Oduetse Gabonnwe Poems
Why have you had to leave me?
I thought we were connected when I first developed in your womb
You carried me for 9 months and throw me away thereafter
I’m all alone with no shoulder to lean on
...
The same guy you grew up with, still don’t know a lot about him
The early days of my life was not easy
Tried to live the good life though it was difficult
When times are hard you are the only ones I could think of
...
It’s been going on for a while
Women experiencing abuse from men
And kept quite about it coz of fear
It’s time for women to come out of the closet
...
I wanna thank you for everything you’ve done for me
You were there for me when everyone was not willing to be there
Because my mother left me when I was still young
You took all the responsibility of raising me
...
I don’t like the way life is
Why has she had to leave this side?
We buried her a while ago but my heart still misses her
I thought she was gonna make it to see my success
...
You are looking for comfort from me;
I sit and wonder if your love is true
I see you crying; Inside I know I'm dying
I pretend not to see your tears
...
Oduetse Gabonnwe Biography
Professor, born Oduetse Gabonnwe,01 September 1981, Pitsong, Taung, South Africa.I am the golden boy who grew up in a slum. I started writing in high school though I was just doing it when I was bored and continued with it during my tertiary and i am still going strong with poetry that is more matured and raising debates. I posted my poems (story-telling) on other websites locally to try and get an exposure in the industry. I would like to thank everyone who sent me comments on the poems I sent to www.poet.co.za. I am determined to publish a book of poetry of all the poems I wrote.)
The Best Poem Of Oduetse Gabonnwe
Letter To My Mom
Why have you had to leave me?
I thought we were connected when I first developed in your womb
You carried me for 9 months and throw me away thereafter
I’m all alone with no shoulder to lean on
Everybody is deserting me (with no friends, family)
I spoiled everything for someone who cared much about me
He did everything in his power to make me happy
Caressed me and gave me the love I never had
But I threw it all away, now he is gone!
I feel like if you were around I could have seen life differently
I never had love from my daddy
And the woman he is married to has never been good to me
Granny did her best and treated me like her own daughter
She gave me love and made an effort to see me happy
But I’m still asking myself questions with no answers
Why didn’t you at least say goodbye?
Man usually don’t take care of their kids
But for a mother just to throw away a kid doesn’t make sense. Why me?
I’m angry deep down and I don’t know what to do to feel better
It hurts me every time when I look around to see everyone happy
And ask God why can’t I just be like those people for once?
Do I deserve to be this miserable?
How do I express my anger?
I pretend to always be this happy girl but it’s killing me
Because I’m not being myself, all the time
Maybe life could have been different if you were around
I don’t know what happiness is
I get haunted every time I think of you
Because I’ve got questions that only you can answer
I don’t think I’ll ever be happy in my life
I don’t have a place I can call home like every body
I don’t have parents who would treat me like I am their kid
There is nothing I can do to be part of their family
Because blood is thicker than water and I’m not one of them
Why can’t you just avail yourself? So that I can be free mentally and emotional
Have a pleasure of having something I’ve been longing for (Family love)
You left me…..
