I've Learnt Poem by Mbuyi Nelly Kalonji

I've Learnt



I've learnt to be content
With what I possess
To find joy and happiness
In what is mine
It has been an immense task
I persevered and chose
To never give up
I would not tell a lie
And say it was a facilitated
Mission to be completed
I do agree that
I am indeed one of them
One of they that say
"Be content with what you have"
While I myself sought
For things beyond my league
It is perhaps human nature
To give advice
We ourselves would
Not ever live by
It is in fact quite ironic
But then again…
All these are constituents Of a normal human being
