Black Book (Grey shaded Thoughts)A Poem by Vincent Makhathini
I'm a closed book with no pictures outside
Whenever someone tries to open me I tear I wish I was like others who don't get affected by the rain and ever changing weather They are loved and read with care and admired for their strength And that I lack because I dwell in the past and it hurts To see others being appreciated while I remain alone in that hard, Cold shelf My trust has been tainted and therefore I rather be alone and just hold on to what I have Most of my lines are blank, but no one is worthy to even draw a doodle on any of them I am black, and am not sorry for that and I remember being listen in a black book for misconduct Peep the irony I am a closed book with no pictures outside and inside me remain unfinished thoughts speaking about my past my peoples history and the blood river whose tears still flow and the moaning never stops © 2015 Vincent Makhathini |
