Did I Make You Proud? Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

Did I make you proud?

I've broken my promise
I lied, you were deceived
I've broken the steel
So, I've stood still
I couldn't climb the mountain,
I dived into the sea in hope to see,
All I saw was your tears flowing as the fountain
I'd been mendacious,
Would have been gracious,
Did I make you proud?
I was oblivious
I took it as an obligation
Threw an objection
Made it all go in slow in motion
I delayed it's rotation,
I didn't take your instruction
To whom can I turn to?
Whose like you?
Face, faced down
Saw you, frown
I'd thought of getting a credit,
Credit as I left for an edit
I saw myself as fit,
Fit to be, and took a seat
Sat back and got relaxed
Relaxed and forgot to observe...
Did I make you proud?
