Well guys, I am pleased to inform you all that I received a letter yesterday from the Poetry Institute of Africa informing me that my poem Dying which was posted on my blog in December has been chosen to be published in there anthology “Venturing Vistas”.
I was so shocked to hear and still cant believe it. Well if anyone missed it here it is again.
Dying
I’m standing here alone in this icy cold room
You have left me in the darkness
Left me here in my thoughts
To feel the pain you inflict
Your words tear open my soul
Your hands break open my skin
I’m failing at this game of life
Losing each and every day
My soul is fading
With each waking moment
I’m slipping into the darkness
Shadows all around me
Disappearing more and more
I cannot see that sweet guiding light
Its been extinguished. You killed it.
I hate you for that I hope your happy
I hope you can sleep at night
Do you even realize what you have done?
You have broken me down
You have killed all the good in me
My tortured soul filled with hate
There is nothing left
I will vanish in all my despair
To be forever lost
