Blue Poem by Lubna Hazeem

I bet you can tell me apart
I bet you know my name for a start
Not because i'm sad, just because i'm blue
Like the restless oceans, i am see-through

Climbing mountains underneath the sun
Reminding me of wishfulness undone
And past promises yet unfulfilled
In a world that's empty still

I bet you know what i'm talking about
I bet you hope for the best even as you doubt
Everyday you say, look i'm just dreaming as if
No one's ever going to push me down this cliff

I just keep walking mile after mile
I just keep breathing it every once in a while
It's the hope that has carried me over to land
Beyond the inventible sea is where we stand

Although we seem like we're worlds apart
And our minds always differ with our hearts
Our souls keep drifting on an on-going speed
Because love is to grow, to flourish as beings
