Fatimah odunmbaku: Favorites

Mar 22 Fatimah odunmbaku

Mrs Timetable

when you left
you took the color with you,
and now the world
is like an old television set,
with muffled sound
that grates the ears,
and a picture
that cuts in and out,
filled with static,
in brilliant black and white,
that's made more of shades of gray.
did your world get more vibrant,
when you de-saturated mine?
or did the color
disappear entirely;
slipping out of your fingers
to be consumed
by the void
where my heart
once lived

Depart

Depart

Have you perhaps held on too long
to the place that you call home?
Have you let too much time slip by,
avoiding the unknown?

It’s hard not to be scared of change,
it happens naturally.
The risk of taking chances, yes
it’s pure anxiety.

But staying in this place is death,
you’re meant to rise and grow.
Your heart is meant to be your guide,
trust it and just let go.

If you stay here, you’ll just get old.
Your dreams you’ll never find.
So, take this chance, depart…
and leave this old place far behind.
