I'm more than just a number

This is a poem abdelrahman wrote called "Limbo"

Posted by his family on 27th of June, 2014

"Days and days have come and gone

And I'm clinging to the hope of being free

A hope I had since day one

But frustratingly, it never seems to be.

Aims and dreams shattered and broken

Sometimes it's more than I can take

Hopes and words left unspoken

And now my faith begins to shake.

I shut my eyes and envision tomorrow

I picture my dreams painted in the sky

"They seem so far" I regard with sorrow

I yearn for them, but they're a bit too high.

I picture seizing them, and I linger there

I feel triumph, I sense freedom

I try to grip that felicity, and not flare

I obliterate my lamentations, I desire eluding them.

If only I could halt the time

If only I could dwell right here

Never to return to this place of crime

Never undergo this ominous fear.

But as once a friend has said to me

In a moment of clarity under the rain

If ever you dream of being free

You must remember:" No pain, no gain". "
