Fight For Control

Fight For Control

 

B.C

I know we’ve been together for so long my friend

But this parasitic existence need to come an end

I know that you’ve helped me but I just need to feel like myself again

 

Zizo

Let me make something very clear

Without me

You would even be standing here

When you knees tremble and you feel weak

It was me who pushed you through Quest

Me who comforted you when you felt the cold silence of neglect

And when people told you you’d never be a poet or any of that

Who helped you prove them wrong and made them drown in their crap?

 

B.C

I'm not denying everything you’ve done for me

Lord knows I appreciate your part in my life

But the longer you stay in me the less I feel B

I feel the weight of not being me crushing on my heart

And its getting harder to know when you stop and I start

I finally find somebody worth loving but you’ve stained my heart with streaks of dark

I feel waves of anger flood over and devour what’s left of my heart.

We’ve had a good run

Honestly its been fun

But I just want to be me B.

 

Zizo

Look in the mirror kid

Tell me what you see

Everything you are now

All of the poems, books, songs  that’s all because of me

You sold your soul to devil kid

You’ve lost your right to be a free B

And its not all that bad is it kid?

You’ve lost nothing that you can’t replace.

Loved it .

Beautiful work, Bongani. The dialogue between these two characters really clamp down on the reader's attention. I love the line " You've lost nothing that you can't replace". Great job.

i loved this conversation ....well done

[melissa's heart]

good writing, but when you get on the devils ground you will loose everytime. I think we have all done that a time or two and just end up with mud on a face, but I get the medaphore, good work.

[Coyote Poetry]

Good conversation in the poem. When you dance with the Devil. You will lose. I did like the ending.
"You’ve lost your right to be a free B
And its not all that bad is it kid?
You’ve lost nothing that you can’t replace.'
Thank you for the excellent poem.
