South African peggy radebe born 26 feb 1989 in a farm called hueningspruit in free state south africa born the only childof mom and dad / never sat in one place and therefore it was hard getting to know people easily,so i would write my emotions and how i feel wen im lonely or bored or just write something for a friend jst to let them know that im thinking of them. / / ive never been a talkative person so i let my fingers do the talking for me and it gives me pleasure because alot of people appreciate me and the thoughts i produce on paper
I need myself back I've been to virulent places Beyond my choices Just so that I can please the pack I need myself back I've changed my hair,shoes,clothes, food And went loose all in the name of the pack When did the statutes printed in my mind get erased The conscience that I used to have went blank Oh how I need myself back I dont know how I got side tracked Coz being part of the pack has made me lose tact I have wondered into a world that has me sacked I feel trapped All because of the pack But now I realise that joining the pack Was a threat to myself So I need myself back I want my sense back Ps Radebe.

i need myself back
When life as opening buds is sweet, And golden hopes the fancy greet, And Youth prepares his joys to meet,-- Alas! how hard it is to die! When just is seized some valued prize, And duties press, and tender ties Forbid the soul from earth to rise,-- How awful then it is to die! When, one by one, those ties are torn, And friend from friend is snatched forlorn, And man is left alone to mourn,-- Ah then, how easy 'tis to die! When faith is firm, and conscience clear, And words of peace the spirit cheer, And visioned glories half appear,-- 'Tis joy, 'tis triumph then to die. When trembling limbs refuse their weight, And films, slow gathering, dim the sight, And clouds obscure the mental light,-- 'Tis nature's precious boon to die.

A Thought on Death
Lil Bug living your life on a lifeline running around getting food to survive now you're going around not knowing your fate or if you'll make it home cos you know you're not safe anything & everything is the enemy when it looks at you, first thing that comes to its mind is "time to eat" in a split second you are devoured & its the end so Lil bug be careful, there's a hand & someones feet when they see you all they think about is that "it's time to **** you are not safe Lil bug in this big world that even human beings have difficulty living in but you are very brave cos you swallow your fear and face the world as it is like a soldier in the battlefield you are ready for anything so Lil bug go on living your life cos Lil bug we only survive here on earth by faith SP. Radebe

Lil bug
You played some music & you took a glimpse at me Those steps you took to get to me, had me wondering When you stare into my eyes What are you thinking? When you stare at my lips What are you wishing? When im with you How do you feel? Have you felt like this recently If yes, how come it changed so quickly? Tell me the reason why you want me near What makes you want to see me again? What is it That is written on ur mind That is so unclear but in plain sight When you first saw me Did your heart beat as fast? As the beat you are dropping now as you sitting behind the counter in that seat The beat that I heard you playing that day we met on Kasi streets I can spend my day racing questions in this pool of memory The ones you take me back to when you play those melodies But il never have the answers, only uncertainty So I'll leave that up to you To do the reasoning If you know what I mean

Mr magic fingers
Yesterday I wrote a poem about Ike You see; Ike made me go Weak in the knees Even though His scent made me sneeze But that's just minor things Coz you see His heart was hotter than warm He had a sense of humour Greater than Trevor Noah's Ha ha He had a fetish for feet He said he'll buy me a ring For my toe Its a pity though That me & Ike were a fling That only lasted something like 10 minutes Coz he was waiting for his order At a Mike's kitchen counter As his wife took a departure To the rest room near the storeroom To freshen up n put some powder And returned to find me laughing my lungs out As Ike changed his posture And acted like he was the most innocent man on earth S.P Radebe

Ike
I fell one day and i couldn't get up again My head was there my feet, arms and body was everywhere the worst part is that my heart was uncovered lying over there even Humpty Dumpty's cracks were so neat you could repair i watched my pieces lying everywhere people passed by but they didn't seem to care no one asked whats wrong no they didn't dare as my pieces were lying everywhere My pieces that seemed to be beyond repair but i heard a voice say i am not alone and.. help is on the way These pieces human eyes could not see But God said to me I will put every piece back where it is suppose to be i will fix you because you belong to me i will be there and never go away all because i am The Lord God ALMIGHTY!

my pieces
Particular thoughts tickle my dome like the day my thumb got stuck in my mouth and how long it took me to get it out or when Betty stole my doll but i knew coz i didn't like it at all and when all i ate was a peanut butter jelly roll coz it was the only thing i ever enjoyed it's amazing how i have grown how i've gone from dressing dolls to dressing myself making sure i look good for the boys instead of Barbie looking good for Ken I walk through castles and dont build them anymore dont chase butterflies coz i already feel them in me when Nick comes running along dont believe in fairy tales coz reality has struck me today alot growing up takes a lot of time and effort and looking down memory lane brings me joy when i wake up in the moring and find us cuddling in our spot

MATURITY
like a piece of paper printed-stored in a dark file then -after a while placed inside a shredder that how useless i felt when our love went through the wire it doesnt matter how much i couldve prayed but i had fallen pray of this cycle of life that happens day by day like a piece of paper i got recycled-re vived again as to become useful to somone out there willing to make me appreciated again turning me into something different making me feel useful again pegz (c)

paper
shhh let me tell you a secret a share of my experiences let me let you in on what i do behind closed doors,curtains and walls allow me to confide in you my greatest regrets my greatest adventures my timeless conquests i hope you can hear me for these walls have ears and this secret i have been holding onto for ages should be for your ears only my feelings seem to be burning with passion,affection and attraction my eyes have ben fixed on you since the day i knew you the thing is that im too proud and cant stand rejection but i know that if you were mine life would be like a simple journey out of space back to earth in the sea then out to dry land again it would resemble wonderland you would be that path that shows me where love is again the one who replaces my heart and makes me live again i've always kept this secret coz i didnt know how you would react as i dilute this onto you as a solvent of this deep emotional aura im in would it realy solve this problem would this make you gracefully tuck my body into your arms so that i can feel like no harm will ever come by when its just you and i just you and i
