Just A Nobody
By Afolabi Kayode
I’m not Romeo in need of Juliet
I’m not capable of a love like that
Such emotions are not for the weak
Too powerful for my ilk
.
I’m not jack so don’t be my Rose
For I know not how to write a prose
Such feelings might lead me to my woe
And be conquered by my foe
.
I’m not a king so don’t be my queen
Your sadness I can not prune
Your love, I won’t be able to win
From your affection am not immune
.
Be my lady and I will be your man
I can’t promise you the world
But you can rule my world
For your joy I will always seek
To you I will only stick
.
I’m just a nobody
Ready to take up your burden
Kindly be my maiden
Hmmm
