The one
Wedyan AlMadani Sep 2016
When you try to find the one
You end up with nothing but pain
and absolute agony with a hint of despair
You end up trying to change yourself for
someone you're not sure exists
You try and try and try
To be perfect, the perfect match
The perfect piece to that glorious pair
You try, but somehow you find yourself
failing, falling in misery and an anguish
you cannot bear

Illusion
Wedyan AlMadani Jul 2016
The only bond between us was the illusion of what could have been.
A lie that I kept in my heart like a prayer that I believed in.
Just a delusion of finding someone, who could have, would have, understood me beyond the touch of my skin.
But, once the smoke cleared I found myself again standing in the shadows of a hope that was never there.

Love II
Wedyan AlMadani Sep 2015
Love is that fine line
between heaven and hell,
took me to heaven
and now it keeps
dragging me down to hell.

You never loved her. What you really loved is the way she made you feel, like the whole universe collapsed and nothing was left for her to live for but you. The way she made her existence revolve around you. How she made you forget the worst in you and always knew how to bring out the best in you. So don't you dare saying that you loved her, because when she left that day you didn't move an inch to get back that so-called love you were almost always bragging about.

Atomic bombs
Wedyan AlMadani Apr 2015
Remember how
the United States
tried to go back to
isolationism after
the great war, but ended
up caught in a more
deadly and
catastrophic war?
That's exactly how
I feel right now.
I just want to build
Ford automobiles and
washing machines, but instead
I'm shooting Atomic
bombs across
the Pacific.

Be Selfish
Wedyan AlMadani Nov 2014
Love yourself,
cherish your self-worth,
& most importantly
forgive.
Forgive for yourself

because nothing
will haunt your existence
like the memory
of a wound that didn't mend.

Baby steps
Wedyan AlMadani Aug 2014
Sometimes all you need is to
isolate yourself from the world's
madness retreat back to a place
where you can recognize yourself
again and take a moment and
start thinking about yourself and only yourself, the decisions
you've made, admit your
mistakes and maybe let go?
It is never easy, but nothing is impossible
Baby steps won't hurt, just trust
these words

High
Wedyan AlMadani Jun 2014
You're gone but I won't get high
Cause I'm already fly
My aspirations reach the sky
There's no need to even try
You left without saying goodbye
There are no tears in my eyes
Just for you I'll never cry
No I'm not that shy
To tell you that I'll forget you in a blink of an eye
Don't forget that I'm the queen of July

Love
Wedyan AlMadani Mar 2014
I look into your eyes and see an immense love
A love I can't take anymore
A love that breaks my heart in bones
A love that is not right for me
A love I do not deserve
And a love,
a love that can fill the valleys with flowing rain

Goodbye
Wedyan AlMadani Mar 2014
I never knew how to say Goodbye
I learned to say Caio in Italian
Au revoir never seems like farewell in French
But Aloha looks like a hello in Hawaiian
Romanians usually leave with La revedere
The old English said God þē mid sīe (lit. "God be with you)
Persians are parting with (khoda hafez) خداحافظ
(ma'a as-salāmah) مع السلامة was the Arabs salutation
But I still don't know how to say *Goodbye

I don't need you
Wedyan AlMadani Mar 2014
I don't need a hero
In this story I will be
My own savior and you
Won't be my conqueror
I don't need to be saved
I need to be left in my solitude
With my thoughts & perceptions
I don't need you
I need me

Run
Wedyan AlMadani Oct 2013
Run
If your job is becoming less than a passion and more like a wrecked marriage.
You get up, you take a very deep breath and run.
Run like you're fighting your life, run till it's no longer killing you from the inside.
Because every time you decide to stay, to give it a shot, a try a do-over, you always end up getting hurt.
Even though you never show it, you put on that million dollar smile and get back to trying.
You try until it kills what's left of your will to live, your will to dream, your will to be the person you aspire to be.
You become less like an employee and more like a zombie.
You get up, get dressed, go to work, you wait for that magic hour; 5 o'clock, you go home.
You do it over and over and over, but you don't realize the compromise you've made.
That compromise to save a sinking ship; your marriage to your job, a kind of compromise that will poison your existence and take away not only your life, but every bit of feeling you have left.
So run like there's no tomorrow, run fast to the life you've always wished for.

