Rick

all that pain
and belittlement
you served me
day and night
when no one
was looking
made the little
man within you
feel much, much,
much bigger
but now you
stand before me
weeping
with no teeth
and the big man
within me
has forgiven you.

Mirror's pain

1d Aya

Mirror's pain

I'm scared to look in the mirror,
My reflection saddens me,
I don't feel pretty anymore,
The more I grow, the more I realize my insecurities.
I hide myself from the world,
It pains, it hurts.
What can I do?
My scars are internal,
But they show on my face.
Every day is a battle of comparison
Between myself and the pretty folks.
Maybe one day I'll sing the beauty melody...

Unspoken

I carry worlds within my chest,
silent storms I don’t confess.
A smile, a nod,a quiet plea,
hoping someone sees through me.

Denial

Denial

It can't be over,
I whispered to my soul ,
Yet, indeed, it had ended.

tremors

tremors

tremors
the familiar anxious feeling
when I'm all alone
alone with my thoughts
the shadows creep in
gifting me tremors
tremors that capture my hands and legs
tremors that make my heart flutter and pound
tremors that terrify me
reminding me of that night
the night I tried to end it all
the memory gives me tremors
and terror

the sky's many faces

1d Aya

Liam

the sky's many faces

the sky so hauntingly beautiful
with all it's different faces
so pale and grey and somber
so vibrant and orange and joyous
so dark and purple and mysterious
so bright and blue and carefree
the sky has many faces
they change at will
with the change of the wind
the colors shift to show it's emotions
the sky so hauntingly beautiful

RED TRIANGLE FACING DOWNWARD

7d Aya

RED TRIANGLE FACING DOWNWARD

Ismail Haniyeh has become a martyr.
Yahya Sinwar has also become a martyr.
But the struggle still continues.
Hamas is still capable of fighting.
The Al Qassam brothers still continue to finish off cowardly Israeli soldiers.
Ambush them , aim at their heads or blow up their merkava tanks.
Of course the red triangle facing downward will always appear.

OH HABIBTI

Oh Habibti.
Why are you so beautiful ?
Your smile seduces my heart.
Your gaze brightens my soul.
You are the most beautiful woman in Gaza.
I want to make you my beloved wife.
Oh Habibti.
