Twenty years later
but I still remember
that horrid smell
your smell
Twenty years later
and I still haven’t
told my story to anyone
willing to listen
Twenty years later
and I still hate you
and pray you aren’t
hurting someone else
Twenty years later
but I still remember
your smirk
and your wicked smile
Twenty years later
but it feels like today
you broke me
and left me scarred for life

I’m Mariam — writer, explorer, observer of life’s quiet and loud moments. I started this blog in March 2017 as a self-discovery space, and over the past eight years, it has grown into a home for everything that moves me and hopefully, something that moves you too. Here, you will find poetry, reflections, travel stories, lifestyle pieces, motivation, inspiration and Lagos restaurant reviews all written with honesty and heart. Enjoy!
