يقولون صبرٌ جميلٌ
صبرت و سوف اصبر
يقولون الصبر مفتاح الفرج
صبرت و لا زلت اصبر
أمطرت صبرا
شربت فنجاناً من الصبر
غرقت ببحر من الصبر
نمت و ما أيقظني الا الصبر
وجده يعدد لي ههمومي و يقول لي انا حلولها
صبر جميل؟
نفاذ صبري لا يرى الجمال
ولا فنجاني يقرأ لي حروفه
اني اغرق بوعود الصبر الكاذبة
سأجد بقعةً دافئةً تواسيني
فالصبر مجرد وهم
كذبة اشبعتني دقّاً على كتفي
و اكْتفيت بها لسنين
فهي ليست لي الان
لا ارى كلمة تواسيني
ولا سحابة تمطر
فبدل الصبر و الحروف الهائمة
سوف أخطو خطواتِ العمى

The sun taught me how to control this house of fire
I light up floating candles throughout the way to an empty land where I fire cursed fireballs
I burn less as I shoot my shooting stars
I am present
I am here
I am the daughter of the Sun
Don't come too close
Don't wish upon my dead shooting stars

Nothing
Huda May 2017
I walked into an empty room with a handful of everything I wanted to leave behind, there was a reaching hand that promised me comfort and little tiny piece of hope for exchange. We exchanged with no words.
People noticed a different face on me but not on her.
I promised myself I'll use the piece of hope on her.
It'll take time, a lot of time. Maybe years?
Time was not it. Maybe words?
Lots of words, words are not it.
Maybe nothing?
Yes, nothing.
Nothing never needed hope, time or words.
Nothing never needed anything and maybe that's why it handed everything it had to me, hoping I'd realize being nothing is better.
I realized nothing it is, nothing for me, nothing for her.
So I lose nothing.
Words are ****.
Hope is just an illusion.
Nothing it is.

Nov
Overflowing flame, November has always held spontaneous mountains for me, above me.
Sinking with the drain, holding on to what I claim is mine, bigger loneliness comes from that.
I told you my true name, but I say it once.
I can paint pictures, I can burn half of the world with my mouth, but only if I used the right words.. which is never my strongest suit.
Your hands slip from mine, you fold them and go to sleep, I fall asleep with. We’re not in the same dream anymore. I’m still doubting life and if this is one of life’s jokes on me.
The wind is heading my way, it passes your wrong thoughts to mine and mine to the trees.
Look me in the eye. Look me in the eye.
Am I an accessory or am I a segment of your imagination? Maybe we’re an idea.

و حين بدأت رحلة البحث على نفسي، وجدك راحلا
و حينما احلم في منامي ويقظتي أجدك راحلا
و حين اقبل عيناك و امسك وجهك بين كفاي، أجدك راحلا
و حين تمر رجفة بعظامي وارى نفسي تبحث خارج جسدي، اجدك راحلا
و حين تهدأ العاصفه و يصمت الوجود و تشرق شمسي محبة، أجدك راحلا
و حين أجد نفسي.. أجدك راحلاً
و نفسي لا تشتهي نفساً ان تفخر الا ذاك الراحلَ

There will always be a knock
there's always a new stranger to knock
for a conversation
for a glimpse of your brain
for comfort
for a safe place
for reassurance
for a deal
for your heart maybe..?
but not all of them is love sober
some will knock to find what they've lost
for someone like her
for an exchange of fake feelings
for fake druken words
for a touch of lust
for a distraction of their mind with yours
for visions your brain might not have the colors of
for one stroke on your strings, of a song they've played before but is completely new to you.. you might be intrigued, but you shouldn't be
I've been knocked
knocked at
knocked for
knocked out
but I never let just anyone in.. Or do I?
Once upon a new constellation in the sky, in a new side on the moon I've never seen, a new shade of black when staring directly into the sun, that has always been blue and purple..
I walk to the door to knock, and there you were already knocking.. I've been hearing these church bells for a year now, I've been feeling my heartbeat sing along to it, a different knock, a sober knock, a new knock that I couldn't resist opening the door for, hell I opened all the doors and all the windows for, I opened my heart, I kept my mind open, I was completely and utterly open and I sang along.
But I knew it was bad, I felt fear and fear and whole lotta fear, but nothing could stop me because you're here with me and you are singing along, you were singing along..
Where did I go wrong? I keep forgetting people can have a change of heart, they change their mind, everything changes in a short period of time and it makes my lungs so tight and my knees weak.. because it's never my change of heart. It's never me. I don't know what the **** is wrong with me but I know that it's time for me to knock on other doors.. because I am not accepting new visitors
I'm knocking on a door..
for love that I know doesn't exist
for reassurance
for sweet little lies that makes me smile
for the final exam of all the lessons I learned

