Drowning | Okidi Gabriel Ronald

Blinded favour covered the inner whispers
Closing my eyes on a brighter day
Set a trap in my darkest room

You led me inside, why not pick me up now?
I'm drowning in the deepest mud of prehibbitive fear,
Screaming to the peak of my voice
But nothing like your wings over me,
So when I'm completely sunk, know that
The mission is unaccomplished.

Poet's note: The poem is about complete submission to others (friends). As in real life, a feeling of having great favour for your friends may lead you into traps as that even that friend may not be able to help you out of it though he/she is the one that led you to it. Towards the end of the poem, "So when I'm completely sunk, know that the mission is unaccomplished" means that, failure to stand with each other to the end, means your friendship/relationship didn't define it's reality since a real never splits during any situation.
