How You Title This Is Up To You.A Poem by Mahmoud AlfaouriSomething that will help you lift your self.The world will never go easy. Time will never stop to please me. No matter how fast I run. I’ll never get to the sun. I seem to be a step behind the world. But a step beyond the underworld. Is this it for me? I ask. Forging ahead with the given tasks. Unmasking this phony mask. How do I better myself? I question. Listening to my own conscious suggestion. Doing what society is asked of me. Only holding me back to always flee. Opportunities are there but never taken. Always causing me to submission. How do I better myself? I question. Allowing others to reimage my image. Causing me to see my afterimage. One might say “look at yourself in the mirror”. First thought “what a winner”. For I’ll never allow you to change me. I’ll drive my own will to the shape it be. Pushing ahead to reaching the sun. Knowing the fact that it’ll never be done. I won’t fear the consequences ahead. Until the day I rest in my deathbed. Many of you dislike my personality. I am sorry to tell you, that is your fatality. If only you knew what drives me daily. Without a doubt, you’ll join me bravely. The world will never go easy. Time will never stop to please me. No matter how fast I run. I’ll never get to the sun. I seem to be a step behind the world. I will keep pushing with a vision that is hurled. How do I better myself? I’ll always question. © 2016 Mahmoud Alfaouri |
