Sandiso Mhlanga Poems

If I could change what I did, I could
Undo mistakes that once seemed good
Regretful thoughts fill up my mind
As I long for a chance to rewind
...

Freedom Day, a day to celebrate
When chains were broken, when we became great
A time when shackles fell to the ground
And we were no longer bound
...

Love at first sight, a fabled tale,
But in your eyes, it did prevail.

A single glance, a moment's time,
...

God, help me, I'm drowning in the depths,
Lost in the sea of my own regrets.
The waves crash upon my weary soul,
As I struggle to find a sense of control.
...

In dawn's embrace, a verse is born,
A melody of thoughts for morn.
With ink and quill, I'll paint the skies,
And weave a tapestry of sunrise.
...

Help me, oh dear world, I plead
For I feel lost, alone, and in need
Of a guiding light to lead me right
Through the darkest of this frightful night
...

When I thought life was getting better,
The world turned upside down.
My dreams and hopes were shattered,
As chaos and despair came to town.
...

I thought I was worth it,
A precious gem in a sea of stones,
But now I see the truth,
And I am left alone.
...

I thought you were my friend,
The one I could always depend
On through thick and thin,
But now it seems our bond is thin.
...
