Say My Name 
 I used to think my name was too long. Too complicated. But now I see it’s one of the most beautiful parts of me. This piece is a love letter to that name, every part of it, every story it holds. I mage by Gemini AI Say my name. But say it right. Say it like a prayer that made it to God’s ears and came back wrapped in skin and breath and destiny. Say it like thunder if you must because this name didn’t come easy. It came after waiting, after hoping. Oluwatomiwo God is enough to watch over me. Not just poetry, but prophecy.

How the mighty have fallen

Just there.  Funny how strength can slip Through the cracks of time. Funny how the weak ones Start to rise, Backs straight, eyes wide. Maybe it’s life. Maybe it’s seasons. Maybe even the sun has days. When it hides behind the clouds. But oh, how the mighty have fallen. And how the fallen might rise again. Inspired by a conversation with a friend Written by me Call me Toyo. Or Oluwatee. Or whatever love sounds like to you. Thank you for reading.
