Nthabiseng Moraba Poet Vaasokht

I’ve been out chasing ghosts

That only I can see
I faced this lonely road alone
I walked this blind street 
With a faultless mischief 
My fears withheld within
A stranger to myself
So I embraced my shadow
And prayed for quietness 
in my head!

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 21, 2026 at 9:39 PM A raw, introspective journey through isolation and inner conflict. The final embrace of the shadow feels especially moving—a hard-won gesture of self-acceptance and a longing for peace.🕊 Nthabiseng Moraba August 22, 2026 at 10:17 AM I couldn’t have said it better or even expressed it better than you did. Merci’ Alison. Geniet💕💕