النهاية
Huda Nov 2019
أسوء من أخطائك البريئة
هو مواجهتي لك..
ثم  تكرارك لها..
مره..
مرتين..
.إلى نهاية السبعين عذر و بداية سذاجتي
أرى الهجر بكف و الصبر بكف..
وليلى يصرخ..
هجرٌ جميلٌ والله المستعان!
فلا جمال في الصبر الغبي.
و تُقْبل أفكاري الخبيثة في أول الصباح
و يمضي الصباح.. و تغرب الشمس..
و لا تمضي أفكاري ولا تغرب.

Blackbird
Huda Dec 2017
Just when I thought I can take a sip of the calm clear water, it splashed all over me as soon as the tips of my fingers touches it
What makes sense though?
I’ve asked the sun this question and it answers me: “not you humans”
I asked the trees and the breeze and they answer me with the same answer: “not you humans”
I look at my reflection in the calm water again and it shows me that I’m unfortunately human
I went back to the clear, calm water once again and it shows me a black bird sitting on my left shoulder but when I came back the day after the bird wasn’t there and nor was my reflection
As much as I know that the black bird is free and can’t be mine, I know that the black bird needs me and I need the black bird as much
None of us knows why
Not even the water

Don't show your weaknesses
Huda May 2020
Tell them everything before they step in, every story that had a part of you gone, every story that keeps you going, and every ******* flaw.
Because if they know you're made out of wood and stones, they wouldn't dare to set a bonfire, or would they? Is this why my sister kept telling me not to show anyone my weaknesses? Tell me is this why? Is it why you set the bonfire?
What's the point of words then, they are definitely louder than actions, and oh yes, actions can be as untruthful as words.
And if they knew that you can't swim and the ocean triggers you, would they take you to an island? or an aquarium?
If they knew you only lived in the fantasy world, would they wake you up from a nightmare?
If they knew your words always, always fail you when you're upset, would they take all your words for granted?
I stand here with my crooked smile with one last denial card in my pocket, failing myself one last time.
"Don't show/tell them your weaknesses"

Let me help
Huda Apr 2020
Play a song of your favorite band, and sing along loudly, even dance or twirl around if possible. Air guitar, air drums, dramatic  and crazy physical moves, be all over the place.
Open upon a random book on or the closest book to you, open up a random page, trace your finger on the lines without looking, stop randomly and the word you see is your muse for today, write it.
Sit down, close your eyes, play some background music that you once played on repeat while having the best trip of your life, let your imagination take you back there. What's the point of making happy memories if not reminisce and smile? slide down memory lane.
pamper your body and when you do it go all the way, eat something fresh, draw a bath with salts, oils and Lavender soap, hell light up every candle and melt with them, feed your skin and let your brain sink for once, let it rest, it gets to.
Make a cup of hot chocolate, melt half a bar of your favorite chocolate to the hot milk and coco powder, try adding a cinnamon stick.. or two? it only makes it extra cozy.
Go to Jupiter, go to Saturn. Who said humans can't visit? you can, trust your imagination, it can take you there.
grab a paint brush go la la la la laa laalaaa all over, you don't have to have the talent to enjoy doing something.
These are crazy days but Liam Gallagher sings about them and assures you that they'll make you shine
it's going to be okay

