🎶Ta lo ba mi romo bi ti baby mi
Mo ni pe Omo dun Omo tan,
Omo fakoyo Mo ni ko s'omona Bi ti darling mi🎶
Ani se Omo dun, omo tan, omo namopa Ara eba nkorin o🎶🎶
The atmosphere is peaceful, and this song floats melodiously in your ear. Every lyric drifts around, leaving goosebumps in its wake. Despite not having the best of voices, you sing this song with your whole heart. It makes you feel cherished, as if love is permeating the humid air.
You smile, you chuckle.
For the first time, you gaze into the mirror and see a captivating reflection. You believe the image is radiant. In disbelief, you look again, confirming that it's still the same person standing there, serene as the ocean. You caress your face, affirming it's truly you!
Ani se Omo dun, omo tan, omo namopa Ara eba nkorin o🎶🎶
Imaginatively, you hold your iro and and dance slowly and gracefully.
Ara eba korin o🎶🎶
Orekelewa Omotemi o, my forever sweet....
She pauses, recalling the map on her skin. The cow patches, the bleaching agent, the white and black in disagreement. She shakes her head between regrets and self-pity. Her ignorance led her down that path. She sees the way her skin contradicts, and she sighs.
Memories flood back of taunts and jeers, "Dudu" they would cruelly yell.
She gazes at the bleaching agent on her desk and impulsively tosses it into the bin.
She is done. Done with self-hate. Done with smearing chemicals on her body.
She sighs.
She dances around the room.
She feels liberated.
For truly loving your body is liberating; it liberates you from self-hatred.
She giggles and smiles.
My forever sweet valentine,
Olorun orun lo sowapo, Lagbara eledumare o, A o ni tuka ase o.
Love is in the air.
She hopes the love for her body remains intact.
She hopes she nourishes her soul to grow.
The next time she goes to the supermarket, she glances at the bleaching agent and gracefully selects "cocoa beauty."
For her beauty is radiant
My forever sweet valentine...
Light transitions into darkness.
