Honest With Myself Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Here i am with you today
Forgive me for being a bit late
To fulfill the needs of a recent oath
I made to you and nearly broke....

You must be down, you must be hurt
They've must shoved you into the dirt
Why can't you say how you really feel?
It's not that difficult to reveal.....

He said: I know what you're trying to do
But there's too much for me to get through
He said: I know that you're trying to help
But i can only be honest with myself......

People may think of me as a ghost
Headed to where the river flows
The painful friction of our paths
Is not going to end here tonight

He said: I know that you want it to
But there's not much that's left to do
He said: I know that you want to help
But i can only be honest with myself

Do you believe in me as much as i hope?
Do you believe in my rebellious soul?
Do you believe that we truly belong?
Do you believe, do you believe.....

More than anyone else in the world
For the good, the better or the worse
Oh, look deep into your clouded eyes
They may seek, one step at a time...
