Life

Kristina Bendepende 2006 (Marondera)

Razors and blades shall slit thy flesh
Hot tea shall burn thy tongue
Thou shall have nights with little rest
As heartache devours thy soul
The ones dear ,like a treasure chest
Are snatched by death's fangs
Why ,oh my ,oh lil' ol' me
Is my spirit always sore ?
Pathetic it is ,living is a jest
What is there to live for ?
lest rue consumes my heart

About this poem

Generally ,life sometimes just feels like a merry-go-round .
