First, it was drawing.
I wanted to be the best.
I spent hours on my floor with my sketchbook,
Filling it with broken humans.
But then, I abandoned it.

Next, it was baking.
I wanted to be the best.
I spent hours in the kitchen with my cookbook,
Making a recipe of disaster.
But then, I abandoned it.

Finally, it was poetry.
I didn't want to be the best.
I didn't want anything anymore.
I spent hours at my desk with my notebook,
Pouring my shattered heart onto the paper.
But then,
After I had tried so hard,
And given so much,
It abandoned me.
In Allah ya yarda

We stand tight and firm
To protect our city, kano
The Great and giant city,
A state of farm and land
A commercial and nature
The state of religion, with
culture and no racial sect,
is a city of peace and fair,
So help us Allah.
Kano my city my state

Safana - The Poet✍️
May 13, 2021

Mark the date
To celebrate with
my pen and finger
The day I begin to think how to be poet, though I never carry a pen between my thumb and finger but the decision and fate have been made, that I will...
Book and humans
...were friends for
so long ago,

Let's read a beautiful
words on a beautiful
book
It's a world Book
📖
A man go
on his hand
is a mango
Man go with a mango
A mar yam
on the floor
and swept
by a maryam
The weight of an unrequited love
it feels so heavy-
It's probably the heaviest weight of all
I wonder if that's why my heart is so strong
for my best friend.
