These are the sour sides of my soul. These are the prints that flowed from the hard places of pain buried underneath my skin. These are my happy days, and grace full ones too. This is me- broken, raw, in need of love lubricating my lungs and searching for a space to truly belong. These are the parts of my being: struggling to breathe and exist wildly. These are the fragments of my soul: a beautiful chaos loved by a Man before time began. This is us- broken, yet whole and complete. In this poetry collection, I share my struggle with hardness, anxiety, disappointments, love, and comparison, and finding hope in God. - Teniola Ifeouwa Adebayo. (Writer & Creative)
