Broken

By -

I could never sleep at night
afraid of the monsters that lurked in my mind
I would pray for a day so bright
perhaps the next one might bind.

Every morning I would open my eyes
glad for the sunlight that stayed the memory
But night still came after the rise
when the monsters fed on my sanity.

Smile, laugh; they told me
all those who couldn't understand the pain
And so, I smiled and laughed as they told me
even though it was never for my gain.

Zahra, you always look lost
then they say it is meant as a joke
But, even I know my heart's full of frost
so much that no light can poke.

I long for a day my smile will be true
for surely, that night will soon be due
When the angels will form a crew
and accept me as leaves, the dew.

THE SOCIETY DICTATES:

1. EGO This piece is for my ego that criticizes others for the mistakes it only recently stopped making, for depending too much while raising the flags of independence, screaming for immunity. This piece is for my ego that just became what it is because others had let it down so many times, and when it climbed back up, it rockets to the skies, never to come down again. This piece is for my ego, the hypocritical bastard that pretends not to care, but deeply worries about how humanity threads the edge of oblivion. This piece is for my ego, the self centered subconscious that is well aware of the mistakes I make, yet gives a perfect excuse to carry on. This piece is for my ego that shelters the abilities of mischief, yet treads with grace on thorns that pricks all the way to the spine. This piece is for my ego, that tells openly what I despise, yet accompanies me to do the same to others, with the reasons that I have withstood the same. This piece is for my ego, that won...

Unguarded Faith

Author: Zahra It was your fake smile that spoke to me the way your eyebrows never drew in I was always supposed to leave But even nature finally had to bow. Your heart sang to me I had never heard such melody Your words; they wound like vines In your hands, my soul wept in jeopardy. Reality snuck in like a night thief from a broken window, your emotions escaped My love sought for you shouting in pain But you'd grown wings and flown. Still here, my heart wide open for you My ears are ready to listen to your lies So I'll keep on walking towards you Perhaps you'll realize you also have to stay. Pieces of my imagination, my unfounded hope You don't exist, and things will change Maybe you do exist, and my life is unfair But I'll wait with unguarded faith till you're mine.
