My Deepest Fears... Poem by Rabo Sanusi

My world used to be full of roses
Joy was my guiding angel
My friends whom are my strongest defence
The once whose friendship
triggers me out of failure
Their company am never willing to give up
Remember how we mocked each other
And laugh over nothing
but the joy of togetherness
Just thought of the birthday gift we gave a friend
by burning his lap with a pressing iron
so he can have a stamp of what we shared
And how we bath a friend’s girl in front of a female hostel
And sang a happy birthday song
Or how we stood for each other
during our hard and trial moments...
Can’t forget how we always tease a friend
calling her man and freaking her out...
Ha-ha! It’s really funny
Can keep on ranting
But that won’t change the reality
My heart is heavy
As everyday i sleep with tears in my eyes
hoping not to say those words
Guess life is jealous of me
and decides to take away my dearest asset
See how time escalates
Seems like yesterday when we all crossed path
And started the struggle for a brighter tomorrow
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Am not afraid of them leaving me
But am sure scared of them leaving the memories
we shared behind...
Wish i could playback the moment we shared
Your sweet memories will everly remain fresh in my thoughts
With this, i salute you brave soldiers
Saying thank you for letting me the privilege
of sharing your friendship...
Have to stand up to my deepest fears
And wave you my glorious friends ”GOODBYE”...
