Fightinig Lonliness Poem by Nana Hauwa Ibrahim

I know I want to write
Of something not so right

But lost in my thoughts I get
As I try to fight back my tears

And in the air hang my pen
But today I unveil my heart

To the world I tell my tale
In these lines some might find odd

Deep down my heart so aches
Wish someone could soothe the pains

A buddy to conquer my fears
And wipe away the streaming tears

That flows down my pale looking face
Sometimes I feel I’m not cherished

When all alone I sit and cry
Tears flow, nobody ask why

I sigh coz I mustn’t despair
I hope and long but would not stop there

I pray silently in my heart to God
To find happiness, peace and solace

Words of joy enlaced in a happy smiling face
To leave my worries in a world so bore

And find myself a haven refuge
A painless world, a world of love

I pray someday you’d come my way
Read these lines and cherish each word

Until then…untill i find you
I’M ALL ALONE.
