I drown but there is no one to lift me. I cry a million tear but no one cares. My little brother just asked me the reason for these tears, and I replied my eyes are just sensitive. This child just by laying next to me feels my misery, but those to whom I suffered, and stood by, turned their backs when I fell down. Don’t they know that I fell down, because of them? But to me, it was Ok. Everything was Ok. I didn’t take it as walking backwards but victory as though I was climbing a mountain or walking upstairs. I watch the TV, of those who suffer a lot, these children in Mali and Palestine… I see the blood that shed and those tears in their eyes… so pure and innocent and tragic… how I yearn to caress those children, and mingle with their parents, at least they are going to Heaven. I love them yet envy them. How I wish I was with them. At least these wounds locked within me will escape for the sake of good, for the sake of a loving country, God… for the sake of people who deserve my tears, my suffering. One voice speaks aloud, but not enough. I scream, but even those echoes resist to follow me…as though they feel embarrassed… I yearn to run, but there is no where to go… I love to stand on the roof, and get lost in the middle of the view, the cars, the homes, the police from afar, but I am scared I will fall down… I ponder and ponder, what is the point of living? And all what I am left with is blankness. I have no outstanding mission, nothing. I have failed every one, and better yet, myself. I talk, but no one understands. I fight, but they are stronger. How come they cannot comprehend the fact, that I, like them, is Eve’s daughter, I have the sensitivity of a woman’s heart and the earnest of a man. How come they misunderstand my love and take it for granted. If I hate someone so badly, I would not be able to stab them at the back? How could they? If they could just confront me directly face to face, even with a sword in the palm of their hands, I would respect them, but no they are cowards living lame lives. Guys you are so pathetic, live your own lives, leave me at peace. When you are stranded in the epitome of despair, and strive to breathe, to gasp for a pinch of air, you will know how I feel, that is when you drown. But if you took this emotion in the opposite way, if you fought to block the air to pass through your nose, mouth, and esophagus, so that you will breathe your last breath, you would understand. If suicide was not the key to hell, it would be my only option. But I will live, not love for life, but for love of a better life, Heaven.
