a moment of conscienceA Poem by Yazan Al-Saif
Tears of joy I know them no more
All I had were tears of pain, grief and another that was caused by the one I adore I'm about to lose my faith on this night My soul was crushed by a thought of great might Little were the times when I felt good But alas during them I understood Life doesn't like me, it was a mistake to bring me And no matter how much I try it won't let me be I thought I had my parents to blame But they raised me and made sure I was treated the same I have nothing superior in me nor about me Because whenever I look at my reflection I curse the thing that I see I had the time of my life when I met you daughter of the sun It felt like time has stopped and it just won't run But life saw that and cursed it And wished that it could incinerate the day when we met I feel I've lost every will to live But all I needed was for a shining star who knows what she should give I reached this point when I was thirteen And suicide was the only thing I had seen I made a mistake by using a weak drug But unfortunately, now I know what I have to chug Help me god, you're there and you know my pain Send me something to break off this damned chain © 2015 Yazan Al-Saif |
