I SHALL BLEED NO MORE

for more than twelve years i have bled
Fought against forces forged in the ferving flames of the fires of hell
Either I fall apart, live a life of fear funk and lie fallow
Or choose to live another day, with faith and freedom in my favour
Well the questions I had to answer were never simple
A labyrinth of options designed to make me fail
But my mind was strong and never feeble
So I made it all my  simple.

Fight fire with fire Sondlane was my functional choice,
A choice which I was determined to father and  further farther
Ignited the flames of hope for only they could fuel my flight
Optimism defined my  glass hence I always found if half full never finished
Filth I scorched  and offered a new fragrance of flavour
My zeal and will they could never favour,
To them it  became a fever
One so irresistible it had them fidgeting
For sophisticated, fresh shinanigans  fashioned for my demise

From the unforgiving jaws of death I emerged ,
And became the 21st century Lazarus
Stunted growth,
I made Zaccheaus look like  Goliath in my time
Involuntary fasting, scars everlasting, life’s pains flourishing,
Bones crushing ,teeth gnashing ,troubles increasing, loved ones vanishing and families fighting

Their mistake was the time they left me to burn in the fiery flames of the desert
For the same flames formed to torment my flesh and burn me to ashes
Fed my insatiable hunger to survive,
Like a furnace I consumed  it all and forged a steel of my liking
Never was i to give up and offer them the satisfaction
In their circle my name they could not fathom but  could only fear
The vast traps they laid, furnished my rise
Sparked a wild fire
Uncontrollable and filled me with desire
To burn whatever challenge I face and not tire
To overcome any storm, no matter its magnitude

I will fight without seizing, i vowed to my self
For only through perseverance can i fulfil my destiny
I will fight fearlessly against whatever forces come my way
I am determined to steer through any weather
To persevere and conquer for  Victory is what i have in mind
Patience and time are by my side
I will not burn out until i have fulfilled my life’s purpose
Call me Nyamezela, for it translates to Persevere
Perseverance is my middle name and i have my life to prove it

for more than twelve years i have bled
Fought against forces forged in the ferving flames of the fires of hell
Either I fall apart, live a life of fear funk and lie fallow
Or choose to live another day, with faith and freedom in my favour
well it was that simple
I chose to live to fight another day,with faith and freedom in my favour
so belive me you when I say
I SHALL BLEED NO MORE
