It's Freaking Me Out Poem by Alaa ...

why....do i cry
when there is no reason to...

pictures of people who were once dear friends
pass by and laugh at me
i was good one day and so were you,
but now, why do we pretend..
that life is the same...that nothing has changed
it's freaking me out... how human beings could be so strange

i look at the moon to whisper my secrets
to whisper my questions
i wish i knew what poison lies in days
what pain travels with time
to turn everything so cold and blind

i'm wondering... asking myself
how the hell is everything
going to stay still
you fool! what game are you trying to play
everybody leaves, and nothing will stay
so, shut up, surrender and lie down
stare at the fake sky and count the so-called stars
maybe a day will come, when fake turns to real
but still...
it's freaking me out... how the world could be so surreal

i knew now
why i do cry
when there is no reason to
