POEM| A Perfect Stranger

POEM| A Perfect Stranger

I don’t know who you are
or what you do
I don’t know what you want
or why you’re here

I don’t know if you’re real
or if you’re fake
I don’t know if you’ll stay
or if you’ll leave

I know I should ask questions
but I don’t think I care
I know I should run
but I’d rather stay

I know you’re trouble
but I want you here
I know I don’t know you
but you’re a perfect stranger

About Me

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!
