My 2018

By: Nomvuyo Gladys Sebeko
My 2018
My tears have formed a river that can’t be compared
To any river that is known to be the biggest
Or the Ocean which is praised to be the widest
My 2018
Heart has be torn into so many pieces
That it can feed the whole nation and still have left-
Overs for the neighbouring countries
My 2018
My self-esteem is lower than the temperature in Australia
Anyone can feel it from miles away and sometimes
It is used as a tool to bring me down
My 2018’
My body has been a home to hungry wolf man
It has carried them from top to bottom,
Made them happy and feel warm
My 2018
My strength has been stolen and replaced
With weakness and fear, the power in my bones
Has been replaced with doubt
My 2018
With all that said, please promise me that;
You will not add on what 2017 has done
But put sugar on my wound and give me Love, Peace and Happiness…
