NATURE AND ME

I fell in love with nature,
But she didn't do same,
She opened my face to shame,
Neglecting the value of my culture.

I wasn't a failure
That the world thought I was,
But nature allowed my flaws
Affect my stature.

I stood for success
As much as I could,
But nature restricts my progress,
And an house I couldn't build.

The world took me for a fool,
Because they weren't in my shoe,
As nature pushed me in the pool
Where quitting was the only clue.

I am Emmanuel
