The best day of my life

The best day of my life is not the day I got admission,

Admission into the university that carries and represents my vision.

It is not the day I prepare to go to school, leave friends and family,

To familiarize with a new environment.

The best day of my life was not my 100L where I met new peer

And friendship, cause that ship is a ship that sailed;

Nor was it the day I received my first lectures,

Or the day my results came out cold and bold.

The best day of my life was still not the day I got into cultism,

Cause all my efforts yielded nothing but autism of failure;

Nor was it the day I was expelled and repeled from school.

Indeed, it was the day I realized my existence.

My best was when I asked for clarity but realized clarity is not stagnant;

It is trying different things to see the means in it all.

It is the day I knew purpose was never proposed,

The day I knew purpose lies in the risk I take to break all the fales prediction in my future.

And I ask:

Does my past failure mean I can't be a savior?

Does my mistake do take away my opportunity to succeed?

I stand at an at easy to defend it all,

Cause this boy you see hear has been through the storms and still standing tall.

I had an identity crisis doesn't mean that's a really ID.

And I want you today to know failure is never the end of it all,

And your world was never built by people decisions and prediction.

And as you start your journey today,

I do pray and hope you don't loss your value like naira.

Like dollar I pray you rise,

And remain at the top like dinar.
