A beautifully written poem by our newly trained Young MOTivator, Preston Saayman from Boland TVET College, Caledon Campus in MOT South Africa.
Preston wrote this poem while on the Young MOTivators’ Education from 30 August – 1 September that was inspired by Atle Vårvik (founder of MOT) and Moana’s meeting as part of MOT’s History.

Lyrics:
Secrets I’ve kept in my heart
Just to divide the different pain apart
My courage should have been here right from the start
A broken teen with broken dreams and this played the part
I grew sick and tired of meeting the same people in different bodies
I pick to desire the truth so I just popped some mollies
Wish we had more things in common and shared similar hobbies
Now I seek to feed on unguided mentalities like a hungry zombie
We all crave compassion and the warmth of love and empathy yes endlessly the feels of ecstasy especially when it leaves you breathlessly
Going forth relentlessly
Blessed with a beating heart in your chest
On a quest to take life’s test striving for the best
Although you might feel stressed and depressed
Rather be obsessed to infest in your own growth yes physically mentally spiritually emotionally
Just don’t be your own enemy
You gotta fight these demons straight up
Words sounding made up covered in makeup through another deadly break up you just gotta wake up
Memories coming up like a hiccup
I Soothen the pain I double cup
Mixing my emotions with purple potions
Thinking that they knew me but all they got is one drop from thee ocean
Till my soul became frozen and my imagery broken
Hypnosis implosion my life is a open omen
I treasure my values like golden token
Maybe not too outspoken
Yet I wanna shout, I’m always to quiet to try it the words won’t come out
But now I got M O T who motivates me
That I OD on self love and to see
The hope in the eyes of those surrounding me
Showing courage with the strength I get from GOD
My anxiety kept on finding me but I buried it here and now RIP
