I need everything
And I need dearth
I squeeze the leaven
To open the girth
My hour is eleven
Narrow, not straight
Rough sun having
Your fun on my mirth
When you burn my raven
Rekindle my hearth
I need Heaven
But I also need Earth.
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
I see only nothing –
Emptiness has suffocated the world.
Hollowness on the inside…
Bring yourself to the fore
And stop hiding like a scared animal
In the darkness of your fear of societal assumptions.
Stop being a learned act on the stage of life –
Stop being a masquerade in the market-place of shared dreams…
Be yourself!
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije
You become yourself
When you stop caring
What others think
You become strong
When you stop caring
What others think
You become calm
When you stop caring
What others think
You become kind
You become clear
You become, simply, you.
It’s that simple
Brave one,
It’s that simple.
– CHE CHIDI CHUKWUMERIJE.
