Determination Poem by Israel Akinbode

Deep down this tricky thick forest,
Every tree with fearful leaves,
Teaching fruits how to taste bitter,
Eager I am to quench all.

Roaming bees in search of skins,
Muting Joy, playing pains,
In it will I sleep and snore,
Not now will I give up.

Am determined to bind my mind
Tossed to and fro by life's swing,
Intoxicating fear,
Overcoming all.

Never! Never will I give up.
