The Reason I Left Poem by Goodenough Sakhile Dlamini

The Reason I Left



Life is a bliss

I only attend shows to benefit
I do things with reasons like most of us do
When they is no reason for me to do some things
I stop doing them.
Like running, I can run to run away from something
or chasing something.
If not that then I'll be insane full of crassness.
I only friend those who have similar purpose in life like mine
It TRUE I've lied to some people just because
there were no reason to tell truth.
Just because i know the truth would have made things
bad or worse.
Just because was only option I had
I never lied to hurt anyone but if happen,
I swear to God I am sorry to those I didn't mean to

I've steal some things in my life to fulfil my purposes and
pleasure, most of those things I was growing up.
Stealing sugar because it more sweeter when it not daluted
And more of other staff
I never steal something that would have hardly affected others badly
I have limits like every reasonable people have.
I swear I never break that door and stole those chrismas buiscuts and sell it. It was my home too why should
I have done that, I m not that selfish as you may think
I never stole that jewellery box, I know my mom is needy but
I never been that disperate to steal so I can provide her.

I've work hard ever since I was born.
Thinking of sending me in jail was real a threat to me.
Interrogating me was real a drawing of line between us
I've suffered alot but I never loose focus of what
I want to achieve in life.
Holding my salary was real a bad idea that
I couldn't hold my self I couldn't think well.
Telling m that I won't make it in life yes
it was a boundary in my mind about my future
but it gave me a lesson to push harder so I can prove you wrong
You never God to decide who fall and who make it.
Going down never sleep on you but on me,
like going up either
Throwing those words on my mom and me was real a pushing me away.
You pushed me till I couldn't look back
You pushed me till you couldn't see me.
You pushed me untill my anger reaches it limits.

But I continue to laugh with you because
I didn't want to live with enger.
Most of the time I think it was the best way for my dreams to rise.
I think it was my way to my destine,
To win fairly you should have lost first or somehow
To succeed you should have experienced faluire.
I dont know if you still believe I stole those things.
But I forgive you even though you haven't ask for it...
I hope one day you will find the truth and find the courage of believing my innocent and be brave enough
to face me and ask for forgiveness.
I become strong every time I face challenges.
I am young and I still have more to learn.
I have experience alots ever since
my mother and father brought me in to this world.
I have a lots to tell my children.
