Something In MeA Poem by Maryam MottahedehSomething In Me There is no escape From FEMA's concentration camps From the new world order Something in me has to die Before destiny’s call Before The bell of night Something in me Has to die In broad daylight Something in me The thing that grasps In all its hopes And all the fear Something The image in the mirror has to die The thing that keeps the count The thing wanting so much more Holding on There is so much to let go of Yet it is something in me that needs to die The death of future In the memory of now That this very breath This very moment may be the last To do the right thing Without a past Something in me needs to die Death of the unknown Connecting dots and strings To that which is doomed Why not Why not Let it go and die To find my body a gift That which has already been doomed And are not all my desires
In the play ground I play Games, games, games Of fear and desire Of hope and aggression So much so much bitterness to let go of So much sweet comfort Something Something in me needs to die © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
