Darkness,
A poem written by Meriem OUADAH
S uddenly all this dark ,
All this silence that i don’t like,
Why is it so calm , why am i so dumb?
Why can’t i see ? why can’t i hear ?
Why also i can’t feel ?
Is it fear that brought me here?
I feel sadness, alone in this darkness ,
Is it true ? i can’t get a clue ,
Is it fake or it’s my mistake?
Am i afraid or maybe a bit scared ?
I wanna cry but i don’t know why ,
Darkness what a madness ,
I feel heartless , mindless , just breathless
Suddenly all locked out , i just can’t get out ,
Always looking but yet i did not find the key ,
I know i must take it even if i fake it ,
Don’t look pithy,
Just go and get ready ,
Your battle is waiting for you to be winning ,
This battle of life,
It’s a long drive ,
Just be a fighter , look brighter ,
Sing the song of life ,
Step on the road of pain ,
Face it to see what you will gain,
Taste the blood of sacrifice ,
It will be unbearable ,
But it’s unstoppable ,
Just run ,
Here take a gun ,
