fear

fills me

chokes me

controls me

consoles me

haunts me

daunts me

mocks me

shocks me

taunts

me

wants

me

sometimes

gets

me

but

it doesn't impress me

nor does it distress me

alung'fakeli istress shame

and i'm not even depressed, neh

it could never consume me

coz mina i refuse - please!

ukuthi

uvalo lung'khuthuze umphefumulo wami...
