Don’t look in the mirror
It lies to your face.
Don’t you cry or shiver
You’re beautiful with grace.

Don’t listen to their taunts
They are no one to judge
Don’t agree to their wants
Let them keep a grudge.

You think you don’t deserve it
But that is where you’re wrong
Beauty lies within, every bit
Be confident, stay strong.

The ones who put you down today
Will suffer tomorrow
You shouldn't care about their say
**** those voices with an arrow.

If they love you, it’s just you
So don’t pretend to be someone
It doesn't matter what you do
Stay by yourself, don’t you run.

This mirror is *****
It will show flaws even if you have none
But you know you’re pretty
So smile brighter than the sun.

-Zainab Attari
life is bursting
with fullness

fear of failure
strangles me
10w
Life* is not about
Waiting for the storm to pass,
It's about learning to
Dance                              
In the
                          *Rain

Its all too familiar the way my life is now.
I wonder how it will end this time.
I guess we'll wait and see.
turn my poetry into necklace and wear it today
forget about world and let's run away

we should hang out together,
watch countless number of people's lies

until one of us dies

let's talk about false hopes and immorality,
bring up the past and prove ourselves wrong
overdose our body with sad songs
believe in misfortune and tell secrets first before the clue
and right before you fall into madness,
I will catch you

You say  your not religious
Well neither my friend am I
It was man that made religion
It was Christ that came for us to die

He came to earth with a purpose
And that purpose was to set us free
From the guilt, the sin, the daily shame
All chains of captivity

It was the religious leaders of his day
That used their power as a tool
It was Jesus that came to do away
With all the man made rules

Rules that held the people down
The same as they do today
Invite Jesus into your heart right now
And let freedom have its way

You say your not religious
Well neither my friend am I
It was man that made religion
It was Christ that came for us to die
