Words too heavy,  
Too heavy to utter.  

Is it just me,  
Or am I lost in delusion?  
I want to shout—  
Shout the pain in my heart.  

I want to scream,  
Not merely utter them.  
Who will understand?  

My eyes bulge with sorrow,  
Yet they speak so little of my agony.  

How I pray,  
How I ask Him:  
Why is this my destiny?  

A destiny,  
A destiny—  
Can it not be changed?  
Please, help me.
A plea for change
Patience Egesi Dec 2024
My eyes red
Red as tomatoes

My heart pounding
On my chest like a baseball

I believed You
I believed You

Why
Please tell me why
The betrayal
Patience Egesi Dec 2024
Crowns bow
No question asked

It is clear
God is King
King of kings

Nations today see
One Creator, One Lord

He is the Almighty
The I am that I am

He is He
No question asked
God is Lord
Patience Egesi Dec 2024
The anxiety
The worry
Looking at you
Helpless

Flimsy as they are
They can't stop a trusting heart

A trusting heart in God
He began
He will accomplish

Perfect
The challenges of life questions you but there is a God who begins and finishes perfectly
Patience Egesi Dec 2024
In a chaos
In a turmoil
Torn in between
Are you He?
My Lord?
The one I am to submit to

I always ask this question
Over and over again
I want to love
I want to hate
But I see just you
In the eyes of my heart
I see just you
My love for My love
Patience Egesi Dec 2024
As I stand before the altar of knowledge,
‎I am reminded of the weight of expectation.
‎The toil of my guardians, the pain they've endured,
‎To give me the gift of education, and a future assured.

‎There are no two ways about it, I must win.
‎It is not a choice, but a mandate from within.
‎I am a cub, looking up to the lioness,
‎Learning to roar, to conquer, to be the best.

‎Education is the key that unlocks the door,
‎To a world of possibilities, and a future in store.
‎It is the gift that keeps on giving,
‎A treasure trove of knowledge, that keeps on living.

‎So I'll take up the challenge, and make it my own,
‎To add value to myself, and make my mark known.
‎I'll strive for excellence, and never give up the quest,
‎For knowledge is power, and education is the best.
A poem dedicated to students
We can do this
Let's keep the passion alive
Patience Egesi Nov 2024
In the depths of our souls, a tempest rages
‎Anger, bitter blood, and a heart that's caged
‎The animalistic part of us, a beast that's untamed
‎Lurks in the shadows, waiting to be reclaimed

‎We don our masks, a façade of civility
‎Concealing the destructive part, the chaos that we can't define
‎Some wear their hearts on their sleeves, unapologetic and bold
‎While others hide behind a veneer, their true selves yet untold

‎We're humans, made in His image, or so we're told
‎But like rebellious puppets, we dance to our own beat, our own gold
‎We neglect our Potter, the one who shaped and molded us with care
‎And instead, we forge our own paths, with hearts that are hardened and bare

‎In this world of chaos, where love and hate entwine
‎We search for a lifeline, a beacon that will guide us through the grime
‎And though we stumble, though we fall and lose our way
‎We'll rise again, for love and unity are the keys that will unlock our day.
The cruelty of this world in the name of civilization
