my love
by Katlego Mashiloane

my heart is full of love and fear
i'm not sure what's the reason,
probably because of the things they say about us,
I don't know
why i have to care what people think about us
rather than what we both think
of us.

but they are my friends
they are my leaders and most of all
they are my family.
why do i have to choose people in my life,
that don't always get along?
i always look at things my own way
and it seem to be why they always say
i'm wrong.
i grew up as a full time christian,
but when i did grow up i then saw
things differently,
i realized how much i miss most of my life
only concentrating on my spiritual being.
i lived my life as an angel more than human
and the worst thing that happened
is that i realized that
i'm a girl who loves other girls.
