Poem by A Nigerian by jaeyikeh(m): 8:27pm On Feb 25, 2016
Many exists but few actually live
Many just stay alive to follow a trend
From this point of view you can actually tell where am heading to.
I was actually someone who existed, yet did not actually live.
I lived a life just to follow the trend of things.
Without even thinking if it were right, I just followed.
I moved from pillar to post copying every single move made by my so-called mentors. Mentors who never even knew I exist.
I actually tried to remould myself so I could fit in just perfectly.
But yet I still found some loophole in my life .
I got to a point where I soaked myself in a fantasy where I could be who I wanted to be.
Which was the perfect the perfect guy every lady would desire.

At some point I woke up, realizing I had lived in a fool's paradise.
At this point I began to pick the pieces of what I had left of my life.
After years of searching for who I actually am.
I have been led to this dump
Where I float as the air we breathe.

By this time I know you are wondering who I am .
Allow me to introduce myself ;
I am the air that passes by
I am beat that phases through your heart
I am the life that flows through your bulb
I am the heat you feel
I am that feeling you get from a kiss
I am hot and cold
I am push and pull
I am ying and yang
I am neither white nor black
I am neither bright nor dull
I am neither for war nor peace
I am neither fat nor slim
I am the water that falls and rises again
Do not mis-interpret me
I am no god.
I am simply a phenomenon with life.
I am a living phenomenon
I am the cloud that hovers all around
I am the sweet taste of salt
I am the King and the queen.
Finally, I am the king of my mind.

My name is Black Lantern and
I just happened.

Black Lantern.
