Humphrey Haji Luvumbi Poet Rhyme

Mistake

I've always thought I'm a mistake
A freak of nature that's why,
i prefer being left alone to make
My own path where no one will pry 

For eyes have been glaring since my fall
It's hard not thinking you not a mistake
Cause everyone can see you always trying get over the wall
Onto the other side hoping that things will be different, but it's all fake 

I've always though I'm a mistake
A product that left the line
For I was eager to come to make
The most of what life has on the line 

For whispers grew to noise this days
With people not afraid to speak their mind
With many advices on different ways
That I'll get healed or atleast faith I'll find 

I've always been called a mistake
That's why everyone is trying so hard
To let me know that there's a way to make
All this go away, saying I should give up what I had 

But don't call me a mistake
Cause I ain't one, I'm just misunderstood
That's why people come up with theories to make
Me look like I'm no good

Fire Bird September 10, 2023 at 9:03 PM This poem is very relatable, I am very self-conscious and always think everyone is judging me because I got bullied in primary school, I always think I am a mistake and that I don't belong anywhere, but my friends always encourage me. Thank you for this amazing poem that expresses the struggles that most people go through. (Shout out to Jaiah and Bonnie, you make me feel loved and worthy, thank you.) -Phoenix :)
