Thank You Daddy...for Your faithfulness.
Faithfulness to Your word & promises.
Yes I was a mess, yes I'm not perfect
and I now know I am nothing without You!
For it was when I was in the darkness that
Your light shone on me so bright.
out of the darkness of my heart,
You poured Your love, forgiveness,
patience, perseverance, endurance
and all that I needed to get out of the tunnel.
when all my hope was nothing but despair,
You gave me a hug
letting me know You would never leave nor forsake me.
when all friends and family rejected me, blamed & humiliated me
You took me in & called me your daughter.
You then bathed me, cleansed me and made me new again.
You taught me Your word & assured me
wisdom, peace, rest, & victory over my enemies
and when You finally said: I love you...I knew for certain
it was true 'cause of Your actions. Daddy I love You
not for what You do but for Your very genuinity, it makes
me whole & Your love perfects me.
Inkululeko
There's nothing more liberating as setting your record straight about how you feel and getting your opinions out there. POETRY gives you that platform; the freedom to be! Inkululeko.

rendzweni ra hina misaveni
hi va hundzi emisaveni
ku hava lexi ku nga xa hina
hambi ku ri vana, hambi ku ri vanghana
hambi ku ri varhandziwa va hina
mintirho, timali kumbe
tindlu leti hi ti vitanaka
makaya ya hina - a hi swa hina
hinkwaswo; hi khomisiwile swona
swa xinkadyana
u nga ti vutisa u ku:
'swaku swi ta endla yini?
kumbe: xikongomelo ku ri yini?
kumbe u ku: hi tikarhatela yini
loko swi ri tano?
hi vahundzi emisaveni, ina swi tano!
Yehovha wa hi khomisa vana
leswaku hi va hlayisa, a hi khomisa
vanghana leswaku hi dyondza rihanyu
hi vona a tlhela a hi khomisa varhandziwa
leswaku hi ta kota ku vona ku matimba
a hi ya hina...
eka hinkwaswo, mhaka 'yikulu i ku
N'wi tiva, na ku ka hi nga rivali
ku N'wi xixima, ku N'wi tsundzuka
eka swiyimo hinkwaswo leswi hi nga ti
kumaka hi ri eka swona maendzweni ya hina

your true colours
I know your true colours
they shone so bright in my sleeping
face I was almost blinded
when I awoke this morning
I saw your true colours
when I wasn't looking
at night they were so bright
and very colourful I wondered
if it was really you
It was your true colours that
helped me realise my strongest
points; my best abilities.
As I struggled to get up from
my sick bed
that's when I really knew you
that's when I really saw you for
who you are
it was then that I embraced my weakest points
for the realisation of the real you
gave me the REALITY of standing alone
in my rainy, darkest, stormy days!!

My love for you
killed me; left me chopped
into pieces, smashed to ashes
left me empty &eventually
I disappeared into thin air!
I had to find myself
and when I did
my heart was just an
empty hole...
couldn't remember who
I was. My name made no
sense to me, wasn't sure if
I belonged!
You left me scarred
you left me bruised..
with nothing but the fear
to live, the fear to love again.
You ruined me, wrecked my
feelings into meaningless pieces
You made sure I never existed
again in the name of love..that
as far as love is concerned I'm
never there__Yet I love you still!!

making that choice!
i held myself hostage;
the fear of having to
be held accountable for
what would be, kept me
locked in these
psychological locks
i feared for years
to be responsible,
scared of what might
have been had i decided to . . .
i was held hostage
by the fear of being
held liable of what
could be should
i decide to . . .
and now i fear that
if i don't get out
of these boxes, i'll
forever be a hostage
of my fears
i refuse not to choose
i choose to cast my
fears into a box where
they can no longer
hold me hostage
I choose to make that choice!

Mash's ego
so your mother is a freak right
your grandmother is by her side
and i'm on my own
while you still decide
i have no reason to fight
i shoudn't even dare to. .
i'm as i am with
nothing to say
I love you, I really do
you got me addicted
you got me hooked
only to let me hang myself
Mash i loved u
and you let me. . only
to leave me standing here
in the rain by myself
with all that you gave me
everything i went through in
your name;ni vuyela ndzhaku
not with shame but the
pride of ever truly loving you
in my head,in my heart
underneath my skin
my soul will forever be with you
my spirit wil forever be reminded of you
and that's a promise!

growing old!
it's when years start adding
days becoming few
and one starts living life fully
when challenges begin
to entice your brains
that without them life
is boring . . .
it is then that one
has grown; then that
one has become . . .
it's called growing old!
