I wake up early, 🌄
not ‘cause I’m chasing dreams,
but ‘cause hunger doesn’t snooze.
I step out with hope in one pocket,
and emptiness in the other.
Nairobi, be gentle today please.🙏

I’ve dropped CVs in places you can’t fathom.
I’ve prayed for calls that never came,
I’ve smiled in interviews like a CEO,
then walked home like an intern.😔
But still, I try again… Always.

I have loved honestly,♥️
I have been loved back, or so I thought.
I have shared peace that wasn’t mine to keep.
But in this city sharing is caring.🫂
Love, just like wifi, is strongest where it’s not yours.

I laugh with the boys,
loudly, too loudly sometimes.
We joke, we talk football ⚽, we talk life,
but behind every “bro, uko aje?”
There’s a man holding himself together with pure vibes and Inshallah.🤞

I’m too tired but I’m still here. 😩
I’m too broke but I’m not finished.
I will keep showing up, even when life treats me like a forgotten dream.
‘Cause one day, eh? One day…
My story will change and I’ll laugh for real.😂
