Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
I have always wanted to be a grown up
I thought it was 100 percent easy
But it turns out I was wrong , I am not sure
Yet but I have an uneasy feeling about this.
Highschool has been a rollercoaster ride
It was fun but sometimes it was painful,
There were times when I felt like quiting
And times when I felt like staying forever.
Now am about to finish highschool and
I am somehow confused as to what is next
What am I going to do with my life next year?
I am more than confused really
Back in my mind I am starting to realise
That being an adult is not as easy as I
Imagined it to be , next year I will be
On my own it seems , god be with me .

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
I am fat ,I am trapped in my own body
The pain I feel can not be compared to anybody's
Everyday I wake up I feel heavier than yesterday.
I am somehow unhappy but they don't see.
Wherever I walk people stare like a cyclone is in town.
The names they address me by are more heavier than my body.
It's like I am in a far away place of which I scream and scream but despite my screams no one can hear me .
I have no one to blame but myself in this state .
I am unable to be a normal teenager furthermore .
I am unable to live life ,yes I am breathing but I am dead.
For a teenaged girl to live like this is a trauma.
The process of losing weight is much longer than gaining it.
Thus making it difficult for me to look like a model.
I also would like boys to stare at me like I am Beyonce
Fat is the devil in a physical form ,he is constantly attacking me.

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
My love my better half my everything
Today I am looking at my reflection in the mirror
I try hard to find that minor change in me
That is visible to you but not to me .
It feels strange somehow to think that we were
High up in the stars and today we are so low that not even the the sky is visible , what have we unleashed on yourselfs
But actually you are the one who choose to jump to ground level.
Your love for me is fading , I don't understand
Wasn't I your Queen somehow I was not looking when
Someone else stole my crown , you adored me even more than goddess herself , I guess this is life .
Whenever I was sad he used to try by all means to bring a smile on my face , I can not start to tell how patient he was with me through everything , he had my back like no other
But somehow all that changed , he changed or maybe I changed.
I can't let you go ,No considering how scarce someone like you is to find , what should i do to make you stay but also I don't want you stay especially if you don't love me anymore
Go on be with her if she makes you happy but always bare in mind that I love you.

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
She was raised in a place where it can barely be called home.
At night if the third eye is not activated you will wake up dead.
Attempts to save her mother from crossing over are being made.
She moves out and starts searching for a place she never knew
She is a women now , she is tougher then before , her bones are heavier
What she wants she gets unlike before when she had to beg for it
Power to her who has seen and been through it all and is still here
Determination is a definition of her , she made it with her faith
She meets her soulmate , in Paris he proposes in front of all the surroundings.
Life can not get any better than this, she bets . everything was worth it
He does the worst than having an affair , she feels shattered
A gun is in her hands , she points it to him without a blink she fires.
She glares at other prisoners as they keep themselves occupied.
She regrets non of her actions that brought her to such a place
She sits on her bed and laughs like funny events keep taking place
She is mad . it has come to this it seems , what lessons did her struggles teach her ?.

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
Every Night You Come Home Smelling
Like her tenderness, when i ask i become the
Guilty and you the innocent "okay am sorry
Let's drop" and with a cheeky smile you head to our room .
Ancestral ghosts appear to me every night
"he is lying"they assert , i hear them but i
Do not listen .nay i know they are telling the
Untruth, they were not there when you asked me out.
This feels unreal i do not believe the newspaper
That they are selling me , i won't even think of
Buying it , but the cover page seems so real
The front page is made of a hardest hardcover
But still i won't buy it , i don't have time for such.
Even the wind has the tendency of lying to me
These days,No! ! I can't take this anymore love
Tell them yourself to stop since my voice is thin
All of you stop lying. The ways of the untruths
Is not right stop or you will kill someone,
You weren't there when we first met
You do not know us
There must be a good Justification for the
tenderness smell of her
But unloyalty is not one of that i trust him
My doubts level can never reach my love and trust
Level so once again shut up

