Questions I Asked Myself This Week - 2
- What light, could possibly come from me?
- What do I do with all this pain, where do I take it?
- Who can I tell, who can I talk to?
- Was I too harsh, too quick to judge them?
- Oh dad, will I ever stop missing you?
- How long will you keep running in place and calling it progress?
Answers :
- Gentle correction: the light I possess doesn't come from me to begin with. I do not have light I was made light, I can neither ignite nor put it out.
- Ah, but look at all the pretty art I've made from it.
- I can only speak it in whispers, the hunch of my shoulders. My pillow dampens and withers, from all the secrets I've told her.
- No, I did what was best for me then. And I'm happy you've changed, that you left your old ways but I will never be the home where you stay.
- Sometimes I like to pretend you are a mere train ride away, that I'm just visiting family over the holidays. That you're alright and all in one piece, that we're gonna be just fine, you'll see.
- My battles are silent and my victories are shy. But I am moving, too fast for the naked eye.
Thoughtful and Beautiful. Merry Christmas Naledi
