Hayizza Poem by Adewale Ajakanri

Hayizza



How it started
My life settings was a very bitter settings
Its not a hero film
Its not a story to tell the kids
I live a hopeless life
And it started with a tears of sadness

On the day I came to this cruel world
I lost my mother
As soon as she gave birth to me
She named me 'Hayizza'
And she gave up her life

I grew up on my dad's shoulder
I live a life of no tomorrow
I spend most of my days trying to know my name
I ask myself why I was named 'Hayizza'
I seems not to have a plan B
Cos I don't have a second name

My day had never start with smiles
Nor end with happiness
The year I got admission to secondary school was the year I lost my father
My energy was lost
And now I had no hope

I stayed in the orphanage home,
I was moved to a rich man's house
But it never brought me happiness
The year I got admission to higher institute was the day the rich people that adopted me lost their life in a car accident

This is just the beginning of my hard life
My life is really a sad life
It was never interesting
I asked my creator why I have chosen to suffer

For every house I entered, I bring bad lucks
And I wasn't allowed in anymore
I decided to go on a tour to get the meaning of my name
I went from the sunny days to the raining days
I see only the dead elders as I walk through the roads of sadness

No elder to ask anymore
I can't stand it anymore
I want to stand there looking like a doll
I'm tired of trying
Which only leads to all the Sadness
I'm tired of breathing
Each breath is cutting right into my lungs

Yes I know I need
The help of professionals
But I'd rather drink a bottle of orijin
Yes I know I need Allah,
But how can I get help from Him,
if I haven't believed in him since I was created

I need it gone
I need it forgotten
I need something to let this sad life ends
I decided to count my happy days
But I couldn't count any

My life had no future
No messenger of Allah could help
I never found the meaning of my name
But all I could say was the sad life I live
Tells me what my name is

I went to the top of a foot bridge
And decide to commit murder
As I jump down to the busy road of long vehicles

My mum and Dad woke me up from my sad dream
It was a dream
It was just a dream
I saw my mum and dad
They handed me my admission letter to university

Its all a dream
My sad life was a dream
The whole strategy was a dream and
I really wish not to dream anymore...
