Unspoken: Expressing My Life’s Story Through Poetry…

 

In tender years, life’s storms began to rage,
A matriarch’s loss, a heart’s turning page.
Four and a half, with my sister by my side,
Left in aunt’s care, our father went abroad to reside.

South Africa’s call, a new life to unfold,

But stepmother’s shade cast darkness on…

POEM: Poverty and darkness

POEM:

Poverty you are so cruel

Poverty you take away joy

Because I’m a woman

Because I’m a woman

I’m a feeble craft

I’m sketched as a property

Designated as a commodity

Procured and delivered from one house to another

 

Because I’m a woman

I’m a second class burger

I’m by no means valued

No degree of significance is annexed to my personhood

 

Because I’m a woman

Attached to my attainment is limitation

Conjectural

Blessing Musonda’s Childhood Trauma

I have dedicated my life to helping people understand childhood trauma, redefine their perception of behaviour, and make tangible changes in their approaches. There’s truth and growth in pain, but only if it is brought out into the open. This is my story. I have often avoided my past,…
