Addiction Poem By Sipho Mlambo

ADDICTION

In life we become addicted to failure

In everything we do, we waste time and energy

We end up failing to conquer

That which is the enemy

Triumph has become our desire

But once we come to the realization

That we are in this earth to inspire

Then we shall begin to forfeit that does not fabricate

But we are given an axe to chop a tree

And we waste time finding a standpoint

Because we care a lot about what people see

And we take into heart their viewpoint

To which leads us into misery

And we end up becoming failures,

Now what should we do?

To remove this addiction and unleash this mystery

              We should believe in ourselves, never lose hope

              And believe that in every situation we shall cope
