![]() HOPE
I am familiar with every pain,
I can’t even feel anger, My pains drowned, My thoughts in shackles. I am familiar with the earth, Being a refugee, Not like a cemetery, But not very different either. Caught in its spell, I seek peace, What is forbidden to us, The work of those like us. Lost in losses, I am chasing a trail, Echoing with every step, My forgotten dreams. The tears in my eyes, As deep as a sea, The screams in my dreams, A melody blending into eternity. I was once full of hope, Growing in the warmth of the sun, Now chasing shadows, In dark thoughts. The storms inside me, Envelop my soul, And I, a lost ship, I am tossed among the waves. I observe this world, In the silence of the nightingales, Life is like a labyrinth, I am lost while searching for the exit. Every journey is an adventure, But every stop, a separation, Between love and longing, Wounds open in my heart. And I, in these lands, I am learning the language of loneliness, Every pain, like a lesson, And every loss, a love story. Who knows, maybe one day, In my broken heart, A light will rise again, In the shadow of hopelessness. Sometimes I delve into the past, As memories come back one by one, Once upon a time, with smiles, Now filled with sadness. Even the stars are dim, Lost in the bosom of the night, I am looking for hope, Waiting on the opposite shore. But still, A glimmer of hope burns inside me, Each new day, A new beginning, Perhaps the wounds, Will scab over in time. And as I proceed on this path, Gaining strength from the pain in my heart, I will get back up every time I fall, To be reborn, In the embracing arms of life. |
