I Wrote Poem by Naledi Sibisi

I Wrote



When my heart spoke,
I wrote.
When my walls broke,
I wrote.
When the earthquake in my voice immobilized
and the magnitude was unidentified - my body froze
and I had shelved toes and I wrote.
When my feelings were postponed,
I wrote.
When I could no longer trust my own,
I wrote.
When I incarcerated my tears and liberated my fears, to pen
I was prone and I wrote.

When I can no longer recognize these eyes that are lies,
I write.
When I need to understand my components of feel with all my might,
I write.
When I need to glide but my tears miss flights,
I write.
When humanity is having a lie-down and I command only the attention of the night,
I write.

Not a soul to pry nor a soul to spy;
Embarking on a journey language and I.
These secrets within me - these words I never spoke;
until the day I wrote and wrote and wrote.
