Zohra Ihsan Poems

In a blindness of rage,
A slither of madness,
glass is shattered,
possessions are ruined,
...

In your eyes,
We have the rest of our lives,
To live our dreams,
To face our fears.
...

A word that triggers fear in some,
But passes by others who dont care,
Physical pain, emotional rage and broken hearts,
Screeching screams break the silence,
...

You say im fake,
Im a waste of space,
Im a copy of what was meant to be,
You say i have no use in this world,
...

A four letter word,
Full of complex meanings,
It can build you up and tear you down,
A word know for its opposition to love,
...

Simple words,
Complicate things,
Tears down familiars,
Into strangers,
...

For every tear shed,
Is another heartbreak,
For every tragedy,
Is another fairytale gone wrong,
...

Your 14 years now,
The world is at your feet,
Smallest of things to others,
Are what you deem the bane of your existence,
...

When you peel back the layers,
Piece by piece,
And uncover what lays beneath,
What do you see?
...
