PROLOGUE
It is true that words spoken by parents have a hide effect on our lives , lm saying this because I know what lm talking about . l used to think lm smart deceiving my parents going behind their backs doing mischievous things.
They gave me every thing l wanted until they heard l wasn't a child anymore , unknowingly l had marked myself out of the family according to them l was an adult now.
My mom uttered the words " what will you say when you meet someone who wants to marry you in the future how will you explain this disgrace of your , starting to explain wat you used to do back in your days. " she told me l wasn't fixing her but myself by ruining my future and indeed it's ruined . lm left alone both my parents died few years ago.
I feel like l have a huge weight put on my shoulder . Everyday l cry and pray lf only l could reverse time l would listen to my parents . Even lf lm walking you see it's a corpse coz lm a dead walking soul . Sometimes l even wonder lf people notice lm this broken or my smile overshadows everything (my pain)
I am Nomathemba Zondi , l was supposed to be my parents hope of which l became their embarrassment . Kindly join me on this journey of the unknown
