Rawan
Qatar, UAE
I wandered the shadows till I reached the light
And then the darkness got hold of me again.
In one unforgiving night
The stars dimmed and the peace got chained
The night turned into a suffocating blight
And the laughter was wrapped in iron chains
I’d thought the light was only hours away
So I forced my trembling hand to keep me still
I believed each second would turn the sky grey
But the darkness reached even the furthest of hills.
I closed my eyes and prayed
For the light to once again return
I wanted to let my heart cry
but the tears would only let my body burn
My body shook with uncontrollable rage
I was foolish and stupid and hurt
I knew I shouldn’t wait for the light to pledge
But I still let my knees sink into the dirt.
