A Struggler's Words, He Walks

By Thapelo Desmond Selwane

One will notice while reading this book that his journey was mostly sour and he only kept believing that "He who is before him is greater than the world against him" Eddie Long.

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.

Prospective soul mate

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
