One Day Poem by Iphupho The Dream

One Day
[Will Make It]

I still remember my first
time i started writing in poetry
club,
I was struggling to
get fans, fellow writers
and poetry friends,
I was slaving alone,
With no anybody's help,
With sleepless nights
but couldn't make it to the
leaderboard,
It was hard
for i had no shoulder
to cry on,
I used to sit down next
to my table with a pen and paper
in front of my very eyes,
I used to spit out words
till my lung ruptures,
But there was no feedback
coming from fans
or viewers.

All i need is one day,
I don't care who says who,
All i need is just one day.

I spent all my time
in that dorm room trying
to write,
For a recognition in writers
club,
I continued writing,
and someone came to me,
And told me i am lacking
support
and i won't make it
to the top list of the leaderboard.
I've persevered all the wounds that painted sorrow in my heart,
From day one when
they fooled me
that I'll travel the world,
Not noticing that they
try'na steal my work.

I started losing hope
and despair was the enemy
that blinded me to the correct
direction,
For i was pushing alone,
But after i made a special
request with God in 2013,
I started from the bottom
to be where i am,
I met Lyrical talented crew who
introduced me topoetry club,
And signed me as a member
of Lyrical Talented crew,
After that day
my pen name started shining,
And i made it to top 20
in second position of the leaderboard,
Although things became
worse the time
the other crew came with
a proposal for me to join them,
They promise to pay me,
And i had a fight
with Lyrical talented crew,
"Luwie how can you bite a hand
that feeds you"? .

I never left Lyrical talented crew
they're the ones who
left me after poetry club was shut down,
I continued writing
and made love with one
of the crew member,
and 2015 i lost all my poems,
Due to the shut down
of writers club,
And June 15 i got a call, that
the girl is at hospital,
as i came in, she looked at me,
And said "don't cry luwie
when things get worse just give it a smile",
I couldn't accept that she's gone
after I've received a text message
that she is no longer,
I felt like i could breakdown
and cry.

I experienced writer's block
and told myself i am no longer
writing,
But after i logged in
to facebook, i saw a group
called poetry club
And my poetry journey continued
the time i met Kgadi Thobejane,
And kept pushing
up to this far.

All i need is one day,
I don't care who says who,
All i need is just one day.
