Bridges by ObinnaDikeNnamdi

It’s not walls that I build, sitting in solitude in the midst of multitude

It’s not walls that I build with my headphones on using my eyes to listen

Its bridges I build

I'm soul searching

Building a bridge into self

Trying to discern self from the rest

Its bridges I build; connecting mind to soul

Connecting heart to head

Connecting plans to goal

Connecting the past to the present, trying to get ahead

It’s not walls I build going sole towards my destiny

It’s me exhibiting my eagle propensity

We are all unique, each of us, in different ways.

So I build a bridge between inner me and outer self

Between inner self and outer me

Searching for the uniqueness in me

Then I search further to discover this;

There is no uniqueness in me, but there is uniqueness in every other, but therein lies my uniqueness

Everyone is unique but me.

Then I walk with my head high,

Knowing that everyone is unique but me

But me lies deeper than the eyes can see

That is why I had to dig deep.

Then, from the zenith of my discovery, I build bridges from self to the world

Fortifying the bridges with beautiful words, because I know it takes more words to hurt than it takes to heal, it takes more words to break that it takes to build,

I fortify this bridges I build with warm hugs, firm hand shakes, soft kisses

I fortify these bridges I build with kind gestures and soothing smiles

Because through this bridges I will bring me out from self to the world,

And through these bridges, I will take into self, from the world;

Inspiration, appreciation, encouragement, strength, joy, laughter, peace, fulfillment.

So you know that I took in more than I gave out and that's why I will never stop building bridges.
