a life, regardless

a life, regardless

A Poem by Matome Masipa
"

The weight of what tomorrow holds for me, was a burden, but still I was thankful

"

I did it all for the glory lord.
But please forgive me if i ever insulted your grace.
Forgot my family as a reason to exist in this place.
Its good to be nothing and still have someone to adore and embrace.
Am just man I have regrets and am full of mistakes.
From lifestyle, to love life, and being thankful for this year's birthday cakes.
I need to keep calm so I can float on top of life struggles, so I don't drown like I do in lakes.

Turn the lights off every night;
Cause darkness is a passage way to dreams shown before spirit's sight.

And Nightmare's are a reminder to want the grass to be greener on the other side,
Instead of death and night terrors that swallow us deep Inside.
With all the sadness piling up and happiness lost from the world outside.
I open my eyes but its all out of sight.
And so I pray your wisdom is the one guiding me through tonight

Maybe she will, maybe she won't
You never know, failure is a fish you not sure if it will bite,
All you can ever do is only wait for the wind to take you like a kite.

For what is life, if you see but never touch or enjoy the delight.
Why listen to people tell you it ain't yours, but your conscious knows that does not sound right.

Am alive, so to my knees I fall feeling a little blessed.
Being alive is no reason to ever feel stressed.

the eggs will one day hatch if you keep them warm in the nest.
The pursuits, are pursuits, if you keep to your journey west, if its west.
And always be grateful your not the one being put to rest.
Only you can make your life the best,
Only if you believe I guess.
Either way, Salty or sweet, its still a life, regardless.
