Life With Dolapo

You’ve taken territory  Of my heart  And thoughts  With little to no permission  Still  My heart skips  At the thought of you  As though it’s surprised  Each time in the 24 times  You wander into my thoughts  In the 24 hours the day has. A cardiac rhythm problem  As in  A failing heart  Or  A heart falling in love ? Ifedolapo

The weather lately  Has found a way to Mirror my mood. Lots of rain  Lots of growth Weeds and flowers alike But no sunshine. Because, you, My sun Has decided  to shine  On another planet. Ifedolapo 

I am writing to you today as a tired Block 1 Path and Pharm student who seems to have bitten off more than she could possibly chew at once in the past few days, weeks even. That student is me today; it could be you tomorrow.  I hope that from reading this, you’ll learn to accept the lows and in-betweens in your journey to becoming, just as I’m learning to. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you “Falling and Flying.” Learning  Learning lately  It’s absolutely okay  To fall  While trying to fly. Accepting  Accepting gradually  The pain  The discomfort  That comes with the bruising  That comes from the wounding  From falling  Patience  Exercising patience  With my timing  With the journey  And the delays  To flight  Taking  Taking breaks  Because sometimes  That’s all the fix I need. Trying  Constantly trying, Never giving up  Even in the midst of  Tiredness  Nonchalance  Discouragement  Because  For me  Flight is Inevitable Ifedolapo