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
I want the day to come
When my soul finds its other half
Then will i be at ease
Adoration and love i will give him
In return double will he give me
In the past i paid less attention to passing amusements
Amusements of which i have no time for
The thought of jumping from one to another makes
Me shiver in mismorality ,therefore i will only wait for him
Whom i have not met but exists
In the prison cell of which i stay ,only i have the keys
In the prison yard i glare through the fences
Waiting for him to free me
All he has to say is "i am here now" and without
Question of who he is i will hand over the keys to him
Together happiness will be a definition of us
We will break down the fences that try to grow between us
On our wedding night we will dance until
The night strips me of my innocence
For now i will glare through the prisonyard and wait for him to come
Until then i will fold my arms and watch other lovers as well as
Passsing amusements pass by outside the fence while i wait.

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
All i hear are Followers chanting my name
In my hand I hold a pen that indicates how far i've come
Am happy on the outside but inside it isn't the same
I feel powerful outside but inside I am weak.
Let them praise me ,let them follow their leader
Whom they think is fearless and flawless
Haa if only they knew how fearful and flawed she is
In a way I am doing them a favour by wearing my masks
I give them hope and courage ,most of them want to be me
I guess I am a hero and that's one thing am proud of
Gosh I feel encapsulated I can not breathe
The pressure is some unbearable , I feel like I am carrying a bus.
What happens behind closed doors kills me
If only they how not so glamorous this room is
They would die , I can not imagine what will happen
The reality is that the crystals are only white on the outside but dark on the inside

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
First it was mom then it was you
I still can't believe that any of it is true
What you did not anyone else can do
Single Dad trying to raise your girls as best as you could
Everytime I think of you I can't help but cry
in the mist of all this I walk around with a smile
I still don't know why my life has to be like this
And honestly if given a chance I'd give death a hard fist
Dear Death you are more than just a life snatcher
I wish you I could be the one to end you faster
You snatch happiness , love and peace from people
And more over you snatched my will to live
I hate you to such a point that I'm no longer afraid of you.
The only thing that fills my mind is the ifs
I feel responsible for his death if only I tried to get help .
But I was only a child what could I have done .
Unfortunately What is done cannot be undone.
Here I am trying to move on
Here I am trying to reach you
You have crossed over
I can't even touch you or feel you
I'm sorry if I had the power to change your fate but I didn't
I love you and I will forever do so
Until now I've always cried about mommy
But know don't but for you .
It's like I knew death was coming for you
But I took it likely , my carelessness cost you your life .
And everytime I act like it's alright it makes me cry every night
Sorry and I love you

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
My Man is more than handsome .
I am proud of him because he is mine .
Sometimes his face has a bright shine.
Someday I will have to pay a ransom
I love him more than my life
Whenever I am with him I feel alive
I promise you this is not a lie
This tall cutie is my whole life
But I wonder if he feels the same
Somehow I think he thinks that am lame
He thinks that all I want is his fame
Little does he know that is not my aim
I wish he could take a peek into my heart
Then will he realise that my love is smart
But then he does not know and can never
Maybe that is why he brings me such hurt
The reality is i love but he does not love me
I fear that he only lusts me
After all I am not as good looking and well known.
It is not fair to love someone who does not care
There is no hope for such love
I pray for someone more Loving and caring
He does not have to be charming
Because now I know charm is never enough

Natalie Sibanyoni Poem
Alcohol is a substance he loves but at times hate.
He loves it whenever he consumes it during good times,
He goes to every party in town until it is late,
His heart yearns for more than that of yesterday's.
What would partying be without alcohol
Some of us are just like him but somehow we have our own reasons.
Whenever problems arises some to Alcohol and some
Turn to the Bible and then go to that verse that speaks about alcohol and then we also drink because the Bible said we can drink but don't get drunk
Even though you feel like you don't wanna drink you think you are forced because you just want to forget about your misery and have a peaceful night for once , so you drink until you fall flat on your face .
you wake up the next morning only for your mind to jump straight to the issue that made you drink in the first place and then you realize that you caused more problems in your intoxicated state, maybe you caused an accident or damaged someone's property
What now ?
So alcohol only added to your troubles .
