Jm. 1996 (Cape Town)

Free verse
I have so many questions.

And even if I get the chance to ask you all I wanted to ask. I will never get the answers I was seeking for.

It will be a rundown story of you apologising for hardships and that’s not what I’m looking for.
I want answers.
Answers dammit!

Answers on all my why’s? Or do I really ?

No.
I want a grown up conversation between two grown up that made a lot of mistakes in the past but knows better now. Who’s wiser now. Truthfully now.

That’s all I ask.

About this poem
