It's 12:35am
Am I'm still awake!
Why can't I just go to bed?
Don't know.
Let's pray 'ojuju' doesn't come
And carry me away.
But then, can these rats shut up?!
Their squeaks are so annoying;
Guess they're having a family re-union.
Thoughts of THE masquerade come to me.
Vivid images of the terrible thing,
As clear as day they taunt me.
Why did I sit sown with mummy
To watch African Magic?
I should have "kukuma" watched
My Cartoon Network jeje.
Now I cannot sleep.
The shouts of "Amadioha" make
Me sweat in the heat sending
Shivers down my spine.
I alone can hear them.
They exist in my head.
When will this "yeye" NEPA bring light?
The reflection of the shadow of dad's shirt
Hung on the door isn't helping matters o!
But I'll close my eyes and try to sleep.
I must think good thoughts to clear my head.
Yes, good thoughts!
Good thoughts?
Well, only one comes to my mind.
My kiss with Chiamaka in school today.
But am not too young joo
Am old enough.
Shebi am in Primary 5 and am a big boy.
Oya sleep come jare.
Let me take sweet Chiamaka to my dreams.
I'll see her tomorrow.
But for tomorrow to come, i must
Move past today.
I must sleep. And sleep I will.
