" I am neither a tree nor a bird,
You won't see me with roots under my feet,
Devoid of freedom, faded and blurred,
I'm neither a tree nor a bird,
You won't see me in closed silver cages clad with iron sheet,
Devoid of freedom, far away from this beautiful world"

" I am thin, I am fat,
I am small and stout, I am bony and flat
What I say,do and cry or laugh,
Matters less than a pale,rugged white scarf,
Becuase,
I am thin, I am fat,
I am stout and bony and flat."
·.·.·.·
" I have all the colours, of me and you,
Pink,black,red,
yellow,orange and blue,
They hide in me, when you make me cry ,
Taking in all of your truths and the lie,
At night when I scream in the pillows on my bed
All the colours in me,alive or dead,
Swirls arround me with a deep frown,
Turning into an ugly little white clown."

" I have no gills, nor fins,
Yet the river water calls me with a wince,
Tempting me to live under it all,
Where I could swim in solicity and never truely
Fall."
·.·.·.·
" I am falling, I am running,
I am crying, I am laughing,
"Shut up this life"
I am broken, I am wired
I am sick and I am tired."

These are the entries of my diary when I was 13.
Reading those brought back some bittersweet memories as well as the ones that lead me to where I am today.
It was the year when I thought metaphors are a cool thing. Lol
So mind the heavily exaggerated lines.
Love,
Noha.
