Literary Corner: Mystical Myth by Ewatomilola Adagbada

The​ ​mystical​ ​myth​​

​Everyone​ ​belabours​ ​to​ ​make​ ​sense​
​of​ ​things​ ​and​ ​situations​
​To​ ​realise​ ​what​ ​it​ ​really​ ​means​
​to​ ​have​ ​lived​ ​well​

​Some​ ​feel​ ​it's​ ​about living long​
​to attain every height​
​Some feel it's about​ ​being happy,​
​you'd hear them say​
​"it's not how far, but how well"​

​Some feel it's about experiencing​
​every of your desires,​
​not minding how long it lasts​
​Some feel it's about struggling,​
​just to stay alive and well​

​While some feel a little bit of all,​
​the struggles, the gayness,​
​the moments; good or bad,​
​the journey, the accomplishments,​
​the craving to know which really is right​

​But really, isn't it just about​
​who we are, how we feel​
​and what we want?​
​Isn't it just about comprehending​
​the idea of "individual differences"?​

​Shouldn't we all just live our lives​
​based on our own convictions?​
​Even if that was wrong,​
​satisfaction is​ ​guaranteed,​
​isn't satisfaction the point of it all?​

​But what if one side won't satisfy​
​some,​
​what if a little bit of all is all some want,​
​does that make them confused and imperfect?​
