Millicent Mashatola Poet Free verse

I Was Helped Not Lost

I was lost, held and helped
You may speak none stop but that day I knew it was not wrong
I was held, helped and lost
I faced challenges, by the time i saw him, his face was scrambling, harsh
But i knew the time was right
With his African smooth talking
But now, i know i was held not lost but helped

Speak up for the bright things and future
I was helped, held and lost
As a bright black African girl
I was not deceived i was helped

But though i achieved cause i was helped
Not embarrassed, the dignity-integrity and trust was gone
Even though i was not proud

But i was helped
I was helped
Not lost.
