About Me

My photo
Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
I grew up in the dusty streets of Soshanguve, a township in Pretoria; South Africa. Grew up with my mother who is an amazing woman that raised my brother and I all by herself. For curiosity reasons, my parents are divorced and my mother is just amazing enough to look after the both of us. I found out at a young age that I'd lost my sister and faced with numerous other challenges growing up, poetry was my way out. That played a big role in who I am today and has earned me a few achievements,the biggest being granted the opportunity of being a published poet in an Anthology called "Daybreak" and having earned other achievements and also making a start of writing for a few artists and producers. I'm too a daughter, a friend, an aunt, a blessing, a miracle, a lyricist, and therefore, a lyrical miracle. I'm not unique because I'm not like everyone else 'cause everyone's unique... Get me?? I love music, i love drama, i love basketball (i DO play it but I'm no player), I love my mother, I love myself and my first love, i love poetry...

The Collapse By The Black Shakespeare

My faith is shaking.
And i still keep breaking.
My heart is pounding.
My fears surrounding.


With its insensitivity it grabs me.
It won't let me free.
There's no control as it overwhelms my soul.
Carelessly it pulls away my goals.


I try going against it all,
but in the process, i stumble and fall.
My love i try and reach for,
but i've become weak to the core.


Only hope will get me there.
I'll continue fighting, i swear.
Thats what my mind thought, as my body gave up.
And so against all these odds, i would not rise up.


Am i really being crushed? Perhaps.
I cannot do more. I let go and collapse.

Imagine a mysterious force dragging me away.
The pieces of this beautiful spectacle, will lay astray.
As though i have not existed in this lifetime.
All you'll remember of me, is once upon a time.


I need u now, help me out.
Here's a wish, make it count.
Dnt throw yourself into it, wait for the night.
U knw it's me, u knw it's right.


Wish upon a star to see me again.
And when u do, forever yours will i remain.


*You're the place where my life begins and the place where it will end.
So in all the time that might lapse,
i will stay strong, i won't collapse.*
