Out Of A Pit


It is not strange to anyone that so many times we fall, but not everytime do we rise up and dust off the dirt on our body and move on.

In the past 2 months, I have seen and learnt that no matter how deep the pit you fall into is, there are some good people who are ready or willing to save you from dying in the pit. So they render all necessary help to get you out of the mess and breakdown.

Unlike Danielle Steele, this is no fiction. The last 8 weeks of my life showed me that even those who you love can turn their back on you and it also gave me a justification to why loners trust no one.

Like fugitives, I have ran from my mistakes, because I don't want to sleep on the mat of shame. I ran because I didn't want to face the shame and the scornful pity of haters. Again like a fugitive, I slept only where I see that I could lay my head on. I didn't sleep on beds or rugs, I slept on sand, benches, cemented ground and on cold carpet. But I knew that these were building a tough me for another tougher circumstance.
In my case, I sought refuge from 'my loved ones' but only few could be called that. The person you so believe in might have no strength to rescue you in trying times. I have been broke, I have been "molested", I have been betrayed but here I stand today to put this post here, just to show that though I wallow and cry in my pit of shame but good people gave me ladder to get out of it.
Deaconess Falade once said, "Gbotemi, you do not know who loves you, you can only boast of whom you love." It is a pity that I had my finger between my teeth before deciphering the knowledge within the phrase.
Some people gave their everything to make me happy. I remember Tosin, Segun, Rotimi taking me out to drink, just to forget the misery, wonderful people! Whenever I think about all these stuffs, I say to myself, Kunle you are a special being and I am destined for greater things, so whoever rejects me now, turned down an offer to enjoy from my greatness.
I don't want to mention names in this post because I'm no fuji musician. But to all those who stayed, thank you. For those who left, God bless you for leaving, you just gave space for other wonderful people to come in.
Even in this pit, I got my ex-best friend back and also I had the chance to meet the person who has always wanted me.
And once again my spirit is lifted and I have a happy face plus a gladdened heart.
