That took Guts

Olabanji.

It all started from the moment you were ejaculated.
There were many other cells
But you made it out first
You ran so fast cause you knew your existence depended on it
That took guts

Growing up wasn't easy, but you did anyways.
Living each day and learning new things
Shedding old skins and growing new wings
That took guts

Sometimes the trials l of life tried to break you
But you refused to back down
It tried to steal your smile and make you frown
But you never let your guards down
You looked it in the the eye, and called it a clown.
That took guts

Remember when you were naive and clueless?
Yes, you were didn't take life with so much seriousness.
You dared to dream even while your life was quite reckless
That took guts

Many time you've locked yourself away from the world
Embracing your pains like a shoe would hold its lace.
Shedding tears shouldn't be a thing of disgrace.
It's okay to cry because
It takes a lot of guts

When I first met you all I saw were flaws
And then I realize that's exactly what makes you spectacular
All those beautiful quirks and imperfections
You dared to be yourself even when the while world wanted you to change.
That took guts.

Do whatever your gut tells you.
At the end, all you've got is you.
Being alive isn't easy either
But you dared to live.
That took guts
