*can't say this is a poem but its a free style text of emotions and feelings..I know I could have written much much better had my mind not been exhausted by the amount the thoughts that ran around*
In search of what many call a soul mate,
I take my next breath with hope,
I take it with a silent prayer,
That O Allah, I need that someone,
That I am tired of burying my thoughts within,
I’m tired of hiding my tears behind a smile,
Not that I am becoming weak as others are,
I would rather die than become what others are today,
Friendship seems a joke in this world now,
‘I trust you’ they say but always take others words,
The word love is merely a word today,
Rather it has become quite physical,
Or it’s only reserved for those who look good,
Or who are social or smoke…the ‘dangerous’ guy as they call it,
For the decent and reserved…well my friends, love is reserved…
Feelings of people seem to be fading by the day,
Trust seems to suffer inflation or rather scarcity,
We talk when we feel alone, when we need someone,
Ever thought how about when they need you,
I guess not…after all, it’s MY life…it’s all about ME,
But you know what…all of those, should feel pity for themselves,
Because that one person who they talk to when they are sad,
Will always be there no matter what the circumstance,
That itself is an ouch…
I guess I am just writing what I feel,
That’s why my thoughts are all over the place,
There is a desire to have someone, and on the other hand,
Anger towards those who just let go off that person easily,
Galib, one of my favorite poets, writes:
‘love has been treated unfairly in this world,
Those who care never get it…those who get it, never care’
I’m just tired I guess…and angry at the way I see people around,
I often hold back all this,
Another favorite writer of mine, Faraz writes:
‘may the habit of being alone not make you lonely,
When the day ends, try and share it all out with someone’
So it’s good to just write what you feel,
Just the way you feel it, that’s the way you write it,
Don’t care what someone has to say about what you wrote,
You should just…
Just write…
