Seasons come and go
Fond memories are savoured
At periods of discouragement
And low state
Good and positive
Experiences always desired
With no provision or expectation
For the undesired
Taught to accept positive experiences
As God’s approval of our daily endeavours
Then it appeared
With its ugly head
Roaring like a lion
The undesired;
The unexpected:
Failure, discouragement,
Disappointments
Where is it coming from
What have I done wrong
Where did I miss it
Or where did I lose Him
Can anyone please explain to me
‘Cos I’ve worked very hard
To get this far
And I was seen
As someone with a bright
And promising future
With the world at my call
And beckoning
Graduated from school full of hopes;
Hopes of success
Hopes of great exploits
At the marketplace
Hopes of scaling whatever hurdle
That comes my way
Successfully moving
To the next level of my career
But suddenly
It appears that I don’t know anything
That I’ve not done anything
And felt like my world is crashing
Right before my eyes
I became an object of ridicule
Looked down upon by everyone around
What has become of me
What have I dragged myself into
If only someone can just understand
Please, can anyone understand
Understand how it hurts
How it feels to be downcast
And be left alone
With the feeling of rejection
CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND?
