When it rains
The clouds get all dark and creepy
They rumble in their tumbling style
Mixing up with each other disfiguring their beautiful shape
Same goes with me - mama said
Then They begin to strick thunder that was shaking the earth
And a light that was not easing but rather scary and threatening to tear up the sky
Just as the sky you threaten every inch stronger and i strive every breath harder to survive it- mama said
Just When it rains i felt the water broke down and here you are coming out gently- mama said
Its a glowing baby girl- exclaimed the doctor!
I stare into your Black eyeballs enclaved in their tiny medium-like lids
Gracing the A-lined nose, the chubby chicks and little thick lips that were no doubt your father's - mama said
The rain grew harder washing away all the pains then slowly lighter rhyming to your breathtaking lovely cries, the cries of life that gives joy to every mother-mama said
Your brothers ran to and fro shouting "kuzo ga baby"
And in two shakes of a lamp's tail my chamber was filled up, young and old, males and females , the queen has finally had a baby princess, the people say- mama said
In seven days, on the Day of 16th , in a grand style you were named Zainab, after the queen mother- mama said
Today after 20 and one years All i could remember is growing from one castle to the other
Following the routines of a typical princess
Preserving the honor and performing the roles
Swallowing my dreams as well as my tears
Being overprotected is one thing ive torn apart
And learning the art of war is my current favorite task in case i cant be princess forever, i can be something else.
Bending the rules a little bit is fun.
And today at twenty and a one it didnt occur to me as a surprise
Neither the people of my old or those of the new life could whisper a Simple happy birthday to me.
I just woke up to my empty phone and quickly plugged it to charge
I Walked into the bathroom to freshen up
Had my inscence burn its breathtaking scent into my sky blue lace
I wore my Silver nakelace that bloosomed my chest, a little bit of powder and a little of bright Pink lipstick
I looked into the woman reflected by the mirrow
Just When it rains again
Slowly it does
Slowly my eyes do
Twenty and a one long years
Still following the rules of the ones who barely forget the day you were born to them
Twenty and a one long years
Still enduring to make those smile Who only wish for your downfall
Twenty and a one long years
Still burrying your stand to fit in to the world that has no Space for you
Twenty and a one long years still wearing even a worn out crown
Twenty and a one long years
Still having so little that really is yours
Twenty and a one long years only mama still remembers you do exist
Twenty and a one long years!!!
