I Fly Poem by Ifeyinwa Ezenyimulu

Whenever they fly
All and all fly
No more anger
Seeing them fly
I fly

My Joy is weightless
I cannot contain
My heart is light
Free of sadness

Despite left destitute
Subjected to their cast
Seeing them fly
I fly

I have been betrayed
I have been dejected
But when I see them spread their wings
I spring and fly

Just because I am an unmarried mother
Because I believed in lies
I have made gossips and gossips boom
Sticking out their heads through their windows

When I see them stand in corners
I weep and cry
But when I see them fly
I forget them and fly

Is that why I see them on my balcony,
That I may always fly?
So, even if they come down on me like a ton of bricks
I will see them fly
And will always fly
