Fanche Rhodesse Poems

Who made you the judge?
For criticising and blaming people for their errors.
Who made you the judge?
To tell people how to live their lives.
...

When the challenges of life break you down,
where do you go to for repair?
When life around you is crumbling,
who do you rush to for help?
...

Don't try to fit in.
Stand out.
Don't change your hair
to look like them.
...

Rejoice in your rejection.
Don't feel left out.
When one door shuts, another one will open.
Don't get angry because they don't call you.
...

Don't stay in unforgiveness
by drinking poison and expecting another person to die.
Let it go.
Forgiving someone is a gift to your soul.
...

The two shall become one but, I'm all alone.
I carry my burdens all alone.
But the two shall become one it is said.
How about my needs?
...

They never want to let you go
Yet they can't be there when you need them.
It's been ten years of going back and forth,
To and fro with the same lies.
...

Another chance? Not again!
I have given enough.
I'm tired of you walking out on me.
Putting me down to others
...

It takes trust to build love.
Without trust, we have nothing.
It all began with trusting your every word.
And believing you were my whole world
...

I can't hold my tears.
I can't take this pain.
My hero dad is gone.
At five years old, you took me to school.
...
