A kick in the teeth

A KICK IN THE TEETH I was born innocent , Failing to be obedient, Playing during the day And haunting during the night Screaming so loud and repeatedly like a bird. Years grew up and i was reverential. Happiness was shining in my eyes. AND NOW........... EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED! Mother you've been protecting me, You taught me how to fight, Not only to fight but to defeat. You've been working your fingers To the bone . You assured that you protect my pureness. You gave me love, And that love gave me hope for the future I am a big girl. I stand and resist evil. I'm like a soldier in the army I was born to defeat NOT TO BE DEFEATED!!!! But today I stand here Drowning in a river of tears and pains, I was defeated by this illness! This disorder! Oh! I mean MY OWN DISORDER! This illness is now living in me Not only in me, But it runs through my veins. It runs in every direction. Ive had enough because Now it has taken over Emotionally and physically. MY OWN DISORDER ? do you really belong in me? I see how you stopped my body From functioning well No...you've done it all, You are my own disorder , Live as you can! But one day I'll treat you And you'll vanish Just like the sun at dew. You'll be gone forever And I'll be left smiling permanently. Poem written by OPITIMIST MASILELA Title given by TUMELO MALUKA It was love at the first sight, The beginning of the new life, The beginning of new love And happiness. He seemed capable of love. I began to fall in love with him And we were madly in love As our love grew with years. Happiness was shining in us Then everything changed suddenly, He gave me a cold shoulder and I persevered. Can you think of what happened to me while i was in a process of persevering? I lost my sight And i failed to get him out of my sight. The worst comes to the worst And i went up the wall But my inner voice came out loudly"hold your horses!" For the second time"bite the bullet!". Yesterday i was an apple of your eye Now I'm a stranger. Your actions changed, You forgot that i existed, You broke an oath, You pierced my heart And now i feel a kick in the teeth. Yes! It is a kick in the teeth!
