Lessons in life

Lessons in life

A Poem by Ayanda Mteto
"

It is only when we are reminded about ourselves we unlock our potential.

"

 

There are so many reasons

Why you still lament in pain

Turning all the pages

But see no proof of living

What makes us stronger is what makes us weak

It is the speech within us we speak

 

Our goals are scored with a faithful mind

That believes life is worth living

Turmoil is the reason we are stronger

When we feel pain

We value the joys we once had

 

A child flying a kite dreams flown high

It is in our childhood we know how to have fun

Play with dirt

And not be worried about the little smudges

We are locked in our prison of principles  

 

Life is free and all it brings

Without rules to holds us bound to the system

Driving inferiority customised

As our own

Life expresses freedom of emotions liberated

In fear and judgement

"It is in our childhood we know how to have fun
Play with dirt
And not be worried about the little smudges" Such raw truths exposed in this piece..The imagery was amazing and I was hard pressed to find a line or two that remained my favorite as I loved every thought and word.
