Not Matching With Your Standard Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

Not matching with your standard

You can afford,
Afford on, expensively
Hear my cry, I'm about to say a word
Words out; carefully...
I've been thinking, take a guess (Moment for you)
I know.. I'm...
Not matching with your standard
You've been too good
I've been so too, I hope
Look at you,
You dazzle,
At times saddle,
~||~ One day I'll walk down the isle ~||~
Tis my wish,
Wish since...my work, work
May be to dish
Dish down your dignity
Dirty? ? I am!
Poverty fortified me, , ,
Tell me
Who am I?
I to be close to you?
I know,
Not matching with your standard!
Now you're drifting away (Soulless me, thinks!)
Is it so?
Or is it I?
Sorry for befriendingparent less me...
Not matching with your standard!
....
