Are you the hero?

I was asked this question.

I wanted to answer enthusiastically, Yes!

However, I lingered, and answered:

No, Im not a hero.

Is happiness in fulfilling yourself?

I was asked this question.

I wanted to answer enthusiastically, Yes!

However, I lingered, and answered:

No, I didnt!

Do they love you?

I was asked this question.

I wanted to answer enthusiastically, Yes!

However, I lingered, and answered:

No, they didnt!

They asked me, how do you feel?

and I answered:

Nothing!

Yesterday, and after tomorrow

To:.....

I wish, I had time,

to tell you about my first dream,

but,

I'm one of those who don't remember their dreams.

As a matter of fact, I don't recall the last time I dreamt!

Therefore, what I tell you;

is the result of years of solitude.

Someone stopped me and said:

Let me take a picture of you,

so here is evidence of your existence!

When they built roads we wont take,

all what was left is the dream of arrival,

as inevitably, it will end!

Today

To:......

He woke up one day,

he couldn't find his pen,

So, he wrote with his nails on the wall.

What he wrote, wasn't new,

but mattered!

He wrote about his children and friends.

every day's tale, then slept.

Next morning, he didn't wake up!

He was gone,

without saying goodbye!

Live!

In the quarries,

I was used to hearing the dead’s tales.

During the day, when I’m exhausted,

The bell rings to let us know the news,

My compatriot died!

Our boss commands “Do not stop working!”

Days passed,

I don’t recall memories of those who left us,

Yet their faces become familiar,

In Every day’s work.

The Last Days

Got bored of writing

As no one reads anymore

Yet I still write!

Friends tried and fail,

Yet I stood encouraging them from afar

But they didn’t hear my call,

And that’s all what I could have done!

You have the right to wish

Even if your wishes didn’t make sense!

And I have the right to support you,

Even if my support was useless!

Yesterday

To: Farah

The cage door opened,

So I went out to sing.

They cheered

Sympathized,

And encouraged me…

So, I left.

They carried on applauding,

I went my way,

Then I realized my sin.

I left home,

All what I knew,

So…I returned.

Ce La vie

To: Farah

They wont recognize me,

Trying hard to remember,

At the end, they will ignore me.

When I saw her at the café, I got attached

When she left, I followed her for miles

She paused at her home for moment

And then entered.

When I knocked at her dor,

The door was opened, and it wasn’t her!

If you see her, tell her

I tried…and failed
