A Struggler's Words, He Walks
()
About this ebook
He used the love of poetry to share his life experience, beliefs and dreams, as well as where he is heading to.
Thapelo Desmond Selwane
He was born and raised in a village called Jane Furse, Sekhukhune District, situated in Limpopo Province in South Africa on September 9th 1986. He found his voice in the 10th grade during his high school in Lengama Senior Secondary School. He grew up without a father and just like any other illegitimate African child, life was hard and dreams looked impossible to reach but he chose to go agaist the winds. He sold vegetables pillars on a well-known street of Pretoria called Van Der Walt with his brother on weekends and after Matric exams, and he then used that money to enrol to study Law at Tshwane University of Technology before he got a Financial Assistance on his 2nd year of study. He got his first paid job in October 5th 2009 and didn't stop dreaming. The courage to write this book came from a hard push by his colleagues after presenting his poems on Fridays at work when things weren't going well and on the special occasions.

I’m happy that I live in this period!

I remember
I too want to…
I will break loose
I WILL CALL IT A FAMILY
I would know
In my dream
Is she the one?
It’s time
Mommy
More than planned
My beloved hobby
My room
Never be the same.
No more
Now he walks
One of you is a devil
Poverty
Presume you a loser
Prospective soul mate
Should I walk away or walk through?
Somehow I knew
Spiritual power
Stay away from doubts
Still standing by my word
Stress free but confused
The first time we met
A sign of a good manager
This feeling
This is it
Together
Too late
Towards the sunrise
Undefeated spirit
Unlockable door
We are in this together
What have I done?
What is hope?
What is love
When close people betray
When she comes
When the morning comes
Where I grew up
You too can do this
A break through
Over loaded with worries
Under a massive stress
On a clouded hill
Yet dreaming still
Looking for a way out
Waiting for a miracle
With the swollen eyes
After a long cry
Then an angel comes
Encouraged him to break the ice
With a soft say
And a deep voice
Did as he was asked
Only then he realized
That’s a break through
A Change
An unexpected change can be very scary
A change beyond your control can be nerve wrecking
More in particular when you are inferior
But when you have it in, you worry less
As courage and confidence can take you there
When everyone else in swimming in tears and shaking to death
You need to find a way to deal with it calmly
If you cannot deal with it yourself,
Then you know where to ask for assistance and strength
He will never leave you, nor forsake you
A change isn’t always something to be afraid of
And isn’t something to be taken lightly either.
A man made change that looks unfair towards everybody,
That looks like was made by someone with more power
And made it because he can
This is a change that one needs to consult with the Master Himself.
Try to reduce changes if you cannot effectively adapt
Or change your attitude towards a change
Or a change will
