Why were you born Ayoola?

1996... August 14,
My mom could have been at work,
She could have been cooking
Or better just relaxing...
But no,
She was being told to push, breathe,
"It's okay,you're almost done,she's almost out"

Why were you born,
Tutsirayiishe Laura Mhere?

Was it to fulfil the future pastor-parents' dreams,
The then normal- parents' expectations,
To be the child they read about in the baby mags and "how to parent" books

Maybe for a while...

But 1996 August 14,
Tutsirayiishe Laura Mhere,
Who was later on called Claudia Ayoola,
Graced the earth with her presence.

The future Miss change the world,
Miss I can do all things,
Miss I'll cry now but won't dwell on the past for too long exited her mothers's chambers aided by ceserian cuts and today you all witness her great exploitations.

You were born with a purpose Yola,
Flourish in it
