The power of poetry



The power of  poetry
To those who break In silence

You've talked to the moon
Written to the star's
Cried yourself to sleep at night
But nothing seems to be alright

You've tried everything suicide is not even an option anymore
"Qina mntaka ma"at the end of every tunnel there is always light
You leave in a world that is forever evolving  one day you'll shine brighter than you ever been

Looking back at all the suicide notes ,the bullying you've went through and be like god ,god pulled me through it
Im standing,im thriving and im winnig
You have used me but never amused me
I ran out of people to talk to ..i kept quite
I found peace in helping others cause I know the power of silence

Silence shattered me .
It broke me to a point where i could find your tears through your smile
"Qina mntaka ma"sonqoba ngo thando kuphela.

Don't take my silence for my weakness
I allowed you to hurt me cause violence is not what i was taught ...i voice my thought through poetry cause my voice echoes deep down in my heart no one can hear me im shattered
Black is a very beautiful colour but please pull me out of it

"Qina mntaka ma"
