Felicia Kekana Poems

Dear killer
First I would like to introduce myself
My name is Dikeledi mr killer my mother gave me that name after my father died she said I was the one who dried up all the tears she cried.
I was turning thirteen this year. I was going to change the world this year
...

Dear mama
The world still hasn't noticed that you are missing, or that I'm missing you,
Because although you are gone the clock still ticks, and the sun still sets in your absence the moon still welcomes the night, the stars shine bright,
But not bright enough.
...

They say the world is coming to an end

But from where I'm standing the only thing coming to an end is humanity
...

One day I will wake up in the morning

But never lay in bed at night warm, under my cosy bed sheets that cover my blood flowing body
...

I wish I'd said it sooner, maybe the sound of my voice would've convinced you to visit longer,
Perhaps the Angels would have let you stay over just one more night so I can tell you over and over again just how Much loved you, love you yes I still do,
I'm just so angry at the world for not understanding my pain
Not giving me a chance to explain
...
