An August Thought Poem by Zolani Nkomo

I Feel Liberated but like a True Slave
I've Been Conditioned To Having a Master
Somebody Please Capture My Heart
PS. Signed: The Hopeless Romantic

The Expectations Of a Frustrated Youth
I'm Sorry For Laying My Burdens On You

And Pushing You Away Was Not Intentional
But You Pushed Me To a Place Where I Didn't Even Know What My Intentions Are
You Keep Doing That
Sending Me Mixed Signals

And I Got So Little To Say
Even Saying 'I Got Nothing To Say' Is Too Much
