Amna Haleem Poems

Friends are supposed to be your cover
from pain and hardships that you feel
they're supposed to have your back
whenever your in need
...

So tired...
I feel like I'm sinking
Deeper and Deeper
Into my own darkness
...

The snow falls
Covering the world
Twirling and swirling
In perfect crystallite forms
...

Magnificent splendor
Glistened
In secret places
...

I see the smile
I see the laughter
I see the face
In many different forms
...

Every time I walk through that door
Every time I watch my family around me
Every time I stand and Pray
I feel
...

How do I explain
How do I make clear to you
How sorry I am
How terrible I feel
...

Truth
Is like any arrow piercing your heart
It is painful and harsh
...

The noise of my classmates swirl around me
Their laughter, complaints and arguments
fly in and out of my brain
I can't concentrate on anything that they say
...
