I Got This... Poem by Merlin Mwaura

I got this emptiness dying inside me..
why this emptiness lying inside me,
what glory is it deserving,
what aims, intends on having.

I got this beast sucking blood off my neck,
I got this hands on this beast's bloody neck,
I got this beast feeling in my breath...
I got this beast living an' someone wants it dead.

I got this girl I'll love till my death,
I got this love I have for her breath,
I got this life I know she gives me strength...
I got this voice, am screaming my unrest.

I got this friends far off away,
I got this hatred for the distance here between,
I got this vision trancends all this things,
I got this pain, they will always be away.

I got this motion, I think my daily trend...
I got this ocean, waving in my breath,
I got this notion, am a lion with a tend...
I got this quote from, for my times nature spend.

I got this talent, seeing life, what is true...
It is prevalent you have it too,
Reflecting or even confused do...
I know I got this,
This I got is life...
