Confessions Of A Woman Poem by Aminath Neena

I am afraid
So terrified

To dream again
To be a woman again
To love again
To be vulnerable again

Although my heart urges for me
pleads with me

To trust again
To believe again
To take a chance again
To lose my heart again

Still I feel hesitant
Let them say I am different

I am heartless
I am ruthless
I shatter their dreams
I break their hearts


Let them say that at whatever cost
for I have most certainly lost

My rightful place
My colossal grace
My fairy castle with the flimsy moon
Down below the blue lagoon

And I just can't afford
saying it out broad

To commit another mistake
To lay my emotions at stake
To make any advances
To give any chances


I may not be able to take the gist
Bear the possibility of a risk

Of a passerby pushing me over
Or crushing me under the land rover
Lest I may not survive again
If I did lose my dream castle again
