Spent all of life I've lived seeking.

  May The Castle Set You Free

  As a new light descends on us

  May we never have to be brave

  May we never have to force holding courage

  Like we had to when we were young

  The scars and bruises hold this pain

  And I am a survivor

  Of the war

  And survivors of a lost war become prisoners

  I am not a warrior

  Yet people cried as I was defeated by an army

  An army well-trained to adapt to my 'courage'

  The army claimed

  It was in the name of like

  I've always done, calling it bitter love

  Hatred from the past: that is all I own.

  14 days and a fortnight will have passed.

  To my very beloved, "Ay? àti ìf?, ma gbe wa ilé "

  "Ay? àti ìf?, ma gbe wa ilé " (Yorùbá) --- "Joy and love, I'll bring them home "
