Naked
Bare and revealed to the world
Contours and hinges of your curves
Naked to a point of shame
No remorse to the imperfections showed
Naked not seen through glass
Revealed truths to its history of handling
Told stories encrypted on the skin
No colorful paint explains it better
Historic traumas laid out for glow
Baring fruit to the beholder
No clothing for the famished body
Unhidden ways of life
Naked I bared myself for you
Only for you to behold the imperfections
Lying on the ground blending my skin
Here I am no lye to what you see
My name sad out loud with pride
Skin color not a prerequisite
Naked to your world and mine
Open to my ways of life.

Mapaseka Prudence Tshuwa Poem
you heard me cry
but did not come
i pleaded to you for love
You waved goodbye
i am done
i am over
i am gone
i am under
you called yourself a lover
you sad God loves
you failed to love me
you moved me to shame
i am done
i am over
i am gone
i am under
shame on your judgement
shame on your beliefs
shame on your mis-placed anger
shame on your actions
i am done
i am over
i am gone
i am under

Mapaseka Prudence Tshuwa Poem
Lost in the world of the dead
Carefully hiding yourself image
Masked face to hide scars
Self inflicting wounds to release pain
Are you done yet?
Hide, and hide, and hide your sorrow well
Dwell in your inclined premonitions
Don't move, you might be found
Gorge food to a point of disgust
Are you sad yet?
Mimic the moving shadows
Getting further to your dark side
Hovering whizzes of your breath
You are lost, you just found out
Are you getting the point?
Unknown world to your soul
This is another windows of the world
Losing balance with every step taken
Calling sounds not heard
Are you serious? You are lost!
Remembering the 24 hours acts
Smiles of poeple you've know
Sounds of crashes and screams
You see yourself lying there
Are you crying?
Behold the acts of losing your life
Bending backwards to please
Done,done you are gone
The light beams from the horizon
Damned are you.......? You might be found.

Mapaseka Prudence Tshuwa Poem
SMALL
SMALL CRIES I TAKE BEFORE I SLEEP
‘IS IT THE ANSWER TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS?’
I ASK MYSELF
SMALL PROBLEMS FOR A SMALL PERSON
IS IT NECESSARY TO SHED SMALL TEARS?
SMALL EVERYTIME I AM IN PAIN
‘ARE MY SORROWS TOO SMALL TO BE CONSIDERED IN HEAVEN?’I ASK THE LORD
IT IS TOO HARD TO GROW, IF GROWING MEANS GETTING THROUGH PAIN
I SOMETIMES SEE LIGHT, BUT TRY HARD TO KEEP IT BURNING
LOST IN THE MIST OF LIFE, LOVE AND FEAR
PLEASE HELP ME LORD, I AM JUST A CHILD.
