Damn! Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

Damn!
How did I get here?
So young yet so old.
Filled with fun yet so bored.
Warm heart yet so cold.
Whoever knows how actually we get here?
Happy pictures sad people.
Full of strength yet so feeble.
Guilty minds need no acquittal.
So how did we get here?
Full of people yet so alone.
Famous people yet still unknown.
Sadness is obvious yet never really shown.
But this isn't just another sad poem,
Just a series of unanswered questions; like how did we get here?
I just woke up but am so tired.
Put in all the hours yet I still get fired.
I swear this life isn't the one I desired.
So now we are just circus clowns or walking Zombies,
Drowning in our own sorrows or alcohol bottles,
Doing drugs because these Degrees never seem to take us any higher.
Just big smiles yet filled with pain.
Sun's out but we can see the rain.
I just wish I could be a kid again.
