Nomaphelo Lange Poems

Is it worth the pain I feel all the time,
the anger that drives me insane.
Is it worth my inner bruises I feel,
the tears that isolate me from the rest.
...

The time I acknowledge your presence in my life,
I got all kinds of emotions that intrigued my being.
The time I felt you around me,
All my fears came alive and started living.
...

A inquiry that borders me all the time,
No one can answer at all.
A mystery that can’t be solved,
Private detectives chuckle in my face.
...

Am I angry cause you left me at birth,
Cause you said I was not yours.
Am I angry cause my growing up was not good,
Cause I didn’t have everything I wanted.
...

Why play pinball in my life's,
you are there when we are born.
along the way you vanish for no reason,
you allow us to grow up not knowing you.
...

Is this defined by what we wear on that occasion,
or by the brand that designed that outfit.
Is this defined by the colour of our skin,
or by the mascara that we put everday in our face.
...

When I know that I love you,
but afraid to show that to you.
When I get this shaky feeling,
but not sure of how to make understand it.
...

I wood clime the highest mountain,
cut the ocean and sees into too.
I wake in the middle of the night,
to watch your little cute face.
...

This yearning in my heart
This confusion in my mind
The words left unspoken
Haunts me all the time
...

When I first saw you
I was afraid to meet you
When I first met you
I was afraid to kiss you
...
