My life

Balungile Dlamini 1990 (Eastern cape)



I've done the worst
and everytime I think I regret
that the path I've chosen to take
has made me weak
with every decision that I make
like a tap-lick
 a waste to all those
that love me most a rack
At the peak of its foolishness
And thats not nice..

Man I can't miss heaven
cuz I've been praying all night last night
To be right
So I prayed
my pillar of cloud during the day
make this heart made of clay
To stay strong in your way
everyday not only Sunday.
