None

I’m my father’s bone Like father like son I’m my mother’s joy Yes, I’m a mama’s boy I’m Petronella’s lover Her partner, under cover Her answer at the end of the phone When she means to moan I’m Peter’s best friend His mentor and confidant We go out with friends I’m theirs on the weekends I’m never alone even on my own I’m attached to everyone To myself I’m unknown To me, I am none In me, there's so much to uncover I'm hard, but fragile like a flower I'm shallow and deep like the ocean Everyday I search for Thabang (this noun) I’m something to someone I’m not my own person How can I be me When I am in spite of me I exist for more than just me I’m everything to all that I must be I’m a member of this team A part of thier dream
