Broken

Broken

A Poem by Lehlohonolo Lichaba
"

the feeling of being trapped in your own body.

"

 

If only there was emergency door out of loneliness,

Emergency exit out of  this world so hopeless,

Nobody told me it would be this much,

That one day I would long for that warm soft touch,

Nobody warned me that this burden would be too much for my shoulders,

A weight too heavy to carry,

A mind so strong but, a heart too weak to handle the weight,

I wish I could cry it out,

 But breaking into tears would only show weakness, loneliness and emptiness in me,

The inner me crawling and screaming trying to get out,

Only if there was someone to hear me and save me,

Only if there was an emergency door to escape this emptiness,

My world crumbling all around me,

No way out for my poor broken soul,

I would give anything, even a single word to make me whole,

If this is a dream can somebody please wake me up,

This is not how dreams should be,

Pinch me until my skin is peeled off,

No happiness, no glory no happy ending,

If this is my story, my tale, gaze deep within my soul and you will see,

 It’s  only ruins, remains of what used to be me,

It’s my world which is still within reach.

i feel like i am drifting ,falling into an endless pit,

my hand stretched out hoping someone will save me

but i am alone my life is without a Savior.

I look back,look at the portrait of what used to to be sunny days

but the picture is vivid its without a face.
