Fitting In 1

HEAVEN

Isn't that the place we all strive to end up?
How come we find it difficult to do what it takes to get there?
Why do we let the so called "trends" "lifestyle"
"what's in vogue" "fitting in" take over what's important?

Why do we worry so much about fitting in?
Why have we made life harder than it ought to be?
Everyone's becoming a doctor...
must you be one?
What if your path is different?

You've traveled thousands of miles
to seek greener pastures
but have you accomplished what you came here for
or you've lost the sense of who you are in the name of fitting in?

Have you let worldly desire take over
the heavenly fire that ought to be in you?

Everyone is a "bigz girlz"
You want to be one too
You want a house as big as Emeka's
A car as sweet as Toyin's
A bank account fatter than Big momma
Perhaps you've had to omit some birth names
in order to let your numerous degrees fit into the forms...

Sure, we all want the best fruits life has to offer
but did you know toyin started off at burger king?
I bet you didn't know Emeka was born with a silver spoon.

Why are we forcing ourselves to be like others?
Why do we fail to appreciate
what we've accomplished?
Why do we see the good in others
but fail to see the great in us?

If you've been striving hard to get there
Know that you will get there and even go higher
if it's God's will for you.
