My Necklace Poem by Vangile Mtyali

My Necklace



The cross on my necklace reminded me of something important
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me that I was stinking
That I was a nobody
That I was dead man walking
That I was I monster
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me that my hands are full of blood
That my feet are full of mud
That I have a heart of stone
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me how many tears have fallen cause of me
It reminded me that I was heartless
It reminded me that I was a disgrace
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me that I was the most selfish person
It reminded me that I was proud
The cross on my neck reminded me that
I was a murder in a direct or an indirect way
It reminded me that I was a prostitute
Even though I don't sell my body in hillbrow
It reminded me that I was a deceiver
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me that I don't deserve to be forgiven
It reminded me that I deserve to go to hell
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me that a man without sin laid down his life
For a monster
For a wreck like me
It reminded me that someone had to pay the highest price of them all
So that I don't have to be tortured for eternity
The cross on my necklace
Reminded me that every time I sin
I crucify him again
The cross on my necklace reminded me
Of the love I have been blessed with
The cross on my necklace
Reminded that I have been forgiven even though
I don't deserve to be forgiven
The cross on my necklace reminded me
That I have been bought with a price above all prices
The cross on my necklace reminded me that I have been freed from slavery of sin
