Mixing It Up


I was just a normal girl

With a heart that loves hard.

Yet, caged in the deep recess of my chest.


There was nothing special about me.

I was a nerd and a robotic baby,

Moving through life in a planned specialised fashion. 


I had no expectations of on what life should bring.

I believed in working hard and not luck.

It was what brought me thus far.


Unbeknownst to me, that was going to change. 

No caged rat was ever caged forever.

It either dies in there or find means of escape.


But in my case, the means came to look for me.

It came in form of three big boys that peddled down my lane,

Leaving me in a quagmire of emotions.


Bolu, Benjamin and Bami.

A trio with the first name B holding them together.

Held me by my heartstrings without a word.


Bolu's laugh, Benjamin's assertiveness and Bami's kindness,

Were like a massage to my aching temples. 

It was surreal but real all at once.


Why was I behaving like a fish in water?

Why was I acting like they were different?

Why was my heart dancing azonto to two men - three men?


Should I bring it to mind that I was a church girl?

Should I go for deliverance to purge these feelings from me?

Maybe, that's the answer, an immersion of water.


But Bolu just talked to me.

But Benjamin just winked at me.

But Bami just helped me up.


I was thawed with confusion. 

I was like a snake wondering when to strike. 

Loving there men at once was never in the sights. 


It seemed too spicy to my soup.

I may end up purging if I carried out my thoughts.

For no one could stand all the lovers at a go.


A foolish thought penetrated my mind 

Maybe,  I should just date them separately?

Jumoke! You need deliverance.
