Children of War

What looks like having fun and innocent smiles,

Is in fact war stories told by a child.

They laugh and get exited and want to tell their side,
On how the bomb fell near them and how their dad died.

As a much older person I felt so small,
Cause a much smaller human survived a war.

A war they had no fault to fight,
A war that knew nothing of children rights.

Zainab, Osama, Khalid and Bana I'll never forget your names,
Translating your stories was an experience from which I'll never be the same.

She Talks

 "When did life become so complicated?" - mutters to herself in the middle of the night "When did life became so cruel?"

"And how can I escape it?"
"When will I stop being the fool?" Silence followed her words,
Speechless she grew to be,
And her mind screamed the words
"NO ONE CAN EVER BREAK ME!!" Little did she know, her kind was rare,
All she ever knew that life was "it's not fair" ,
You can feel it now,
In her presence, in her air... She's breathing a different life, breathing a different truth..
She will no longer waste a minute nor a second of her youth.

She's determination, she's the salt of the earth...
She cannot be valued by heaven and hell's worth... She can't be stopped,
Can't be put down...
She's with no titles,
She needs no crown... She's everything they need,
And more than they deserve.
This girl is you and me,
If only we observe.

We are Art

Art is a language everyone can speak,

It is a purpose in life so many of us seek.

We paint landscapes,
Write poetry & make music.
We draw faces and shapes,
Put them all together & infuse it.

Art is diverse,
Art is not for the weak.
Art is for the brave,
Art is the weirdos streak.

We are Nothing

We're all nothing but silhouette,

Dark figures in the light!
Figure of speech,
Not saying what is right!

It's Not Easy

Our flaws are strength,

Our mistakes are growth,
Out past is a memory,
Our dreams are an oath.

Yes! We will burn,
But from the ashes we will rise,
We will fail and hurt,
But we are the kids who survived!

One X, the rejects and the hexed!
Life didn't mend us, ourselves we fixed!

We who're different,
We who broke the rules,
We who was ignored by life,
Will shine, cause our wounds are our fuel.

Never stop!
Till you get there.
Listen to non!
You'll make it, I swear!

Believe

I believe in magic,

I believe in the world...
I believe that happiness is something we can all afford.

Flying solo
or walking in pairs,
I believe it will be okay in spite of the scares.

Yes,
We will show weaknesses,
Yes we will hurt,
But life is for the brave, live courageous, it is short!

They Won't Leave

Ghosts!

Not something we can see,
Not something that can be.
It's a presence we can feel,
Wounds that won't heal.

We all have ghosts,
Mine are the worst!

They won't leave...

I Call Them Pigs

Got stuck in a pig's farm,

Knowing I'm more of rose garden charm.

But I'm stubborn as a bull,
And got my hands full.

I swore to make that pig smell flowers,
But that pig should be sent for slaughter.

My job is to get things done,
And now I'm officially done!

The Emotional Hunchback

 I'm sharp around the edges

Harsh ends and unkind
All waters and burnt bridges
And a mess in my mind

I had no choice
In my heartbreaks and sorrow
With gravel in my voice
My only goal is surviving tomorrow

But then you came along
Like a breath of fresh air
Like a classical song
Like the wind in my hair

And like the disfigured emotional I am
I ran up the tower and rang the bells
The emotional hunchback of Noterdam
Came down to live in my heart's cell

My world is less than a Disney story
My books & stories sees no happy end
My hero is not armed with pride & glory
My world has misfortune as a friend

I know my history
Therefore I know my fate
It's a horror story not mystery
I fall in love with what I hate

But you came along
But not really there
Like a classical song
Like the wind in my hair

See I cannot have what I didn't earn
I'm not as blessed with ease in life
I cannot wish for my luck to return
I can only fight bravely in this black strife

Sometimes I think you're too good for me
Sometimes I think I'm too good for you
My "sometimes" are slowly killing me
But all my heart's prisoner wants is you
Just like a classical song
When you're not there
I will humm along
With the wind in my hair .......

She's Cold

When two hearts beat as one they can never beat apart.

You caused me pain and I have felt the pain kept deep in your heart.

But I couldn't come close, not after what you said.
On that day I wished I never existed I wished I was dead.

How can something so real feels like nothing but fake,
I acted cold, yes! but I did what I did for your own sake.

I might not be there, but my heart is with you,
And it will take good care of the heart that I have planted my heart into.

Fallen

I have fallen in love,

With someone who's summoned from below
And sent from above.

I have fallen in love,
With lips that taste poison
And lips that tastes like lust.

I have tasted sin,
And I have experienced the bless within.

He's the kind of guy,
Who gives you all the answers,
But question you why?

He's the kind of guy,
I can't control or have,
But he's the guy I call mine.

He's like summer days,
Like spring, Autumn and winter,
He's my four seasons in one day.

He's like a cure,
To my wounds but he's also a plague,
That will kill me I'm sure.

I'm in love with this man,
That feels like gravity grounding me,
And space, spinning me as fast as he can.

I love him from all of my heart,
I love the little good in him and the bad,
I love him like a collector loves his art.

Three is an OCD

Life is made of three,

Demons, angels and little old me.

Evil, good and somewhere in between,
Sighted, blind and barely seen.

A hero, a heroin and a narrator,
The people, the land and a decorator.

Actor, actress and a director,
A patient, a nurse and a doctor.

There's positive, negative and static energy,
Males and females with their cosmic synergy.

Two of everything and three of each,
Within arm's length and out of reach.

Call me normal, sane or kinda crazy,
Or hyper, still or super lazy.

There might be two sides to each story,
But there are always three parties in every glory.

Three of kind,
Three in mind.

Two ways,
Two gaze.

One for all,
And one goal.

An example that can work with all
You walk, you stumble and you fucking fall.

Life!

Best Regards

I can write alright!

I can put up on hell of a fight!
But I can't say what's in my heart!

And when I try to speak,
My words go weak,
I talk around in circles and squares.
Cause deep inside I feel that no one cares.

When I write it down, I express!
When I try to speak, I don't impress!

It's like my heart has no blank space,
But my speech is a white page.

I'm just emotionally paralysed,
Dysfunctional more that I realised!

Sadly & happily,
Me

Stubborn

 Some people want to get by,

I want to make history.

I may come across as arrogant and full of myself, but...
I was the one paving my own path cause I didn't make the cut.

I made my own luck,
I pulled myself out when I got stuck,
Everything I have, is everything I got

I can't settle now,
I've lost so much to get where I am.
I can't loose myself too

Care Not

I might have my heart butchered on my hand,

But I don't wear my heart on my sleeve.

I might tell you "I love you"
Then next morning you will watch me leave.

I'm different,
Couldn't you tell, that things with me come with ease.

I'm all about my words,
They're my oath, but you're actions required. please!

Do you get it!
I want someone different, who would give me the moon and the stars.

Who will tear down my walls,
And steal my heart, and call it "ours"

So don't tell me to go,
Then next day pop up in front me.

I will act clueless,
To the feeling that you and I are meant to be.

I'm the Ghost

The farthest I am, the better.

All on own, but not bitter.

As close as I am, I'm not near,
But even when away, I'm still here.

It's like I am a ghost, a spirit!
You can live without it, and can live with it.

I will hunt, but I won't harm,
I am evil with a heavenly charm.

The Panic

 It's time to run Farah, time to escape,

You know how much of this you can take.
Time to act like you never existed, RUN!!
Getting hurt and left behind isn't fun.

Life taught you that this is not for you,
You don't want to believe it, but girl it's true.
You're weird nature and honesty is hated by men.
Why would this change? What's the difference in him?
