I Believe | Mugwena Khodani

I thought I knew life
Understand and explicate it
But I never knew life
I never explored it
Thus far

All my life I grew fond of people
People who ptyalised me
Like an old chewed gum
I lost faith and hope
Cried day and night
No one noticed my pain
But still, I believed

People surpasses
Waving hands and giving me nasty looks
Like I'm an old dustbin full of trash
Look,! Look they can't even sympathise me
Am I smutty?
Why doesn't someone notice my pain?

I began to crawl
Stand up and walk along the wall
A stranger appeared
And held my hand
I don't wary him
He looks like a faux

But, He saw my pain
Restored my belief and strength
Healed my wound and gave me
a second Chance
To prove that ,I can
And I believed

Poet's note: I wrote this poem for all the poem who used me to gain access to something they need and after that they left me like i meant nothing to them
