When I left my home
I left with so much trepidation
So much fear!
Fear for my life
Fear for the unknown
Fear of where to lay my head
Where to eat
When to talk in this land
When to speak
When not to speak
When to go out and;
When to return.
I left my home with my head ringing
From thousands of
"Do’s and don'ts"
But here I am with few months
More
Smiling, laughing, eating out
Making friends, gisting with
My neighbours
Having fun and a good time
Living a wonderful life
Here in the expensive city
The city I was told to fear
The city they call
A land of Unfriendly people
But a city full of hope
The sit of our Rising
With promises of better Nigeria
Promises of a better tomorrow
Promises of a fearless environment and
Promises of a corruption free society
Good education for all and
A poverty free society.
Nigeria is the place.

Some of your words are not really poetic and cannot convey the message. Its a good one but you need more improvement on your writing skills.