اراقب الفضاء الذي يحوم حولنا و أراه يتمدد ببطء
و اتمدد و اتمزق و أتوجع لكني انفسح و اتوسع..
يعتريني شعور ان ما احس به لا ارض له لا جاذبيه لكن شعور يتلذذ بأسفل البطن لا يمكن أن يخطأ
أنتظر الشمس بعد كل فجر لعل هنالك وعد مسموع
أتذكرك قبل المنام و تأخذني لأرض الشواطئ
"مفتاحك هو أن لا تتوقفين عن المضي."
لا معنى لتفاسير الواقع
لا صديق للوجه الضائع
لا ام للروح الضائعه
اذا حقا مضيت، لا معنى للذكريات
"تخلصي من كل هدية تألم، كل رسالة خط يدي بها يجرحك، لعنة الصور لا تمحى حتى تُحرق"
و تلمس أطراف قدماي الأرض و يتقشعر جسمي من دفئ الأرض و تبتسم شفتاي و أشم الياسمين و ارى جماله و اتذكر عيناك التي تبرق بزنابق الماء و احس بمفتاح بين كفاي و احتفظ بالرسائل، احتفظ بالذكريات، احتفظ بك بمكان لا يغرق، و أغلق الباب
لسخرية القدر و لصحتنا العقليه
لقد تركت المفتاح تحت نبتة بابك الخلفي..
فسأنتظر بعد كل شمس تنطفئ

و انا يا صديقي تهمني زخارف تزين طبقي
فالجمال حولي يجمل يومي
و لا تأخذني ذكريات كانت بيننا
الا لنفق عاتم الظلمة
و يرد عليها عقلي
بل النور واجب باخر النفق
تعلقي يالنفق

الشمس توعدك بالشروق في كل غروب
و تعود بدفئها ووعودها الصادقة
تعلقي بالشمس
لا تتعلقي بباتسامة خليل
بل تعلقي برب العباد

Forbidden Truth
Huda Jun 2020
Let me tell you one thing they don't teach you, and why they couldn't teach you about it.
you'll find yourself at places in life where nothing makes sense, and no words can make truth out of it.
You will go crazy, specially thinking that no way in ******* hell that you're the first person to feel this.
I know you did everything right.
I know you can put it into words.
But let me tell you that lots have tried but all have failed.
That's why it's never on movies, nor music or poetry.
No one can answer your questions, this is only yours, and to each has their own as well.
Every person has a crazy side that no one dares to talk about.
When you're in a point of life where you need to fuel more of reality then daydreams, it's time to grow.
And it's going to hurt, but you have to shed and cut of parts of you so new ones can grow.
You're going to cry.. A lot!
And there's no shame of it, the strongest mountain would fall to dust if it was effected with what you're going through.
And as big as it feels on your chest, as heavy on your back, it's going to be better, the weight shall fall, but very, very slowly.
So you have to hang in there.
Please don't take these words lightly.
And listen for the good life that's coming ahead.
Don't get me wrong, it does not get easier, not at all,
but you will be evolved and when that time comes..
I promise you that it hurts less.
Take it in before you let it go.

Flipping through the pages ignorantly, walking out of everything before it walks out on me, before it rips me open.
I walk, I run but I seem to be doing it on circles
Collecting what's left of me to find a way out of the circle.
All the voices are repeating what is said in order
LEARN YOUR ******* LESSON
And I'll leave the circle?
People are people
it's endless
endless is a circle

I've humbly lost the game
Huda Dec 2019
The hard, bitter realization of losing a love you've tried with all your power to save, you've lost it a long time ago but you've kept on trying.. over all the power that beholds you.. When you realize that was wrong of you because now all the memories you have left is the last bitter ones.. of the saving and losing and not the the sweetness of the beginning.. I can humbly say that I tried, beyond meaning.. I tried.
But now I have no choice but to give it all up.
It's time for the last goodbye.
For finally letting go.
unfortunately.. It's just..
The End.

