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.
