Inside My Own Poem by Faeza gilani

Once again today

I wondered deep inside my own

And as I was walking down the lonely road

I met a little girl who looked a little familiar

But wasn’t there at all.

And before I could ask her any questions?

She ran up to me and said, I am so glad to see you’re back-

Gobsmacked; I just stood there

who was she thinking to myself?

That’s when she realized-

I had her not recognized.

She, looked up at me and said,

Don't you remember?

I am the light within your eyes

the abysmal fire that dwells inside

And the spark that burns deep within your heart-

I am the seed that cultivates your mind-

The one who speaks with whispers

And taught you how to love

So hold me tight and know me close

For there never was no 'I ' nor there was any 'you'

But togethar 'I and you' transcends into 'Me'

And that 'Me' is your soul.
