A writing journey
I grew up writing poems,short stories and I have 3 unpublished fiction books since I was in grade 7 till now.Life can bring wonders if you enjoy it doing things that you love and I decided to choose what makes me happy,poems exposed me to different emotions, feelings and to see things in other's view of life..it also makes us realise who we truly are.

Izingane zethu.
We kept quiet
we stood still
while they fulfilled their own will
they took them to places
unknown places without any trace
and yet,we are told to have grace.
Children are exchanged for goods
mothers are left heartbroken
scared of what may come next
who will go next,when will the pain go.
Don't you have hearts?
Don't you have families?
Don't you have empathy?
Is money worth other's sorrow?
Others' grief?
Don't you have empathy for izingane zethu?
