I Drifted Further And Further | Jane Thembeka

Everything seems so strange now I'm burried in my own thoughts I look across the room and see my mom but I feel I don't recognize he

Everyone telling me I've changed but think I've just grown I look at them playing in the sand chasing each other like a flock of cattle then I realize I don't belong

Is it so wrong I find comfort in my mind my silence, my space and my peace I guess I've changed after all but I still believe I grew

I wish for my mom to hold me for her to caress me, to kiss me with warmth but I know that's not me anymore

Poet's note: This poem is basically about my life, I was a playful child growing up but it suddenly changed when I found the world of books. Then I became one with my imagination but drifted from those around me
