Stranded I Stand

I stand stranded with wounds & a dead soul,
My heart is deprived, witnessing so much foul.
Road of life reached a dead end
Yet my heart tries to defend.
A beautiful world dwells humans with curled heads
I pray a day raining love to bloom for orchids beads.

Never imagined life will colour me black
Making me invisible to the all, I SCREAM,
Please see me,I EXIST!! I plead for acceptance.
I wander hand to hand, to hold me tight before I fall.
but ties are bound to weaken and move ahead
With a heavy heart I dust out the dung
Permit the emptiness never to clung.
The poison that run in my veins burdens
my brain with cranes of hatred seeking to drain.

The Sun growling fire & laughs at my misery,
I smile back waiting for the cloud's filled with
love,trust,faith,hope,acceptance being a shield
of my ferry that wanders in the ocean of isolation.

I ask my self,Where is the ZAHRA???Shy,
Reserved,Smiling,Peaceful & filled with Love?
I question my Conscience, "Why are you disheartend?"
It said, "None I need of this selfish world.
where Beauty,Brains,Fame,Name & Status
makes world complete. All I need is
to open my EYES in front of my LORD!"

The Poem is really touching and feels very true in most aspects when i compare it to my life, it makes me think are the people in this world become that selfish ? sometimes i wonder why does life have to have pain and tears, but then again as Zahra reminds me at the end that for every tear there is God to look upto and that I shall never forget, Dont worry Zahra, he will take care of everything.

There is a Dark place in my head - it's been stirred by this poem. It's a place where no one should be. Do not lose yourself inside your thoughts because that is a poisoned placed to live.

But within the darkness, there are candles lying about. Light a fire, light up the darkness. Allahu Akbar.
