Cave Of Mind Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Who am i?
Is this a dream?
Nobody is listening

There’s no light
And I can not see
Nothing is glistening

Stars can only be lit
When they’re comforted
Darkness can only give
My doubt’s alternatives

And I can only hope, I can only hope
That reality’s more than tightened ropes
And I am more than just some bitter soul
Searching to conclude and resolve

Oh, within a cave, within a cave
Made of thoughts upon which I pray
Like a winding maze, a winding maze
Lost within disconnected space

Oh, im caving in, im caving in
Im breaking in, im breaking in
In a million pieces deprived of reason
I resonate the cause of selfless freedom

And I let them out, the silent sounds
Millions of chords scattering around
And I see them as they leave behind
The remains of my filthy cave of mind

And I wake to see them laid before me
As I have never believed they could be
The words made of newfound remedy
Breaking through everything

Like the tides of the mighty ocean
Like the tides of strong emotions
Like the tides of thick devotion
Running over me, over me.....

On a piece of paper
From your paper heart
I draw the lines where
We're pulled apart

Outside my cave of mind
I am nothing but a silent ghost
And inside those weary lines
Is where I will be forever yours
Forever yours......
