teardrops
snowflakes
rain
stars
tides
eyelids
time
shadows
leaves
the sun
and I,
for you

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Who's the fairest
Of them all?
Not you
Mirror mirror
On the wall
Who's the one
About to fall?
You are
I shatter the mirror
And use the shards
To bleed the memories
From my skin
Mirror mirror
On the wall
You pushed me
Off the cliff so tall
You deserved it

I worry
For the unmoving mountain
Unable to move an inch
In the midst of an earthquake.
The shaking ground
Does not mean to destroy it
But it cannot be helped
When some things
Are just so obstinate.
They must survive
Or crumble.
The earth is changing beneath us all.
When the dust has settled,
Nothing will ever be the same.
Fall apart or carry on.

He told me,
"You are a
coincidence
that looks like
destiny."
I told him,
"You are a
déjà vu
that looks like a
memory."
They told us,
"You are a
dream
that looked like
reality."

I'm tired.
Tired of everything.
I just want to sleep,
And never wake up again.
No, I'm not lazy,
I'm not running away from life.
I'm just tired of the world and myself,
And too tired to change anything.

Mosul streets I walk,
Blood on every corner,
Innocence dead and lost,
Somebody please take me away.
This warzone has become,
A hell too much to bear,
There is no life for some,
While others die in despair.
Mosul streets I walk,
Counting bodies on the path,
There is no end to this gore,
No point in keeping false hopes.

My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading "Keep Off."
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

I don’t know where to begin,
where to start,
or where to end
and where to stop.
I don’t know how to tell you what’s on my mind.
There are so many words missing, words I can’t find.
Because my mind is a warzone, it is a battlefield.
And my shield is broken and my weapons are blunt.
There’s nothing and no one to protect me in a war against myself.
I scream and I scream, and my skin, my voice bleed and I hope I wake up and it’ll all just be a dream. But it’s not, it seems.
I feel shunned though I have been told I’m loved, and that those ***** around me, who surround me love me.
But I find it hard to believe it now.
Time flies so fast for me
or does it stand still, I don’t know.
Minutes to hours, hours to days.
And it’s getting difficult for me to see
beyond the fog that clouds my thoughts, my eyes.
So I put on a mask
And do the impossible task
Of waking up every day
as I struggle to put on the play.
But the problem never goes away.
I slowly start shutting myself out from people,
stop going to places that are crowded
all the while enjoying being shrouded in the dark of my room.
I feel doomed.
I don’t like to cook,
I don’t feel like reading a book.
All satisfaction is gone and
I don’t know what’s wrong.
I don’t enjoy the things I used to.
There’s no purpose for me,
I feel.
No motivation.
Everything is just white noise.
Everything is static.
So I stand here now,
tired and weary,
at a path
so dark and dreary
leading to different directions,
all the while thinking
I don’t want to exist anymore.

I sit in my chair,
And look up at the ceiling,
Tears stroll down my eyes,
Heart filled with old feelings.
With my forefinger,
I flick away the tears,
Sigh into the air,
But there is still some fear.
I do not know how this all came to be,
Everything was good,
Together,
We were happy.
Now all there's left,
Is memories and heartache,
How could you be so cruel?
Throwing me down into the tarmac.
I still wish you were here,
Holding me tight,
Creating a calm I do not remember,
I still wish you stayed the night,
Did not leave me alone,
As we crept into a deep slumber.
Forgetting the promises,
You trod on your way,
Making me doubt whatever we had,
Was a dream,
An almost something.
