I speak for a life you've never had
I speak for the dream you've never lived
I am the poison coursing through your veins
I am the one you call insane

You dream of a life you've never had
You dream of a purpose you never knew
You think life courses through your veins
You’re only playing regrets’ greatest games

I speak for a life you've never had
I speak for the dream you've never lived
I speak in terms of what if and what was
I speak of visions once known now lost

I am the referee, the collector of your sin
I am the silent whispers hidden within
Nina A Attia Sep 2015
أنا المكتوب.
عرفتني أمم.
حضارات و أقوام و قادة دول.
عرفتني الأيام و القرون  و لوعات البشر,
عرفني الأحياء و الأموات معا.
أيها الواقفون فوق التراب لتنعموا
بحصائد ما فات و ماقام و ما سقط
ان شئتم جهلتوا بي ولكن الأيام دول.
ألاترون أن يوما سيأتي و لي ستتوافدوا;
فانا الخط الرفيع في سطور الصحف.
لم اذا أنتم تجاهرون القدر؟
أنا المكتوب..
أنا المقروء..
أنا القلم.
My first Arabic poem in YEARS!
This one is about fate.
