Imaginary Heroes Poem by Lehlonolo Tshukudu

Imaginary heroes!

Whenever I scream out loud
There's a deep voice within me,
Whispering, "don't be loud, stay strong cause the pain won't last forever! "

I tried to keep calm, yet the rhythm of my deepest breathe kept growing bigger each second I think that I'm all alone. "Hush, don't be loud, for we always within you"

Now this is the different voice that I hear within me, lecturing me in my own life, "who are these people? " I wondered to myself.
I started shivering and my voice trembled, "..how did you get in my mind, or perhaps are you God? "

I stood up straight, trying to figure out on how to face my demons, (forgive me that I called you demons, I just don't know what to call you)
I stood up straight, trying to stop trying but face them already. "(Giggles)You failed already before even you attempt to try"
The deep voice replied to my question that my actions was asking.
