POEM - LEAVE

LEAVE
NAILA SAMAHA (Lebanon - USA)

The sadness deepens
Inside my body
When you betray me
Sense of touch
I feel like a failure every time
I struggle alone
And I have no shadow
Moving on
The walls of my room
It reminds me a whisper of nostalgia
I conceal what is inside me
And I don't complain for a while
The Lord of pain squeezes me
He stands like an executioner
On my shoulders to defeat me
At that time, he shook off
The dust of  my ribs
And I will come back to  stand by myself, resisting...
When I refuse to surrender
I am afraid of leaving
I am afraid to leave a message
And I have  lost my  address
To my home and country ......
My  homeland is a tragedy
That some weak souls cannot comprehend.
