It Was Just A Dream Poem by Wilbur Motholo

K.O I was knocked!
That's all the description I have after losing a parent(s) ! ...

At a young age I was...that's when life took advantage of my defenseless state...

If I were to imagine my heart I would say only a potion of it remains...

Only that potion that marks my existence!
Floods of tears drowned me each night I lay myself to rest until I had them no-more...

Each time I see her in my dreams it feels so real that my life feels like a Dream...

Each time I have a moment with her I only wish that I could tell her that everything 'Was Just A Dream'...

Tears in me have dried,
Pain in me has frozen,
Disappointments to me are just mist,
Challenges are part of my diary...
A diary of a mad black man written in my heart...

Survival has become my main priority,
Giving-up my last resort,

I take my life as it comes...ones step at a time, To end all these darkness and coldness she left behind...

Wish I could wake-up in this madness,
Wish I could wake-up in this nightmares...
Wish I could wake-up...

Wake up and find her...
And tell her...
Tell her that all these...
Madness,
Nightmare
And...separation

Tell her that...It Was Just A Dream
