Another Room

By Olufunke Kolapo

Where I am is just another room
Trapped was the feeling of yesterday
Hoping today I find an exit
Now, at this crossroad
Believing one of them is the exit
I hoped
It's just another room
Maybe tomorrow the exit I'll find
My fate though unknown
I trudged to the threshold
Hoping it won't be just another room
I pushed open a door
Then another
And then another
Tempted still another room to find
Round and round life ebbs out
Seeping slowly into the last exit
Could be another room unknown
Still my thought even beyond
A room of bliss for the blessed
