life
life is so unfair
like spilling water down
feeling lost like a tree
without roots
life doesn't have instructions

people grow their bright future,
but I grow a heart full of lies
I hear a sound of a girl crying
from a dark cave
dying to meet the world
outside
crying like a guitar with broken
string

life doesn't have instructions
but you make your own rules
never underestimate
the power of unity

by Nobubele Madonsela.
