EMOTIONS OF A BURDENED WOMAN

Ayad Gharbawi

Febuary 16, 2010



If I feel
My tears
Rupturing

And if I feel
My fractured language
To be worthless

I am
Seeming to be seen
By you
But in reality
I know
That I am really
Nowhere

I am
An
Inert being
That has no gravity

You did punish me
Your people
Did beat me
Enough
Don’t you think
I have had enough
Or should I have more

Of your stinging rage
Against me
But you never understand
Or understood
That I did nothing
And that I am innocent

These are my words
Written for my babies
And to you
Anyone out
There
Who may read my
Words
These words
Express feelings
And feelings
Express ****, severe pain
That really burns.
