»You matter, No matter what!«

by Shylet Noma Clint Mncube, February 6, 2018

I was thrown on the ground, rejected & cast away
they thought I did not have value
in a dumpsite where my kind belonged as they said
I was rejected
But I knew who I was and what I possessed
what I was carrying inside of me, was greater than to care about what they say.
Dirt pilled on me, day by day
But also light came
And I remembered when you are the light you cannot be hidden.
Seasons came & gone I survived I watched others producing fruit,
some withering & dying,
but because I knew I was carrying something I kept holding on.
One day my season came, I did not produce one fruit but I produced many to feed a nation.
Now who matters?
No matter what, I matter!
Current situations are temporary
Your value is NOT defined by what you going through
A R100 note will always be a R100 note, no matter who it goes through or what it purchases.

YOU ARE VALUED, IMPORTANT AND YOU MATTER
YOU MATTER, NO MATTER WHAT!

When I was but a young girl I just loved opposites, then I didn't know they attract. / Defying the odds and always being the odd one out, now I only find out it's what they call gender. / Female, feminine, phenomenal are words I started understanding when I became a young woman. / Pubic, puberty is not  sign in to read more »

I love lonely hearts. / I hate faithful partners. / I love married women and men they are my easy target. / Temptation is my trend. / I hate it when people block me. / I love teenagers who are going through adolescence and life challenges. / I hate it when they abstain. / Guess who? / / I lie but who doesn'  sign in to read more »
