A foreignerA Poem by Yasmin
Wind dances with the ashes of my cigarettes
Blowing in memories, I wanted to forget Strays of light fall on my skin Silence before my thoughts break in Pour another glass, watch magic forms Within ice cubes, creating storms Captivated by a maze within my eyes Windows of my soul, show me what you hide An avalanche of dreams, here they come A peaceful race, I'm willing to run Better check the cards, toss and let go Depression? anxiety? PTSD? No Toss the cards, one by one Between the worlds of the certainty and oblivion A foreigner, a traveler, call it what you want I've been seeking answers for as long as I can count Breathe, inhale, take another sip A smile forms, defeating my lips The answer has always been peace abate curiosity, let go, your soul, release Ironically the dance sparkles my wounds We will meet again, defeating the rules Numbed, forsaken with your presence Darkness had no evidence I am the mayhem, you aren't the salvation Focus, fight all temptations Break the chain of you thoughts Hold yourself, breathe in your fights © 2021 Yasmin |
