Masego Nkuna Poet Prose

Collision

I wish life came with a manual script to assist us not to bleed while defining our emotions 

I wish somehow when the word love is uttered, there is room left to ready one to bid farewell to welcome the departure of a loved one along with their feelings 

I wish people never became victims of opening themselves up
I wish opening yourself up never meant opening wounds for collecting scars of love 

Sometimes great things last for a moment and that is ok 

I wish setting back time was possible for shutting feelings while detoxing away the poison filled in the world

Somehow words mean nothing when so much of hurtful ones can be uttered 

I wish there was a way to ready our hearts for failure and live our lives to the fullest knowing that even if we bleed, our numbness can never portray death
