Oh! I Did It Again Poem by Sakhile Junior Mndzebele

Oh! I did it again.
Searched for pleasure in sorrow.
I feel it draining all my energy.
Inside me, it seems so hollow.
Somebody please give me a remedy.

There's no one to blame but me,
Into my itchy eyes I put chilly hoping to feel better.
Took my strength and my all.
Nothing else to do than say 'it doesn't matter',
I was made to suffer after all.

Oh how stupid I was,
Picked up a snake hoping for a kiss
But instead I got a bite.
I never got any bliss,
But hey, it shed some light.

So now I know,
There's nothing much to say,
It's all in the past.
For all I did I shall pay,
Maybe then I'll get some rest.
