Condemnation of the mind<br>
So I’m scribbling this letter<br>
To make it all better
<p>These words might sound sad<br>
Like goodbye forever<br>
But they‘re only meant to bring you blessings<br>
Think of me from now wherever you are<br>
Don’t cry, but laugh in hope, son,<br>
‘Cause hope is all we have to hold.</p>
<p>For now, son<br>
I’m packing my bags,<br>
Hopes dreams and aspirations<br>
These seats don’t hold answers for me no more</p>
<p>I’ll be facing the dusty roads,<br>
Tackling the uneven crags’<br>
This promises to be an unpleasant ride<br>
But for you, child, I’ll face the grotesque</p>
<p><strong>BIO: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ztyutula1" target="_blank">ZANELE NELLY TYUTULA</a></strong><br>
My name is Zanele Nelly Tyutula. I was born the youngest of 9 children (of which three have passed) on April 17 in the year 1984 to Eunice Dambisa Tyutula, my mother, and the late Rabson Ebsom Moyo, my father.</p>
<p>I started my schooling at Witkoppen Primary School and went on to attend five different schools from primary to high school until I finally dropped out in the 10th Grade.</p>
<p>I grew up a quiet reserved child. I was more of a loner and got bullied in primary school a lot but found it hard to relate my pain, fears and troubles to people and family in fear of being mocked.</p>
<p>On January 1st 2001, my eldest brother who meant a lot to the family, passed on and the pen became my solace. I started writing poetry seriously.</p>
<p>In 2005 I gave birth to my son and the same year I started working odd jobs.</p>
<p>Some of the poems I write are letters to my son, filled with love.</p>
<p><strong>JOURNEY INTO POETRY</strong><br>
As a young child I’d draw pictures just to ease my mind. But as I grew older, I somehow grew out of drawing. However, I still needed a friend who would listen quietly. That friend I found in pen and paper.<br>
I found poetry, metaphors and stanzas as a remedy whenever I feel down. So writing has been my therapy. Whenever I became frustrated, I recite my poetry out loud.</p>
<p>At the moment, I am still an aspiring poet, trying to find standing ground. But poetry is my life, the only thing I believe in.</p>
<p>That’s why I’m grateful for platforms such as this where poetry is shared and comments given for the growth of a poet. I believe someday I’ll be looking back at this day with a smile of gratitude. The day when I’ll be on world stages performing my poetry.</p>
<p><strong>EDITOR’S NOTE:</strong><br>
<em>When ma’am <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ztyutula1" target="_blank">Zanele Nelly Tyutula</a></strong> came unto the WRRPoetry scene, I was rather held aback by the consistency of her comments. She always had a kind word to offer to every single poet…and their poems. She would most times be the first to comment and would stay back to respond to follow back with replies.</em><br>
<em>Funny enough, she never asked that her poem be featured until I personally got unto here case and forced he to submit one. The poem got several comments and many were amazed that she had remained in the shadows for so long.</em></p>
<p><em>We share a lot, as far as life experiences are concerned and I found her a kind soul. Ma’am Zanele’s calm and responsive nature would make one think she has had life as a bed of roses.</em><br>
<em>I’m glad I know her and I hope her dreams become reality faster than she hopes.</em></p>
