To You Poem by Sakhile Junior Mndzebele

I've evaded and avoided you for a long time now. I guess it was bound to happen, you always were going to catch up with me, and I guess this is it. I hate this feeling, feeling of hopelessness and unwanted, feeling like a thousand elephants just decided to rest on top of me. It's hard when you know what you need and where it is, but you just cannot get it. I know how I feel, there's no doubt about that, but I cannot force you to feel the same. I will not lie and say I will die without you, but surely it will make living less pleasant. I can tell my head fo forget about you, but my heart keeps reminding me. It's like running and you're sure you're getting away not realizing you're actually getting closer than you ever were.
