ADENITEMI - 329
"The Crown Is Mine"

Once desolate, trapped in the four walls of death
Choked by the stench of animosity,
My being was enchanted by revenge and hate
Repelling all that was good with intensity,
A walking puppet
Empty at heart and literally dead,
I pursued all I was a slave to
Gassed at each step,
Not seeing the finish line
Wondering to myself
When does this race end
But I kept going,
There had to be some reward
For all of this at least,
Till I met a rock
That broke the walls of death around me
Shattering the hardness of my heart,
A perfect rock that illuminated my being
Clothing me in glory and honour,
It delighted in me
I began to radiate light
Everywhere I went,
My steps became majestic and immaculate
Everything with accuracy,
Giving me a crown that sealed me
To this good rock,
Now I walk with confidence
Joyous at every moment
Filled with immense peace
Assured that The Crown Is Mine.
