Who is your favourite Disney princess?*
When someone asked me this I actually considered it
And I chose
Elsa
Because she reminds me so much of myself.
I've always had to hide what I can do
Because it would be considered abnormal
I've had to grow up so quickly
Because I have to be responsible
I seem collected
Yet my anger can get the in the way so quickly
People want to associate with my status
Because I come from power
I make  huge mistakes
That repeatedly hurt my sister
And I've been shunned for who I am
Because people fear what I can do
And what I can find.
The only thing which doesn't link me in some way with elsa
Is that I still haven't been accepted.
This is childish but oh well

How long is a day?
It's a second and forever.
Just say the word,
And I'd die for you.

How am I capable of love?
I don't know anymore.
I look like old, tattered rags,
Inside and out.

My heart is missing pieces
I gave away,
And no one ever returned
Or replaced.
Riddled with holes,
It's not even recognizable.

I honestly don't know
Why you would want
Something so broken;
Why you would want me.
Words. I choke on them repeatedly.

Sometimes when the pain is unbearable
I close my eyes and think of the day
When I can finally be myself
Maha Salman Jan 2015
Whenever the shadows grow large and haunt you
Face the sun
And the darkness will fall behind you.

Why do I cry for those who suffer pain
And never cry for myself?
*Because I know that others have a chance of being fixed
Wheras for me there is no hope.
Maha Salman Jan 2015
Sometimes...
The only thought which fills my head is
'I could've been happy'
And other times...
The only thought which fills my head is
*'This is why I'm not happy'
Maha Salman Jan 2015
Sometimes I wonder if I wore my mask
People would like me
But then I am reminded
That I already wear one
