I Feel Like... Poem by Sboniso Siyanda Manqele

I feel like I wrote these lines before
Maybe not but I'm using same words, so
It is every poem with same story
If my writings ever made you feel like,
throwing up, I'm sorry.
I feel like my writings are perfect
But nobody recognizes that
It is hurting, can you imagine that?
I put my emotions into art,
my feelings, my soul and my heart.
I feel like dying, sometimes like trying
That is when you skip this page,
I spent time on writing so you could read
It is critics that make my heart bleeds!
