CO- WRITTEN POEMS

1. ANGER

Co- written with Sheila 'Thato' Papo

(Myself)

It makes love to my peaceful mind and corrupts it
Violating the forgiving person that sits within me
Dreams at night are marinated by the need for vengeance
With every minute that passes builds resistance for acceptance
These walls that I sleep within are a horror affair
For I still walk around with smile and hatred as a pair
Did I walk upon this earth to be shown these tests
Tests testing and texting me to test if I will protest

(Sheila)

It builds up inside me like a volcano ready to explode
It's growing more powerful in me with every word and I can't control
It's dreadfully eating  me like a dog eating a salty bone
It speaks in hot words  that provoke my heart to the core
Bravery doesn't lie in taking revenge
It lies in me finding a way to forgive and forget  what has been done to me
I forgive I forget but anger is busy hacking my mind and my heart like a hoax message
This anger keeps me from knowing and getting closer to the man upstairs
My anger is frustrated, confused and irritated and will explode like thunders in a stormy weather

(Myself)

I'm drifting from pillar to wall trying to adjust to this agony
I'm dining with pain and it's playing music that I'm playing to its melody
My mind is fried in hot oil of temptation to refuse to forgive
I step out of the oil to a meeting with relentless motive
Motive to drag my feet at any attempt to revive the angry me
And I feel blood flowing unto my eyes and I can't see
My heart wandering about realsm of rubbing shoulders with danger
Danger that prophesise that I shall forever be trapped in this anger
