At the crack of dawn, there was nothing in sight
As your eyelids unravelled the darkness around you
it was just you: one body, one mind, yet, one thousand thoughts
With unwavering acknowledgement, you hugged back the sheets
You returned to sleep
At least in your dreams, you could be 'king' of your kingdom
But truth be told, even there your greatest fears do not elude you
There's still mountains to climb and seas to sail through
There's fires, there's earthquakes, there's downhills and the scary but seldom
Rock bottom
By noon of day,
A ringing sound forces you to awaken from your enforced slumber
As you begin to decipher your surroundings, it hits you:
The realization that there is still life to be lived is suddenly birthed in your mind
So as you answer your mother's call, the words "I'm great!" fall from your lips
And with child-like aspiration, you assure her that you are working,
That you had finally discovered the depths of your being,
That something in you had finally been unwound
That the root of your unravelling
Is a perfect place for rebuilding
You were unsure-as am I-of what changed
But with the instantaneous energy of your newfound courage,
You began to move
One foot in front of the other,
Back straight, eyes forward
The psalms and proverbs of your forefathers guided your wonder,
Your one thousand thoughts morphed into objectives you had to remember
And as you remembered the lessons that made you who you are,
One objective became clearer and clearer:
Remember that you are your mother's daughter
You are a sacred being, A holy place
Shattering the patriarchal glass ceiling is exactly what you were born for
You are the genesis of a million generations to come
While the world sleeps, you remain, the heartbeat of many nations
Grasping the very intricacies of life and meaning
You represent a long line of warrior mothers
A host of champions who understood and portrayed the full meaning of value
You are value, to everyone that comes across you
You are a force, building bridges, and breaking barriers,
Your grandmothers answered prayers
(Joy) Joy
Joy is all I feel
Joy is all I feel
Joy is all I feel
(Joy) Joy
Joy is all I feel
Joy is all I feel
Joy is all I feel
"Rock bottom
Is a perfect place for rebuilding
Remember that you are your mother's daughter
Your grandmothers answered prayers"
Titilope said that in Becoming. Yeah.
