I won’t be another statistic
Some kid who has low self esteem
I’ll raise my hand and ask my question
And sit with a confident beam.
I won’t give others the chance to mock me
I’ll walk with my head held up high
I won’t get mad, angry or sad
Even when they laugh that I don’t know the value of pi.
I won’t be another statistic
Some kid who depends on others to be happy
I’ll not give in to depression even I’m tempted to
And shut myself out when I think I can’t cope.
I’ll not let suicidal thoughts fill my mind
I’ll reach out and seek as much counsel as I can find
I won’t let myself think I’m not good enough
I’ll stand up to my demons even when it seems tough.
I won’t be another statistic
Some dumb kid hooked on crack
I’ll stand my ground and say NO to drugs
I’ll resist peer pressure and get right back on track.
I won’t let heroin and cocaine dictate my moods
I won’t give in and be another drug addict
I’ll stay polite, courteous and not be rude
I won’t let narcotics pass my life’s verdict.
I won’t be another statistic
Some silly ambitionless girl
I won’t be fooled into any fruitless relationship
That’ll dampen my super bright future.
I won’t get pregnant before I’m ready
I won’t allow myself be deceived by any vulture
I’ll take absolute pride in my virginity
And put my hope and trust in the Supreme Divinity.
I won’t be another statistic
Some unruly child who’s not aspirational
I’ll set my short and long term goals
I’ll be a teenager the society finds functional.
I won’t be cowed into doing stupid and wasteful things
I’ll be firm and say NO to misleading friends
I’ll concentrate exceedingly on the greater now
So I can bountifully reap what I sow.
I won’t be another statistic
Some teenager the world doesn’t know
I’ll work hard and make a difference
And bow politely with a smile when people say “wow”.
I won’t be just another Nigerian teenager
Who’ll hide under a truckload of excuses
I’ll strive to be the renowned dogged changer
And make the most of great opportunities.
Yes, I won’t be another statistic
