Always Afraid Poem by Wael Karameh

Dizzy like a leaf in the hand of the wind
I hardly can support my head…
The noise of the awaken old memories
Becomes like my daily bread…
There… I hesitated for weeks to call …
To confess about my great feeling …
There I care about everybody except myself
As if staying in a house without a ceiling…
There I did not have a far vision for my future
For the world, for the real woman I am waiting…
There the harm came to me from very near
Like the black color invading a nice painting…

Painful like a knife cutting my heart
Love is still not leaving me in peace…
As if it is a slow divine revenge
Eating my whole life piece by piece…
Here I am… still feeling cold
Still feeling lonely…growing too old…
Still missing tenderness
Still missing happiness
Still that ignorant dreamer
As I had been told! ! !
