we call the sadness 'beautiful'
and we do not try to stop it.

maybe that is worse
than the sadness itself.

how is it possible
to feel so minuscule and insignificant
that it would be impossible
for people to see me,
even through the strongest
magnifying glass,

but at the same time,

feel so large and overbearing,
as if i take up entirely too much space
and cannot stay out of
anyone's way?

i am sitting here
attempting to write out
a christmas list.

and now i am wondering
when it became so hard
to think of what i want.

i want things that
coins and bills
cannot buy.

confidence,
bravery,
happiness,
beauty,
to not feel lonely.

maybe that is why
it is so hard
to think of material things.

they do not matter in the grand scheme of things,
and i want to matter.

you are just another person in the crowd,
you are nothing special,
the whole world does not know about you.

you are irrelevant to the others,
you are meaningless and pointless.

but the purpose of life is
to be significant,
to be known.

you don't want to be just another shining
star in the night sky,
you want to be a shooting star,
a star that you rarely see but it's beautiful
and memorable.

As I stand in the flashing city lights,
I feel the earth move under my feet.
This is my home,
My beautiful home.
As the world stumbles upon
the horrors they see on TV,
I stand still,
My home,
My beautiful home.
I whisper to myself,
Everything will be alright,
I whisper to you,
Like a mother singing a lullaby;
Beyrouth,
My dearest Beyrouth,
One day.
One day, you'll see your wonders,
One day, your children will be here
One Day, they'll come back,
For you.
Beyrouth, Beyrouth,
You old soul,
You beautiful mind,
Stand still.
We are here.
as i see the horrors on TV, i have realised that we never show Beyrouth as the beautiful town it is but as the horrible things that have been done there. I wander endlessly in this city and could spend every second of my life there.

his soft voice sang to her,
beneath her window.

guitar in hand,
he strummed the strings carefully,
he wanted everything to be perfect,
only of her.

she was holding a smile that he hasn't seen before,
a genuine smile, from the heart.
her heart melted as she watched
the boy she loved with her whole heart
serenade her under her window,
just like in their favorite movie.

your body
your soul
your mind.
occupied by
your smile
your laugh
your voice.
occupied by
your eyes
your face
your hair.
occupied by
**you.

i wish it were you
saying you're sorry
over how you never loved me
the same way
i loved you
but it's not
it's me
i'm the one who's sorry
i'm sorry i was never good enough
sorry i never tried hard enough
or caught your eye
i'm sorry i wasn't as beautiful
as you would have wished
sorry i was too ugly inside
for you to love me
i'm sorry that no matter how hard
i tried
you never noticed
you never took interest
and never seemed to care
i'm sorry you never felt
the same way
as i felt
for you
i'm sorry
and it should be you
telling me you're sorry
that you never
loved me back
and put me through
all those years
of pain
tears
hopelessness
and
crushed dreams
because you never
ever
took notice in me
or were gentle
when it came to
my feelings
for you
but it's me who's sorry
sorry i was never
good enough
for you
and someday
i hope you
can forgive me too

hideous reflections
pointing out our flaws
making us look drowsy
and breaking all the laws

pathetic self esteem
confidence at it's lowest
oh my dear reflection
why can't i be the prettiest?

disgusted with myself
pinching at my sides
i started skipping meals
just to slowly die

one month, two months
my body has grown frail
oh, my mirror image
how me you have failed
