By: Nyasha Celeste Makombe Thee Poetic Raindrop
You took advantage of my young mind
Made me believe that I can’t exist without you
Penetrated the deep walls of my mind and created a place for yourself
Within my lost and wondering soul
Oh poetry !
You unleashed the greatness hidden within the rotten me
For I was only a living corpse
Left mumbling with a bitter heart
Reaching for only what mortal eyes can see
Defined by scars, doomed by my past
Lost in place and time ruled by greed
You took me into your tangled world
Gave me a voice
Left me on a mission
With a vision to tell stories untold
Oh poetry! Be not proud
For you have stripped me naked and left me wondering
In a world full of emotions
A world defined unjustly by words
