To whom it might concern,
You can be mighty in your right
Yet you are left with nothing but your conscience
Your life is much more valuable than a #hashtag
Though it's now woven into the fibre of every 21st-century being's thumb
You are may have access to the window but not the front door
Your accounts are controlled at the backend by a stranger
Humble yourself because your digital handle has no door
You are worth every cell fighting for your survival
Not every cell ready to impede your survival
Fact is, you have done all the surviving
Your brain and heart have never taken a break since your inception
Just pause, breathe and acknowledge that this is remarkable
So just in case, you intend to give up or mess up, remember they trust your next move
Take turns to tell your stories in tens, a decade elapses like a minute
You will account for every move and decision you make
You do not need to make up but wake up from your slumber
Time is running out, better follow it because you already know,
Time waits for no man, not even for women
The clock is wise, it backs up your memories as it keeps moving forwards
While you are busy making meaning out of this life, its wheels are running at an unimaginable momentum.
This life isn't a cassette; no rewinds
Let's think wise not twice or thrice
We shall live but once
We shall survive another day
Another Sunrise, another Sunset and then we move
May the path lead right because your hope never left
You are a promise, maybe a wish but all in one, you are Human too
You matter more and every space needs goodness
Cruise, even in your pain, occupy and make exploits
I am enough, you are worth writing to
Accept my ink to keep you afloat through this life.
