Journey And A Lie Poem by Ollisia Shasha M

One day I yearned for a journey
Without a family,
That was an easy matter
For I left the house so soon.

I went through night and day,
Then I stopped by my friend's place.
He had a wonderful family,
He had peace which I envy much.

A cup of tea to accompany me, he said.
The tea suited me that day
I guessed so, tell you something, lad,
'Cause the bitterly, extremely sweet liquid
kissed my lips and hit my head.

My eyes had gone clearer.
Was that a safety filler?
For my eyes? For my head?
Whatever, I thank him so.

One day I yearned for a family,
And I got myself a touching journey.
A lie that I should bury deep,
Now you have known.