You Taught Me Well
Huda Feb 2018
I’ve realized that I’m being more vague by the day which leads to being more misunderstood but for the first time, I don’t try not to be..
I can go silent for days, but only if I wanted to.
I cannot confess what’s real
I cannot not think of you in every step of this
I can shush my brain and let go for once
I can pretend you never existed
I sleep away reality
I am using your methods
And now I know how it is
I still don’t understand where you come from
I can let go of a lover but I can never let go of a friend, I’m sorry I wasn’t yours as you were mine, I’m sorry I thought of you differently

Crawling back to myself, insanely comfortable

Don't get burned either burning hurts as much

It stays with you forever
It shows sometimes
sometimes it's you

Lost Hope
Huda Nov 2023
The hopeless romantic in me said her goodbyes
we're parting ways
we're sharing our last gaze
We lived it together
surrounded by heathens
and as light as a feather
as hard as logical reasons
We lived it together
They were feeling the pressure
While we're treasuring the treasure
She's being gentle by leaving me to a bittersweet reality
But a one that I could share with other
A one where there's place for others
A hopeful realist is born
She's taking her place
for space of normality

مرآتي
Huda Feb 2020
أعيش بزمان كنت أخافه، كنت ادعي الرب ان لا يأتي، أن لا أتذوق المر الذي تذوقته، أن لا
أُهزم أمام الحب، أن لا أضيع، أن لا أتوه، أن لا أتلعثم بكلمات، بحروف ليست حروفي
أقف أمام مرآتي و ارى وجهاً جديدا
وجها يرحب بآلام و يقبلها علما ان القادم أفضل
وجها يشرب المر كل صباح تهيئا
وجها هزم أمام خليلي لكن لا يخسر أمام حب النفس
وجها ضاع، تاه تلعثم تألم لكن تأقلم
وجها بشوش و صامت
الا بالمشاعر الصادقة
لا يسكت

Write
Huda Mar 2020
Sometimes I wonder why I tend to almost always **** the muse in my head that gets me writing.
I've facing the sun, I've been facing the moon, I've been facing myself, and I tend to almost always avoid fear.
Fear is one of the strongest emotions I feel, and when I feel it it's real.. And by that I realize that I don't want to write because I know want to know the truth behind all the fear I hold in.
So here goes nothing.

The Sun
Huda Apr 2020
I work for the moment where my mind as as clear as the rising sun.
I keep reminding myself that the sun burns to shine that bright, so it's okay to feel this in the process. The sun also knows when to rise and when to set, it's never wrong.. and my religion is telling me that if the sun doesn't rise like it always does, it is the end of the world and the beginning of the after life. Can I be as strong as the sun?
Yes, I can.
I am the Sun.

Here's to Odd
Huda Jan 2020
Different colors, brand new shade to the rainbow...
a little bit dusty but that's exactly how I like it.
I've come to a realization that I decide. I pick. I choose.
Where the flow is going and when.
"You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts"
When to be at peace with thoughts and when not to, I get to be angry, I get to be upset and let it all out as long as it's not hurting anyone.
Who gets to enter my cave and who's not allowed in.
If you've been in and out more than twice, I better not see your face anywhere close my cave you *******.
I decide. I pick. I choose.
When walking into a black hole, it's on me if I get lost, if I never find my way back or if stay there and call it my home.. Because it was my decision, my choice. I know it's on me.
Who flies on my ******* dragon.
I decide. I pick. I choose.
Huda Feb 2020
My hopeful thinking takes me to a far away place and time in the future, where I'm sitting around my grandchildren in a cozy home that smells of lemon pies and freshly brewed coffee.. Telling them about the monstrous time I've lived in, the cruelty of its sociaty, the brutal family I grew up with and how hideously they'd think of it living in such a good place and growing in such good homes and how they'd appreciate the feeling of peace, safety and love.
But that's just my hopeful thinking, because the universe is telling me that I'm just a man who will live a long lonely life and probably die alone, the universe is telling me that my hopeful thinking is what I think will save me but it's what will end up killing me when I'm 85. The universe lost hope in me, but I refuse to lose it. I see hope. And I still hope. I'm full of it.
And my grandchildren will read this.

