Call Home Poem by Zolani Nkomo

When I'm Feeling All Alone
I Call Home
Mothers Voice Ignite These Bones
I'm Stuck In Routine
Why Am I In Routine
Somebody Please Intervene
I Already Know My Dreams
It Sucks Waking Up
Tired and Feeling Like a Slump
I Wanna Be Forever In This Dream
Forever In A Sleep
Quiet So Innocently
It's The Only Place, I Can Have Her
Routine
Under a Microscope of Scrutiny
What's Keeping Me Going
I Think Not Knowing
I Tell Them That I Bleed
All They Wanna Do Is See
How When The Wounds Is Internal
Fire Rage Inside Inferno
I Look Ok but You Don't Know
