise :)

You were born for this sort of heavy lifting.

You were born, one part saint, one part warrior...woman.

Loving yourself without shame is the most important thing you will ever have to fight for...

I personally love Titilope Sonuga. She's my role model when it comes to 'open heart surgery' and all forms of deep poetry. 

 Basically the character 'Eki' that inspired this beautiful poem was a woman who fell in love and eventually got pregnant out of wedlock. Her fairytale shattered when she had an abortion and the man who claimed to Love her left her slowly and painfully, the way every woman dreads. Lolz Well the climax of this short review is not to highlight Eki's pains. Women go through all sorts of pains and struggles but Like Eki every woman must understand that indeed 'there is nothing broken here'. 

  This poem is dedicated to every Queen who is willing to find the courage and strength, to use her testimony of pain to encourage other women 'becoming'..., to embrace the true love of God and understand that true peace and Joy, does not come from a job, places, material things or even a man! But it comes only from the creator. #StayStrong #StayBeautiful #StaySaved.
