LIES OF FOREVER

By SANIA

 My shaky hands try grabbing onto

The gentle mummers of your voice

As you pass me by like wind,

I try holding on to every shred

As if letting you go is a sin.


If I possibly could,

I'd hold on for eternity and

I'd cherish your antics eternally.

If forever really was a thing,

We'd be woven together for good,

Seeming everlastingly happy,

To all those who looked.


But now, all I can muster up are

Despondent cries and anguished sighs.

Because now that you're gone,

I'm left to wonder what I'll see,

If I were to stare into the mirror for too long.

Will I see more of you than me?

For every part of me is 

Imprinted with the lies of 

'Forever,' you once told me.

I AM WOMAN

By SANIA
 I AM WOMAN I am God's precision I am grace I am the fire burning in your face. I'm what you can't envision, I am every holy man's unholy decision. I am phenomenal I am worthy. I am the one thing, Your shaking hands can't hold sturdy. I am tact, I am something you thought Wouldn't remain eternally intact. I am the enchantress I am your merit's peak. I am the vehemence of your desire, And I see you still staring as we speak. I am bewitching  I am beguiling Every time you look my way, I see you dubiously smiling. I am woman. I come in many forms Some frail some warm, Others thickskinned; stirring up a storm. I am mighty,  I am exceptional, Even though I am not God's model-sized angel.

ENCHNATING DREAMS

By SANIA
 ENCHANTING DREAMS Do I look stupid? Running away from dreams that enchant me? Enchanted less, I feel haunted more now. I wish I could ignore them or at least, I wish I could fulfil them. But how do you continue without hope? How do you continue without direction? How do you achieve what seems impossible? These are dreams I see with open eyes, They don't let me sleep. These are the dreams I want to fight for... But these are also the dreams I'm fighting against. It's because these dreams have the power, The power to ruin what I'm working so hard for. But these dreams, they also are the power, The power I hold on to so I don't crumble, Crumble to pieces and fall down on the dusty ground. [-sincerely, a dreamer whose goals are defined by society.]

WHEN I DIE

By SANIA
 WHEN I DIE When I die, Don't look for me In beautiful sunsets across the sea; Or in the sky, feeling the air you breathe For all traces of the life of me Will be six feet under, Under the ground where No one can see the blemishes and blunders That we made together, When we merrily played together. When I'm gone.....  Please don't act all mighty and strong. Let the people know That I was cherished and loved Through all the whimpers and sobs. Let them know, That my absence meant something. Perhaps to just you, not them But let them know, That I really mattered. When I die, Don't try to feel me In the soft summer rain. You know I wrecked thunderstorms, With my feelings of desire and rage. And try not to stargaze  While looking for me For you'll get entranced By the bigger, brighter stars While I glow calmly somewhere else. When I'm gone...  Don't be shy to Freely point out my wrongs, Along with all the mistakes I made. For I never pretended to be The angel all...
