Iyanu:
Beauty or barricade?It's all in the mind.
All the negativity
Think on it,
An epiphany—
All the hurts,
Just a frame
To hold your pain
And make known
Your own name.
Beauty or barricade?
It's all in the mind;
A prison cell
Or a painter's dream?
Kola:
Beauty and the beast called barricade:
Looking out through my soul's window.
At first I couldn't see beyond the barricade.
Like a beam it filled my vision,
Despair came visiting
Like the unwanted guest it is,
It messed up my psyche,
Then...
I looked beyond the barricade,
To the greenery of the scenery,
The beauty of freedom,
I said to myself:
It's all in my mind.
"Mind over matter,"
"Mind over matter."
The mantra running through my head,
The beauty or the barricade...
