Help Poems
Angel's cry
by Emna Hmani
The darkness overwhelms me again
But even if I reach out it's all in vain
As the lights fade away
In this eternal abyss i shall stay
Alone, afraid, desperate
Surrendering to my own fate
My feathers are tainted red
I try to spread my wings
But something inside of me is dead
My Angel's dead

Shipwreck
by Fathima Shihabudeen
In the turbulent sea, my ship wrecked
And my boat capsized
The waves weighed me down
The dark infinity stretched around me
There was no light above
And only darkness below
I finally gave in and was ready
To be gorged by the insatiable sea
I let go and felt a calm
That was as pure as rain

On A Journey of Guilt
by Ololade Raji
I entered the room for a thousandth time
Is this a syndrome of amnesiac I seldom dreaded?
Yet I never forgot the cause for my wandering tour
But no stealthy feet could have filched a golden watch
A heavenly gift from whom I see no more
Can a crook creep through the cranny of this fortress?
Not found, this abode will whiff a stale stench from same sweet aroma
You will weep as you sweep, as your broom sweeps no room
Call the driver! And that old the gardener is doomed

It's Alright
by Yoko Fushigina
Close aweary eyes, let down your hair,
Allow your gory arms to rest,
Give free rein to genuine despair,
Open up your damaged chest.
Show me weakness, insecurity, regret.
It's not a sin to have help by your side.
Let my shoulder take your tired head.
It's alright.

Broken Young Minds
by Ashlesha Nandankar
Life full of grievances and prejudice,
He was young, broken, and fragile.
Crying under the sheets every night,
Who was he going to blame this time?
Life had been miserable once every while.
He was begging and grovelling for someone to reach out this time,
Anyone would be just fine!
There was no one to stay by his side,
Not for a while or even for the sake of the last time.
He was hoping for someone to come and say,

Unconscious seducer
by Sharona anonymous
I am hurt so I hurt you.
Your touch lets me live.
Your hug gives me safety and security.
Your subtle fleeting kisses make me feel loved.
I can't give you the love you want and deserve.
Yet I let you give it to me.
It is selfish.

Concentration
by Sharona anonymous
I am not happy
How can I listen to what you say?
You talk about different bones
I think "why can't I laugh?"
you talk about my attitude
I ask myself "why am I here?"
You are explaining about blood

bit by bit, little by little
by Bogdan Dragos
there were times when she bit and
chewed the inside
of her elbow
to spit the bits of flesh
and the blood
on her grandma
but those times were over
