Pain Poem by Iphupho The Dream

PAIN

Once upon a time
I dreamt of being happy
I thought in this path I'm heading on
I will find my refuge
Never did i know
It was the begining of my Pain

It's as if i have lost my way
As i embark this path
For i hardly see where this road is heading
Its as if I'm sleeping and its hard for me to wake up

I do not know if I'm dreaming
Or I'm living a dreadful life
I can hardly see the light
My days are so dark in a way that i fail to distinguish between day and night..

Like a mad soul
I keep on hearing voices in my head
Screams on my ears
River beating of my amour
Whenever i close my eyes i resemble a life i never lived
And as i open them i urge a dreadful life filled with pain and sorrow...

Its as if I'm trapped inside four walls of forlornness, pain, regrets and disappointments
Had i known that in this life "one cannot determine his/her life
But only life can decide " i'd have been more careful when making decisions...
