Two Worlds Poem by Samah Khan

I’m trapped between two worlds-
One my own and one perceived;
In one world, I am unwelcome
And in the other, I am deceived.

I am trapped behind glass, a figure in stone
I am trapped below the surface, calling for help
I am known well, yet on the whole, I remain unknown
No one sees the pain for I am pain itself.

I’m trapped between two worlds-
One I’ve lost and one that’s lost to me;
I know it’s simple, (Lord, it’s so simple)
A few drops of blood, one last cry,
And then I am free.
