Existence,
the state or fact of being real.
But that's just an appearance,                        
it's more about how you feel.

                                                     The self,
                                                     is the only knowable existent.
                                                     Like the only book on a shelf.
                                                     Nevertheless, it's just a tint.

We care too much about appearance,
and elegance;
that we forget about spreading self-confidence.
And become so empty of effervescence.

                                                 ­     While life is so much more,
                                                      A complexe of sentiments and souls;
                                                      Whic­h we stupidly choose to ignore.
                                                      And­ rather play our mortal roles.
Cela ferait-il une différence si je n'existais pas?

I remember being a little kid,
who nobody was worried where she will be lead.
A girl only too friendly to be friendless.
Too curious to be clueless.

I was too ordinary to be picked for the school play,
a kid that never broke a cup or a tray.
I was a shy child,
with nothing to hide.

I once woke up with my daddy gone,
I was so shook that from speech I was foregone.
Luckily it was only temporarily,
for when he came back I punched and yield in his arms so loudly.

A sensitive soul I was,
which I thought would be just a phase
But I'm still as fragile as a vase.

How search for what we ignored was lost?
How seek what is nearby but never  spot?
How find with the astray lot?
How discover with no logical plot?

Whereas it's the unfound, honest love,
which is forever meant for the heavens above.
or that dreadful void which is caused by absence of art;
It had always been a hollow heart.

Nevertheless, it is no excuse,
to dim the flame of one's soul.
Let your spirit on the loose.
But not to become beyond control.

Get broken,
but never break.
Silence is stronger than the spoken.
Be an ocean, not a lake.

Get hurt,
but never do the hurting.
Life is terribly curt;
live with no regretting.
we all are missing something, a piece of our greatest spirit, which we all long to. I believe that once upon a lost time we were that naked, better soul.
when I say:"the unfound honest love,
which is forever meant for the heavens above." I am referring to that greatest love which has no hurting, just love, that word which many poets and authors tried to explain...but after all, just in human words. You see, love is our gift from the Eden above, but when it came down it lost some of its perfection."Ideal" never existed on our humble ground.

Little grains of sand,
Slipped through my fingers;
As I dwell on my dreamland,
I couldn’t help but linger.

What if no evil existed?
What if there was no bond of adoration?
Into this philosophical flow I was drifted.
With no awareness of the duration.

I settled in this realm of imagination.
Where there is no order of creation.
Where I am ignorant of all mortal’s complication.

Out of the blue, I felt a tap on my shoulder,
I turned around;
It was a reminder,
That I am still on this simple,beauteous ground.
Thoughts in class, on the road, on the beach, asleep...etc

Most friendship is feigning,
but in ours there was no fectioning.
You proved the definition of loving,
whilst I taught you the trusting.

I say "was", because that love has become an echo;
in which I find the comfort,
of a fading memento.
I crave for the love that I found in no ather resort.

Your kind is very few,
so I named her after you.
I actually have an exam in 18 hours and I didn't memorize a thing. Nevertheless, I was inspired and felt the need to write...so, here it is.
When I say "her" I'm referring to my sister. Yes she was named after you my dear Mariam.

This achievable height,
To the unseeing is out of sight.
And that is why I write:

‘I didn’t awake with a simple heft.
I didn’t mount a negligent.
I awoke to the realization of what I hent.
Not unlike the unintelligent,
I was from knowledge, kept.

I awoke to the truth that I might die any day,
And that is why I struggle.
To mount, you’ll have to find a way,
And that is to hustle.

I awoke to disappointment.
See, it is the reason to my determination.
I don’t quite because of a fly in the ointment.
Oh, and dear, I know no hesitation.

This impossible height,
To the seeing is an easy fight.
The mountain peak is where they alight.’
