Waylin Van Wyk Poems
- 1. Language Of Poetry
Words struggle to get out of my mouth
I do not know why
Is it because of fear
Or the fact that I’m shy
... - 2. Daddy
There is someone who I wish
Who could hold me dearly
The memories I had with him were rich
His spirit is always near me
... - 3. I Stand Tall
No mountains are too big
For me to climb
No oceans are too deep
For me to dive in
... - 4. Lonely
They say no man is an island
But what about me?
The four corners are silent
Isolation is killing me
... - 5. I Can't Breathe
his knee down on my neck
is it because I’m black?
I felt the weight of oppression
suffocating me
... - 6. Beauty Lies Within
Make-up and jewelry
Are useless to me
My worth and my attraction
Comes from within
... - 7. Tribute To God
In a world filled with darkness
He came as the Light
The fate of man were disastrous
But His love for humankind shone bright
... - 8. Cry To Freedom
Today,I am tired of his hands
He used them to hurt me
I tried to calm his anger
But each time I failed miserably
...
