“I write for...

I wish I could write purely for fun � I wish I could wake up in the morning and write about the bees and the trees and the leaves. But there is a burden that sits on my shoulder and this is why I write.
I write for�
All the Black women who didn’t make it
All the Black women with tapes on their mouths
All the Black women whose tongues were cut by violation
All the Black women who lost their surnames not by choice
I mould my words for�
All the Black girls who think the world is innocent
All the Black girls who still dream
All the Black girls whose eyes are still clear � not tainted by nights of weeping
I write for my grandmother
I write for my mother
I write for me
I write for us
Sometimes I don’t know why I write
But what I know is this
I must write”
― Malebo Sephodi
