I need meA Poem by Deema Jabr
It's not about how I feel anymore; it's about if I can live with it, live through it for the millionth time.
I need change. I need a new book not a new chapter. I need a new place, not new people. I need reasons that will keep my chin up, not excuses that will close the door temporarily keeping away my problems. I don't want to see myself falling apart and just watch with my hands tied behind my back. I'm sick of worrying if I will ever be good enough, when deep down I know I have the power to be - not only a star , but a person with a name that will remain behind her and a mark that will stain. It will stain like blood, and never leave. So, why? Why do I choose to be comfortable and avoid the pain? Pain is good. Pain will drive me crazy! Maybe crazy enough to want to succeed. I want to talk me. It's been a while, since I confronted me. I think she's pissed. But I can't make up her expressions anymore. Now I just realised how long it's been since I have genuinely looked into her eyes. Her eyes can tell a story. Haha, wow. It's been that long. "I won't leave me", I whispered to my weak self. Not anymore 'cause you see I want that part of me. I want it to see what it's capable of. I need me. © 2015 Deema JabrReviews
