Stephanie Poem by Simphiwe Nkuna

You were young when you made those decisions
In your head you had great reasons
Or were they just plots to keep your conscious from speaking
I mean... we all knew what you were really seeking
Yet never did we think to hold your from drifting
And now we stand here shedding fake tears to our "broke" feeling
Hearts racing that you turn around so we can spill the tea
Poison tea, our words are sicking
and what's uncool is how we watched you
We was saw you chasing the chariots, we heard the engines
we saw you sell your pride for silver
It's funny because the coins' shine is the reason the light in you flickers
You lied to us, and we knew you were so we let you as we snickered
We even funded you so you can drown your regrets in liquor
Our venom fueled that hunger in you, we were your symbiote
We saw you skipping classes and now we laugh when you miss your period
We used you as our Egos' silly host
it's funny because you now carry the spawn of our influence in your tummy till It's fully grown
The father... He left you
He feared to loose his retched youths so he can play dad with you
That's funny because you keep claiming that he is Dead to you
Maybe that's a fact to you, but to us It's an excuse not to accept that he ran from you
