Who Am I

Am I a person who hates everything or everyone in the world

Am I a person who is hated by everything or everyone in the world

Am I a person who disobeys everything or everyone

Am I a person who loves or am I a person who is loved

Who am I

Do I care for anyone or do I rely on everyone

Do I need to show my feelings

Do I need to hide from everyone

Do I love or do I hate everyone

Who am I

Am I lost in the world

Am I in love with the wrong sorts

Am I in denial or am I confused

Am I lost in my world, where no one can help me

Who am I

Where do I belong

Where am I going with my life

Am I ever going to figure out my true purpose in life

Am I always going to be a person who is lost more than ever

Am I always going to be confused and lost

Will I ever figure out who I am in this life

Or will I always be lost and not know where I belong

WHO AM I

Mother

She forgives us for everything we have done wrong

She makes sure we are safe from any harm

Verbal or Physical

She puts herself in front of us

I hope someday I could show her how much I love her

She guides us to the right path when we go astray

She provides for us in shelter, clothing, food, and extra accessories

She makes sure we are in good health

Physically and Mentally

She makes us her whole world

All she wants is our happiness

All she wants is our safety

All she wants is our honesty

All she wants is our friendship

She wants so little but we make it a big deal

She sacrifices her time for us

She would sacrifice her life for ours

But we can’t sacrifice any time for them

We complain and whine because we don’t want to do what she wants to

She does everything in the world for us

In a world we may be no one but to her we are the world

In a world we may not be as important but to her we are everything

In a world we may be incomplete but she completes us

She is our first love

From Birth till Death

She is our life as we are hers

Is That Me?

Maymoona Rashid

Presenting “Is That Me”

Looking behind

Seeing past events

Tearing up about deaths and losses

Is that me

Looking forward

Seeing a mystery

Smiling up about happiness and new adventures

Is that me

Looking up into the heavens

Clouds everywhere, sun shining brightly

Confused about dreams

Is that me

Looking down onto the ground

Green grass growing dry, while the roads keep growing longer

Understanding the changes around me

Is that me

Should I tear up about losses in my past

Should I smile upon my future

Should I stay confused about my dreams

Or should I understand everything logically

Only Time shall tell…

Home

Home

By: Maymoona Rashid

Where is home
Where can you find home

Is home where you find love and compassion for one another

Is home where you find a mother and a father

Is home where you find a sister and a brother

Is home where you find a niece and a nephew from either sister or brother

Or is home where you are together with people that are dearest to you

Is it where you are together with the ones you love

Is it where you think that your mom should be with you with every moment

Is it where you bother your mother for every little detail

Is it where you don’t show your love for everyone and everyone become distant

Is it where you try to hard to become what you’re not

Is it where you think you need to be something else for people to love you

Or is it a place for family to be together and never forget the love that we share

Heart-Broken

Heart-Broken

I am in my scared and lonely place

Wishing I had someone to lighten the place

Someone I thought who'd be there forever

Alas she is not

She has a beautiful face, a beautiful smile

And a beautiful heart of love

Now all I can see is anger and hatred for me

I am starting to think that all that love for me will never be
