My thoughts
Break me down
And build me up,
They give me hope
And shatter my dreams.
My dreams of words
The words
That start off good
And end up bad,
They tell the truth
And state the lies...
The lies,
That tear me apart
And break my heart,
That cut me deep
And put me to sleep.
To sleep with fear,
The fear
That holds me back
And sets me free,
It carries my past
And captures my future.
A future filled with love,
The love
That holds me tight
And lets me go,
It calms me down
And lifts me up.
Up to a place with my tears,
The tears
That show my pain
And hide my joy,
They break my heart
And tear me apart.
Apart from life,
The life
That pulls me down
And raises me up,
It puts me on a cloud
And sends me to hell,
Hell a place of death,
The death
That keeps me living
And stops me breathing,
It takes the good
And leaves the evil,
The evil
That started with
My thoughts...
Break me down
And build me up,
They give me hope
And shatter my dreams.
My dreams of words

And state the lies...
The lies,
That tear me apart
And break my heart,
That cut me deep
And put me to sleep.
To sleep with fear,
The fear
That holds me back
And sets me free,
It carries my past
And captures my future.
A future filled with love,
The love

And lets me go,
It calms me down
And lifts me up.
Up to a place with my tears,
The tears
That show my pain
And hide my joy,
They break my heart
And tear me apart.
Apart from life,
The life
That pulls me down
And raises me up,
It puts me on a cloud
And sends me to hell,
Hell a place of death,
The death
That keeps me living
And stops me breathing,
It takes the good
And leaves the evil,
The evil
That started with
My thoughts...

Mzikabawo Dingalibala: "this is a thought provoking poem,it gets one thinking about all the seemingly contradictory encounters that we go through in life....you can call it a paradox but I call it reality"
