Let Me Go Poem by Maliba Ramatlhape

Set my heart free, sever all the ties you continue to have with my traumatized heart. The one you entered, masquerading as my soulmate, deceiving my mind and leaving my entire being perplexed.

Let me go, let my joy go, and release the happiness you erased with your lies, plots and schemes. That happiness that I possessed when I thought we had forever and only death would do us part.

Let me go, Relinquish my confidence which you destroyed when you took my self- worth captive, making me vulnerable and doubting my abilities to discern the true nature of a man

Let me go, unchain my heart, set my joy free, surrender my confidence, just let me go.
