Strong Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Tasting the bitter rawness
Of these thorn-headed lives
Wrapped in bitter calmness
That haunts the devil's eyes

I took another sip of sadness
And stared at the gritty lights
The mere signs of blankness
Will wreck and tare us tonight

Everybody knows
Everybody knows too well
We're the sickening show
Longing to fulfill ourselves

Everybody's small
Everybody knows that well
This is the thickening mold
Longing to rid of ourselves

Everybody wants peace
Everybody wants to sleep
Everybody wants to leave
With every part in me

Everything's not real
Everybody wants to feel
Everybody wants to heal
With every part in me

Here, im a dreamer
And im in love with a dream
Along with every part in me

Now, im a dreamer
And im in love with a dream
Does that make me guilty?

In cuffs and chains
Im alone and tamed
Here, everyone's in pain
And i just want to be sane

Throw me in prison
Teach me a lesson
Teach what it means to
Be right and not to listen

Teach me what it means to kill
Teach me what it means to bend
Teach me what it means to lose
My own innocence

In the middle of destruction
In the middle of curroption
In the middle of me

A wounded soul
Filled with holes

All i ever wanted to be was strong
All i ever wanted to be was strong
All i ever wanted to do was wrong
And now everything is gone

Like a dying son
In the arms of a man
And his jaded hands

Like a dying song
In the heart of a man
With another chance

You were always strong
And im stronger now
You were always strong
And im stronger now

I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
