Sara Hammouri Poems

I’m lost

I’ve always said this is a big big world
And now I’m lost in this world
...

Here I lie at the razors edge
The day I made my final pledge
The day I opened up my skin
The day I let out all my sins
...

Everything you did or still do
No matter what happens
To me or to you
We will always make it through
...

Maybe I wear baggies
and white socks with flip-flops,
maybe I don't like listening to rave
and I'm not on the social mountaintops,
...

Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt.
She knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've dealt
...

Shades of night
Fall up on my eyes
Lonely world fades away
Misty light shadows start to rise
...

Little child why are you crying?
What has caused you pain?
What has hurt you oh so deeply?
What has made you become insane?
...

I look at people
While they run all over the place
I wonder why I just can’t understand
They look as if they don’t know why
...

When I see your face
My heart beats so
When my lips touches yours
It feels so weird
...

Sister, please hold my hand
As we journey through this land
Together we stand,
Together we will fall
...
