A NIGHTMARE

Mihlalikazi Mpemyama 2002 (George)

Free verse
Oh please wake me up!
Tell me that I am not that my baby girl has a father, Please wake me up from this bed and tell me that this is just a dream.
Tell me that my my daughter will be able to say mommy and daddy one day
How am I going to explain top her that her father does not want her, Oh tell me this is just a nightmare!
Oh please tell me that this is not happening, I do have money to buy clothes and food for this little soul!
Oh please wake me up and tell me I am not really on my own!
