WheN the mirror I face
Maryam saeed Nov 2019
When the mirror I face
All the scars I can see
Flaws deep inside me
But I wouldn't change a thing
They are part of me
If you don't want them
You are free to leave
The doors are open
They were never closed
Awful the world feels for me
Healed scars the mirror knows
Part of me  are the mended scars
You don't like them?no sweat
For I love them,no regret
Maryam saeed Dec 2019
stone Hurled on a tranquil pool
Waves disturb the calm boats
The bliss of peace is no more
Feeling of calmness I felt
Ephemera of emptiness still possess
Intricacies of heart I guess
Darkness cloud over contendness
No sign of whom was there
Such nonexisistant wound bleeds
Deep down in crannies of heart
Realm of soul still ask for help

Peace:where to find
Maryam saeed Nov 2019
peace:where to find
Chirping birds no longer sweet
The swirling fields are no treat
Calmness: an elusive dream
Tranquility, where to find
Warm love no longer at hand
An elephant foot on my heart
Peace:you left me alone
In a world with no safe
Why you left me?
Nature have no colour on
What have you done to me?
I look around
In search of you
But darkness has prevailed all
Peace:where to find you?

In search for validation
Maryam saeed Feb 2020
In search for validation
In people's eyes
I lost myself
Battered by expectations
Grief became my companion
Regret, a second me
It would go away with time,
I thought,
It is still there
Blooming in the heart
Presenting in many ways
Making life a routine.

Happy woman
Maryam saeed Feb 2020
A happy woman,the world knows
tears on the pillow show another aspect
Thick skin on the outside
With inside as fragile as butterfly

Stranded again
Maryam saeed Feb 2020
Epitome of love, for me who was
Now is a warmth that canopies no more
Brimming love, castles in the air
Were all hollow promises, false pretenses
Blemishes, bruises all over my soul
For one who tended cares no more
Every breath a burden on my soul,
Each passing second is fight against fate,
For gone is the one who numbed the pain.
The coat of happiness, my attire
Missing is the one, who saw beyond that guile
Whose shoulder on which I would cry
As tears flows through her eyes, she knew
She wa stranded again like so many times.

I would not die unspoken
Maryam saeed Feb 2020
I may have stumbled
Fallen into a pit
Hurt and bruised,
Dirt and mud,
a blanket around me
My voice lost
Like so many others
Deep in the sea
But I would stand
As I am not dead yet
Revive my energy
Rejuvenate myself
As a duty, a calling
Lies on my shoulder
As dead, still eyes
Watch me with hope
Be assured,
I would not die unspoken

May be one day
Maryam saeed Feb 2020
In the hustles and bustle
In eyes brimmed with indifference
My pain would be understood
May be one day
The coat of happiness, my attire
Some body would see beyond that guile
Worthlessness,hollowness,emptiness
All sort of Ephemera has occupied the heart
Would somebody see beyond that deceit?
May be one day
Culprits still roaming free, menace for many
Don't speak,what would the world say
Her foggy brain,her teary eyes inquire
Was it her fault?Dead silence scares her
She would be relieved of her agony
May be one day
Fear occupies crannies of heart,
If somebody foundout the truth?
A beautiful child with blackened aura
Has a dark secret hidden with her
The truth may reveal itself
Alleviating her of the pain
May be one day
She would rise above all this
Maryam saeed Nov 2019
Walking through the jungle with open eyes
She saw the darkness that curtained the beauty
She felt the fear which clouded her brain
She was in her own thoughts when she saw
A hungry beast walking towards her
His ferocious eyes stared at her
She could feel the hungry eyes
Her legs felt as they were gonna fall
Her body stopped supporting her at all
A screeching twig brought her to life
Suddenly she saw the stare change
The Beast was looking her with strange eyes
The beast stopped and with a loud roar
Said I can smell The fear from people eyes
For the first time I have saw a woman
With so much fear trying to trespass
A place known for its darkness
I can see A girl with dreams
Beauty, ambition, everything one can dream
So why are you on this path
You have everything one can ask
Mustering the fear, in a faint voice
Drenched in fear, she replied
Your argument is all right
I have everything one can ask
Beauty, brains, ambitions, a dream varsity
I have all comfort one can ask
But my gloominess has actually masked
The peace my heart has once asked
I don't know what the heart has cast
I cannot perform even simple task
I went through a lot of hurt in life
My culprits weren't given punishment at all
At start of darkness I asked for help
They ignored me,made me enter this hell
I still tried to find a way out
I cannot find anything to help
the murkiness have veiled the road out
In a weak voice she asked
Can you help me to get out
The beast laughed out loud
Nobody leaves this cloud
She closed her eyes,the beast roared
For The world again saw a soul close

Story of a little girl
Maryam saeed May 2019
This the story of a little girl
Who grew up to fast
Now things can never be the same again.

You stole the light from me
Now I can never be the person I want to be

You left be broken and bruised
And yet nobody knew about you

Whenever I think about that time
I feel my heart racing sometime
You took advantage of my innocence all the time
Yet you are in people good books many times

There are scars in me that cannot heal
Because of the pain you made me feel
The memories comes flashing in a reel

And this cycle repeated itself
I was again left broken and bruised
Yet the outcome was just the same

The pain and hurt I felt it again
In my memories it will always remain
Deepening the scars that might have healed

These memories still remain in my brain
Deepening,hurting,heavy like a crain

When I get scared of a little sound
The memories than come back around
The scar depth increased to a mound

When I see my people standing by you
Laughing with you,helping you
The scar bleeding renews

Nothing happened with both of you,
Yet I lost myself because of you
Happy lives lived by you
Your punishment was not served to you

You were infront of my eyes
Everyone was establishing their ties
Noby cared about my cries

When I see you standing there
People think I don't care
Expressing my emotions very rare
Nobody knew the pain I bare
