Maryam Khan Poems

Being a child,
with adventures everyday,
building high spirits,
making a new mind grow.
...

Being a girl is where it's at.
I'm proud, sometimes loud, and I know how to have fun.
I am who I am (and then some) !
...

In a terrible fog I once lost my way,
Where I had wandered I could not say,
I found a signpost just by a fence,
But I could not read it, the fog was so dense.
...

Stop it now
It's only the innocent who get hurt in war

The soldiers
...

This world we live in is an up hill struggle,
Everyday we live with our guilt,
Our heads full of anxiety,
All the time we have our own personal wars,
...

Think about it
Isn't it funny?
The world we are living in is just a dream
We are bad
...

Looking for a man who can....

Looking for a man
who can make me giggle
...

When I look into these eyes
I find things no one else ever catches a glimpse at

I see this fear of judgement
...

This morning I made my mom's breakfast in bed.
I tried to be careful, but burnt all the bread.
I tried to make sure that the coffee was hot,
by boiling the bit left in yesterday's pot.
...

Everyone tells you,
they are the best years of your life.
The thing they dont tell you,
is they are all full of strife.
...
