Who Am I? Poem by Walani Ndhlovu

Who Am I?



Who I'm I in the world?
I ask myself
I'm neither a bird
Nor a wooden shelf

But a vacuum of ignorance.
That describes me perfectly

Being hate by those who I love
And being ashamed of what I have
Being disappointed by my only lover
I even feel better to be judged by my cover
Because inside it's a mess
And the worries about love have made it worse

Darling you know me better
Tell me who I am in the world
I try to think more and greater
But without you I've failed

If I'm nothing in the world
I do not exist in your heart.