I wonder if I'm going to ever be in complete control of my emotions, I wonder if I want to have that as well.
It effects all aspects of my life, I water a flower and if it doesn't grow I get all sorts of emotion, every person I let into my life I cannot imagine ever losing them which is wrong but I feel it anyway, if the ocean is frustrated and the waves show it, I feel it too.. When it's calm I'm calm. I want to own things and this is the hardest part, starting with myself to everything I love deeply.. I have wronged myself letting my emotions take control. I cannot feel this heavy anymore, I'm too old for this but I also refuse to never feel again. What is the Grey area? I'll learn to accept it and love this color instead of black or white.

Sea Shells
Huda Jul 2015
She floats quietly while her thoughts and secrets drift to hide away each in a different shell depending on how big and small it is

Swimming out she hears whispers, warnings, silent lullabys coming out of the shells

She grabs one and it gives her an answer

She grabs another and it gives her a secret

She starts to collect the shells seeking the unknown, still searching for it

"Please be clear, I need an answer"

But what's your question? We only have answers to your questions, we only give secrets for secrets and by giving us away you shall have something in return, have a wild guess.

staying on the ground
Huda Jun 2015
Standing up requires too much effort
I grab a hard stick and it helps me up, all I keep thinking about is how this is temporary, because such a stick can't hold me up it'll eventually break, but it doesn't. It breaks me. It broke me. A ******* stick.
I light a couple of candles and turn the music so loud so I wouldn't hear my own thoughts, but it doesn't work. I need to stand up, I try but the weight is too heavy, I try again but something keeps pushing me down. This is not right, why don't I just stay here? it's not so bad, I feel comfortable here, I don't fear falling or failing anymore, and if I stop trying nothing can push me down anymore. I can burry the weight and make a comfortable sleeping place out of it.
I am happy here, here I shall stay.

Short Story As A Reminder
Huda Aug 2015
Few years ago back at school, I remember this girl crying so hard like she's the first I've ever seen crying I remember getting her a glass of water and not wanting her to talk about it at all, I did not want to know the reason she cried and I felt sorry for her that I almost cried. After a couple of hours a girl came to us and asked me if I knew what's wrong with the crying girl and if not she'd tell me, I told her that I didn't want to know but she insisted that it's actually funny and I'd like the story and didn't shut up she kept talking and talking until she said the reason of all that poor girl's tears, which is "A broken heart" I hated knowing that, I walked back to the girl and she was still crying. I was standing about fifteen feet away thanking God that I'm not that reckless, I promised myself to never fall in love to never feel what that girl was feeling, I hated the story and the girl with the broken heart thinking how childish everything is, I went back to my class and napped with my earphones on, I only did that when I used to get really upset. When I woke up the girl was perfectly fine and I was so stunned, was everything just happened a dream? no, no I can swear it wasn't and I feared to ask.
The girl now is getting married at 21
And I'm suffering of a broken heart
I am that girl at the age of 21
I'm everything I hated
And that's just the broken heart part
staying at the safe side damaged me more than actually taking the risk or the chance, I was happy though. I was really happy.

أستمع لأغنية تذكرني بماضي انتهى
بماضينا الذي انتهى
بقصتنا التي انتهت
بحب حاولنا انقاذه و انتهى
و لا تفاسير للشعور الذي يعتريني
كأنه لم ينتهي..
خسرت روحي روحك قبل ان يخسر جسدي جسدك
فما هذا الشعور الذي يعتريني حين أستمع لهذه الكلمات؟
و ليس من المفترض ان اكتب ما اكتبه
لأني موقنة اننا وجدنا انفسنا حين خسرنا بعض
لكنه شعور لم ينتهي
ان قرئت ما كتبت
هذا ليس عني و عنك
ليس هناك انا و انت
هذا للشعور الغريب
المؤكد انه سينتهي
