Untitled Poem by Iphupho The Dream

Date: Nov 8,2018
Subject: #UNTITLED...

I do not know if I'm put to test with my emotions
Or my fade is put to tribulations
I do not know if I'm losing myself or my life is melting through the shivering of my eyes..
I long for peace
I yearn for my soul to be free..

For I feel like I'm trapped between my childhood life along with that of motherhood
If I had to be a mother to a 8 months child at the age of7
It had robbed my time of childhood for I thought I was doing the right thing...

Now I'm far away
And she's suffering
I can't seem to be of help to her
My heart yearns for nothing but a wilderness thoughts of cherishment we used to share..

I want to be there for her
Hold her like I used to
Play and watch over her
I want to sleep next to her and listen to her heartbeat while watching her as she's asleep..

I'm not close
And she's sobbing monotonous tears
She's longing for me
I'm dying a painful for not being able to comfort her
Its as if a pain of not being raised by her mother isn't enough
God had to give me a job away from her...