Freedom
Wedyan AlMadani Oct 2013
I crave freedom
more than a sun
that craves to touch
the horizon

more than a moon
craving to be flaunted
at the midnight sky

more than a sinner
that craves to see
the seven heavens

and more than a saint
craving to be veiled
from hell's wrath

Xanax
Wedyan AlMadani Oct 2013
Anxiety is like a spouse you'll always be stuck with, for better or worse, who drives you crazy but you cannot live without. It lives with you throughout the day and night, holds your hand, nudges you to act, urges you to get up, to do more, to fix something or even make something. It pushes you to the edge, then holds you back right before you fall. It wants you to win, outshine the others, to impress and astonish everyone around you. And just like any marriage, you go with the flow, agree, and nod with a smile. Then one day, it has you by the throat and you find yourself losing it and losing yourself along. And just like friend you can rely on, Xanax is there, offering you an intermission, the gift of quietude, a break. Because the truth is, and I’ll speak for myself here. I want tranquillity once in a while, but I don’t want a tranquil life.

Pray
Wedyan AlMadani Sep 2013
Get on your knees and pray
like you won't get another day
to repent your sins and break away
nor find another way
to escape hell's ray
the hell in your mind, but wait
all you gotta do is astray
fall deep into the bay
to free your mind of the price you gotta pay
and your soul of the pain that still preys
to lose yourself and sway
in a world of grey, like Ray
get on that ride and get away
from a world with no say
and just play
with prose and poetry
till you meet me halfway
By Ray, I was referring to Ray Charles

As I blew my twenty birthday candles
I blew away my pain along the old love songs
I blew away the memory of where I used to belong
I blew the late nights bongs and cigarette smokes
I blew the spattered glasses and the charcoal ashes
I blew my scattered dreams across the galaxy
I blew the ghosts that haunted me day and night
I blew the haze of your love stains
I blew away the past, the memories I never wanted to last
I blew the pain of twenty year that were shattered like glass
My birthday was on Monday, my god it feels like a step closer to death.

Paris

People come
To the city of love  
To fall in love
Fall in lust
Fall in liqour
Fall in junk
But me
I've come
To make peace
With the me
I've left back here
The me that fell
So many times
I cannot recall
But I'm going back
With sweet lies
That won't ease
The aching pain
And a numb heart
That won't feel
A thing

In the morning
Wedyan AlMadani May 2013
Sometimes, at 3 AM in the morning
I lie awake and wonder about the unknown
Where would I be?
Who would I be with?
Would my children have their daddy's eyes?
Or would they have my madness?
And I wonder  about all what could have been
But what I wonder about the most is..
Would I be happy?
Sometimes when I'm wide awake at 3 AM in the morning I just wonder

I was never perfect
I can be the calm after the storm

I was never perfect
but I can be madness in its unconditional form

Isolation

Lost within an irrational equation
more like a unpredicted invasion
never knew what was the occasion
that forced me into this with no persuasion
not even an explanation just an evasion
a conflation that led me to devastation
of madness and rage straight to desolation
to the point of no return, the almighty isolation

Beware of the throne
that will break your bones
until your mind is blown
and your intentions are shown
your poor heart is thrown
but it's no longer your own
they will throw sticks and stones
at you till your sorrows groan
and with your agony you're alone
weeping flowers will be grown
that will sing your misery a tone
stay away of the unknown
the beautiful danger zone

No, you're not the one who completes my sentences nor the one who reads my mind.
You're never there when I need you the most and you never listen to the words I say.
You're loud and obnoxious, but your noises are much like music to my ears.
You're not the one I would die for, but you're the one I want spend the rest of my life with.
You're not the one who would fight for me, but you're the one I would fight for with every bit of my restless soul.
You're not the one who completes me, but you're the one who makes me feel whole.
You're the one I would tell my darkest secrets and worst stories to.
You're the one I would want to have next to me in this unknown journey of life.
You're not the one, but you're everything I've ever wanted.
You're the one I want.
You're the one I need.
You were always the one, but you never noticed, you never knew.
My scattered thoughts, scattered me.

clock, no more tick tock
a broken heart that
won't beat no more
and a broken soul that haunts
you till your sanity is no longer whole.
