Embedded within.....

Poetry by: B. Msimanga

                        Title: Embedded within.....

 

So it is what it is....or was it?
This thing, or rather precious GIFT called life
has been somewhat filled with rocks, stones, and gravel chipped pavements, 
Dusty enroute to the future, watery itchy eyes being scratched....
At that....
Each and every single moment of thought and breath brings new revelations
New findings and at times saddened reflections.... 
I stare into the mirror at my reflection,
Scrub so hard, 
Beecause of my past, sorrows, hurt and bad habits
Chained patterns,
That caused me to fall whilst smiling to the world,
Unknown to my inner demon.......

 One day it, that was, became effortless....
Waking up to realise that being fine and content with a better you
fresher awoken, neatly folded YOU 
Without ruffles and stuffy smells is all but alright......

After your re-assurance, 
Your sense of overwhemling words, that clogged my heart....
With sense....common sense.....
Chunks of it flowed through,
I had felt that all could be achieved, conquered and brought to light
For better days....

At times as people we need that being...
Who will lift us off tainted foot paths,
And place us on TRUSTED paveways....
It is just that, TRSUT , that we lack within ourselves.....
That inhibits us from freedom....
And deters us from happiness.....
YOU have found a way with me that at first....
i could only control.....
AND....

Now with my flaws and commencement of a fresh me.....
I commend YOU for allowing me to breath....
Maybe the very same thing that i thought i had......within me.......
Was actually what i lacked......
So that which it was, will never be.....
For a healthier US has been EMBEDDED in me......
